GV70 AC Off While Charging - Normal or Bug?

[kylemnhn]

Just found out my GV70 shuts off the AC when I’m charging it - goes into some Auxiliary power mode or whatever. It’s super annoying, especially with this ridiculous heat. Is this actually how it’s supposed to be, or are there any hacks to keep the AC blasting while charging?

I hooked mine up to an L3 charger, and the A/C kept blasting the whole time! Even though it goes into accessory mode, I can still chill with some cool air.

Same issue since July. Any luck sorting it out, @kylemnhn?

Hey @kylemnhn, I have had the same issue, and honestly, it is just how the system’s designed.
When you are charging, it prioritizes battery health, which can mean some features, like A/C, are dialed back.
If you have access to an L3 charger like @FatJambob mentioned, that might help keep things running while you charge.
Otherwise, it is a bit of a waiting game till you are done. Hopefully, they will change that in future updates!

It’s likely designed this way to conserve battery while charging, but check the settings or consult the manual for any options to adjust the behavior.
