Does anyone know whether, in an '06 HiHy, the 12V battery will be maintained or depleted in "Ready" state, parked in "P", with a steady, say, 50 Amp draw on the battery (powering an external inverter connected directly to battery w/ heavy wiring).

Is the 12V connected to the traction battery through a DC voltage converter, or is it only charged by the ICE's MG1?

And will the ICE automatically start to recharge the 12V in "Ready" mode when a low voltage setpoint is reached?

If it all happened through the huge capacity of the traction battery, with the ICE maintaining it periodically, that would be a perfect solution to our recurring threat of power outages - last one three weeks ago was 4 days, another storm here now.
