I should clarify that part. It did the same thing it always does if the 12V battery has been disconnected. After starting the car it showed 4 bars of charging for about 2-3 minutes, after which the charge/assist gauge went back to the center. I did this with the car sitting in the driveway. Once I started driving the car it provided weak assist at first, then stopped providing assist and went into forced charging.
