NOCO Genius question

[Mcdust]

wouldn't turn on without the fuse working

Good point, like the one on my head

If it is cold where the batteries are being charged ie unheated garage, cold floor or outside, it may affect the charging. That being said, mine goes into Solid Green when fully charged.

We have three 1 amp NOCO (1 indicator light) and one 10 amp NOCO (4 indicator lights) three are red and one is green.

The three chargers lets be due the 36 volt golf cart in one pass but doesn't give me a lot of detailed information. The 10 amp with four indicator lights lets me figure out what is going on better.

I find it can take weeks to recover some batteries, especially if on a car that has a parasitic draw.

I have not played with the lithium battery charging feature yet.

If one has 15 or 20 batteries that you want to keep usable I recommend starting with no less then the 10 amp version. Cleaning the sulfur off of the plates can take a long time.

Flooded cell storage batteries DO NOT produce sulfur at all. The produce lead sulfate from the chemical reaction between the lead plates and the acid electrolyte. The lead sulfate drops off the lead plates and falls to the bottom of the case and eventually shorts out the plates and renders the battery useless. Why, well made wet charged storage batteries have a space between the bottom of the plates and the bottom of the case, just so the lead sulfate has a place to collect without shorting out the plates and rendering the battery useless.

If you have a charger with a 'desulfation' mode, what it does is it produces a modulating DC current that supposedly 'shakes' off the lead sulfate that has accumulated on the lead plates and allows the battery to fully charge again. The Lead sulfate on the plates deter charging. All flooded cell and AGM batteries do it.

I had a 1 amp NOCO connected for a week without checking on it and it was green pulsing today so I don't know if it would ever go solid but I'll check that someday.

It's the factory size for the F-150 2010 and the battery is actually a AGM from O'Reilly's.

pulsing green means its done, it does not go solid.

pulsing green means its done, it does not go solid.

Like i said, mine do. They go from pulsating orange to pulsating green, than to solid green. Battery sits at 13.8 volts.

Apparently it is otherwise, it is red till it is fully charged, then pulsing while de-sulfating and how they say "optimizing", and then solid green for just monitoring to replenish if the voltage drops

Thanks for posting the factual statement from the manufacturer.
