Glad it's helpful. 👍🏼 enjoy

Thanks. Been happy with mine so far.

Thanks for taking the time to view. Much appreciated

Did it hold up? I’m working on sending a D2 back under warranty for the 2nd time. Other Noco products I’ve used at work have been stellar.

Had made a difference with all my vehicles. Love it.

today the battery tester says my 1000cca agm battery now has 83cca. i have a noco genius. what mode do i put it in? what's step one? two? three? four? five? how do i put it in maintain mode after it charges? what will the lights on the device do when it enters maintenence mode?

@@fallback8314 NOCO Genius 5 Battery Charger/Maintainer How to, Features, and Accessories kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osebaMZ-l7ypaYk.html This was my original video on it. I should cover the questions you have. You would use 12V AGM mode. Hook it up select 12v AGM and leave it. It will take care of everything else. The video linked above will show the status lights and how they look as it chargers and when it is just maintain. Skip to 10:23.

A follow up was important for me to do so people know my experience with it.

Thank you!!!

I'm glad to hear it was informative. Much appreciated. That has been my whole goal of videos. Make them as informative as possible. How do you like the gt350? Almost bought one but the prices scared me into my boss 302.

Hi there, if you're taking about the 1.5 amps charger\maintainer it's basically a glorified trickle charger. If you open them up you'll find a puny circuit board in there (it almost looks cute, it's so tiny!!). NAPA sells one too and they are both made by the same company, the outside sticker is the only difference. It's a pretty average product overall and does not have a float mode once the charging process is done.

Any results? :)

@@samuhell14 How is this not float mode (from the manual)? After the battery is fully charged, the charger will continue monitoring the battery, and provide ongoing maintenance and optimization. The 100% Charge LED will pulse “on” and “off” slowly during these cycles. The charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely.

I'm talking about a completely different brand and model, read my comment completely please

Weather seems to have no affect on it so you should be good to go. That terrible that you have to deal with an electrical draw on a new vehicle. I would not be a happy camper. I wish you luck with this issue and hope ford takes care of you.

Hi there, if you install a charger\maintainer yourself make sure to connect the negative eyelet on a conductive part of the chassis or an existing chassis ground, not the battery post directly just like most added accessories. That way the energy going in\out the battery is measured by the Battery current sensor and the car's charging system can calculate the battery state of charge properly and adjust accordingly. It's especially important with AGM batteries as their Achilles heel is gassing. Best luck with your parasitic current draw though, I really hope it's not the dealership screwing you over by being lazy and\or dishonest. :(

Any outdoor rated 14 gauge extension cord should be good. I would recommend a plug cover if it is going to be in the weather at all. This will keep the gfci plug on the patio from tripping due to moisture. All outdoor plugs are GFCI protected due to the weather exposure. Last thing you want is to find out it wasn't charging because the GFCI plug on the patio tripped. Here's a link to a plug connection cover. Hope this helps!!! amzn.to/3F4NmtJ

Yes you would need to discount from one another because there are separate modes for each one so they need charged separately.

That's interesting. Did you ask the dealer why that may have happened?

Hi there, some European car manufacturer strongly suggest to charge the car via the OBD2 port for such reasons as you might've plugged the charger directly on the negative battery post instead of the chassis ground. What might've happen in that case is that the car sees the low voltage (12v) lithium battery voltage rising without energy going through the battery current sensor so it thinks there's a thermal runaway event or electrical failure and commands the battery management system into protection (disconnect) mode. I've had a similar issue on a customer's brand new BMW last month although the lithium battery is the auxiliary one in that particuliar model so it was not towed in but rather drove in with a concern about the start\stop system no longer working. I highly doubt the lithium battery is dead or damaged yet as they have an internal controller to prevent such result. I feel like the dealer just pulled a quickie on you if it was not warrantied.

Thanks Sam for the explanation which makes sense. Two questions : 1/. Is it best to trickle charge from cigarette lighter ? 2/. My new CTEch is connected on battery terminals and has the battery topped off. No problems ? CTech can reset lithium battery !! NOCO CAN NOT OFFER THIS FUNCTION … why would anyone buy this charger Thanks

You're welcome! I'll try to answer your question to the best of my knowledge. First, you can't trickle charge most vehicle through the cigarette lighter anymore as it's usually a circuit that's live with the ignition key\push button in the accessory or On position, kinda defeats the purpose. Older car usually had that circuit powered at all time (direct connection to the battery through a fuse) and it would work For your second question, it's a bit tricky to give a straight answer. You won't cause damage to the lithium battery so to speak but you may get a DTC in the long term, it has to do with the car's battery current sensor not seeing the amount of energy you're putting in the battery with the charger. Car Lithium battery all have an internal module to keep the cells balanced and it's independent from the vehicle, so if that module report a different current state of charge than the car's own computer you might get a diagnosis trouble code in one\few modules, it really depends on the logic implemented by the manufacturer. However, any lithium battery chemistry so far (including your smartphone and EVs) WILL degrade faster if kept at full charge unlike lead acid batteries. It cause cell oxidation and it's irreversible unfortunately. It would be best to let the car manage the lithium battery on it's own And lastly, I don't have an answer why the Ctech will charge your battery unlike the Noco, I'm guessing it's somehow able to wake up the battery control module and charge it. I personally own a newer Gen series (not genius) from Noco and their charging and float algorithm as well as the cell equalization (repair) mode for lead acid battery works really well, it's far from being an useless product. I'm kindda curious to test the lithium charging mode and see what it does with an oscilloscope though.

Again Samuhell I very much appreciate your insights here !! And Time you’ve invested on my thread!! I’m aware of the lithium BMS circuit and its role. So my important take away is to mount the charger quick connector on the positive battery terminal and the negative on chassis Ground to provide the proper current flow path. Is this correct? The quick connect harness provided by the manufacturer tells us to mount it on the battery terminals. But I do understand the current path you are recommending (chassis grd). And I only plug in the battery maintainer when the car is out of service and covered for long periods … this ok? My NOCO must have a failure to cause the battery to discharge and force the BMS to disconnect. Regards Bruno

Ah yes the apples to oranges comparison, a trickle charger vs a jump starter.
