How do you get the advanced option for more than 80% on a Blink?
My recollection is that the first screen gives something like 60% / 70% / 80% / Other as options.
Just select Other.
That will then give you options of 90% and 100%.
If you were low enough on charge, nominally under 50%, and the LEAF automatically stops the DCFC, you will have to turn the LEAF off, and go back through starting a Blink DCFC again and select Other and then 90% or 100%.
The LEAF always controls the DCFC, other than the Blink DCFC having option selections to have it automatically stop at a certain % charge.
The Eaton DCFC always continues to charge until the LEAF tells it to stop, or until you stop the charging.
Once the DCFC starts, you can hit the LEAF start button twice and you will be able to run the heat / AC and also watch the bars indicator on the LEAF (or in the 2013 watch the % of charge too).
I've used the Eaton more than the Blink, so I usually select other and 100% on the Blink.
The DCFC % does not correlate directly with the bars display.
I usually charge until I get 10/12 bars. (unless I'm in a hurry)
Going from 8/12 to 10/12 takes on average around 12 minutes.
While below 8/12 bars its less than 3 minutes per bar, sometimes <1 1/2 minutes for the first bar or two if you're at a very low starting point.
