You're using the INC100 power supply? Good call and it is better described as a power supply rather than just a charger. I accidentally found a good deal on one and also picked one up a few months ago. Nice machine.

Yes, G05 can draw a lot and I had previously gotten battery warnings on long coding sessions even when on a lesser charger (you don't really *need* the car on for long during actual coding, you can do anything long offline, but it was convenient to not go back and forth). Part of it is that the car turns on a lot of stuff by default. When I code, I tend to turn off all lighting, for example, and this is a good use of the individual front and rear DRL controls you can get with coding; the ECUs are still on, but the power hungry lights are off.
