[200q20v] battery charging

[Peter Berrevoets]

Interesting that you couldn't find a good ground. This might indicate that
there are some existing failures of grounding straps and such like that are
just waiting for some other problem to mate with and create yet another Audi
gremlin. Might be a good idea to check the condition of those same grounding
straps.
