I don’t know about the '07 but my '02 will drain some power just sitting there so if you’re leaving it for a week, I would throw the main battery cutoff switch/breaker and I would test the battery voltages when you get back. Bad batteries will bleed down their voltage just sitting there while good ones will hold their voltage for even a few weeks.

Where are you seeing the “CC”? I don’t recall ever seeing that on my '10 which has the same T4 and display in the pod as the 07. Unless it only flashes briefly at completion, which I’ve been there to watch.

I probably missed the post, but did you ever post what charger you have and what model it’s set to?

I’m guessing he has an aftermarket charger.  
Doesn’t the R4F charger do this?

Don’t question him. He knows what he is doing.

Yes, the Quick Charge SCO-7210 / R$F $uperCharger will display “CC” at the end of the cycle.

If that’s the charger that @davidreuter has, should probably check to see that the correct profile settings are turned on/off for the battery type.
