NOCO Genius 1 Battery Charger - Best Value! 

It's works ...

I did too, arrived within hours!

Do u have to keep plugged into wall when charging battery

$8? Wow 🤩

Does it work for car batteries that just need a jump ?

Good to heat that?

Fantastic!

Will it work in a pickle? I'm on solar and five Amos is too much for.my.sytem.

Thanks for killing my hopes pile.

Yep I had a 9 year old battery in my going to town pickup. Bought this maintainer and got a few more years out of the battery before it finally completely died and wouldn't take any charge

@@deantoniothurmond5320 buy it anyhow! It will work fine.

What if u have a good battery but it’s just needs a jump? Will this work until I can get a jump from another car?

Apparently he couldn't read the instructions in the manual. I cut the video off right after that point ... hell, I could have done that on my own!!! Nope ... not following this guy ... forget it!!!

I connect it per instructions and it just flashes red and green for a few minutes then shuts off. Instructions Don’t even mention what that means. It tells you to press and hold for 3seconds. When I do that it goes to the next battery mode, which is wrong for me. They may think this one button set up is simple, but it’s confusing. I am now tempted to use another brand with separate on/off and mode selector buttons.

@@Prolificposter Which light is flashing red and which light is flashing green, and what type battery are you trying to charge? Sounds like you entered FORCE MODE by holding the down the MODE button for 5 seconds or longer, and then chose a mode (I.e. 12v, 12v AGM, Lithium). In FORCE MODE, the Charge Mode LED (item 1 in the NOCO manual diagram) and Charge LED (Item 5 in the diagram ) will alternately flash, indicating Force Mode is active. It might be shutting off because of a protective circuit, or the unit or something with the battery is defective. Holding down the MODE button for 3 seconds is for one thing, and one thing only, and that is to enter 6V mode. You know you have done it right when the last LED on the right of the MODE row lights up white. It’s possible you have a defective unit. NOCO has a good warranty, and/or return it where you purchased it, or call or online chat. They are very helpful.

It might, this charges at 1 amp, which is very very slow. This is more or a maintainer than a charger... You can find better faster chargers for sure, this is just a very budget friendly quality maintainer

AGM batteries are designed to require 14.6v - 14.8v when performing a full charge from a state of discharge, whereas standard lead acid batteries need 13.8v - 14.4v, hence this is what most onboard chargers are designed to deliver - not the 14.6v - 14.8v that AGM requires.

I haven’t had mine very long the box was open upon delivery i’d say it works great lil slow for the bigger batteries 25 hours or more if it’s low. However it doubles as a tender after it charges (cables sold separately) if it’s on sale it’s more than worth the money you won’t be disappointed

Reading manual first is always a good idea

I would have, if a hired hand hadn't threw away the box and everything

Thank you 🙏

I would guess AGM mode.

Most car batteries are agm no vehicle runs on lithium unless it's an EV

Either or will do just dont do lithium

Agm ate sealed batteries. Agm do not have servicable opening / caps on top of the battery. Agm can not burp (let go off gas / air). 12v means traditional lead acid batteries.

thank you. so i will stick to 12v only, because i think my battery is just ordinary with life span of 2-3yrs

@@DIYGEEKTEXAS Thank you!

I have a wall plug that is awkward to plug this thing into. So I just use an outdoor extension cord. It works fine.

It will work on all batteries pretty much just slower. But shower is better with batteries actually

It’s a battery charger-no.

Yes. It is, after all a maintainer. They wouldn’t expect you to disconnect your battery from the vehicle every time you plugged it in to maintain the battery.

It should be indicated on the battery.

Yes I am sure it would charge your 2006 Mercedes’ Benz e350 battery

It works on my 2009 c300

No.

@@Ironfangzu yes they do. I have it setup now like I stated.

I have a toy car in the back garage. It’s a model year 2000 with about 16k miles on it. Some years it doesn’t get driven at all. What I do is simply remove one of the cables from the battery post which I guess breaks the circuit and then just reconnect it when I want to drive. Mind that it’s a fair weather toy that only gets driven 3 season. I’ve never had it not fire up right away.

Thank you for your support!

The light (some color) will show within 15 seconds or less.

I resent the fact they are calling this a battery charger. False advertising in my opinion. This little thing can only deliver 1 amp max, so if you have a battery that has a 300 amp hour capacity, expect it to take approximately 300 hours to charge. That being said, it is a really good battery maintainer. I've used it on my RV to maintain the coach batteries, which are large capacity deep cycle batteries, and it has done fine with them.

@@humunguswarrior I hear you. It took 2 and a half days to charge my car battery, but it did..eventually so as long as I'm not in a hurry it's all good. And yes, I originally bought it as a tender so for the money it's a good little unit. Thanks for your input!🤙

Yes, it is better for the battery to be disconnected from the car, especially for its maintenance features. However I would not be surprised if NOCO Genius 1 can detect if car/truck is still connected and it will probably just try to charge the battery only.

You have to plug it in a a outlet.

Well if your on the side of the road broke down,, then how/where would you plug the Norco battery charger into?🤔

😂

Its a 'trickle' charger. 1amp. If you want it faster get 4 6 or 8amps

No this is just a battery charger not a jumper / starter

@@growingplantstimelapse5820 thank you!

Yes this noco is a great battery tender

With a battery this close to dead, you will probably have to have the thing plugged in for 48 hours. But it should power the battery back up so that it can start the car, and you can move it the 100 ft. It's only $30, so that beats buying a new battery for sure.

That's mostly how it's used. I have an older car that during the winter seems to be struggling a bit. I used this charger, clamp the clips right to the battery under the hood, and in 36-48 hours the light turns green and the battery now starts the car with power to spare.

@@Ironfangzu did you run an extension cord out to the car for this device? I would need to run a 50’ extension cord to reach my car. Thx

Yes it can charge your motorcycle battery, most motorcycles, cars, trucks batteries are just 12 volt batteries.

Says made in Vietnam on the box

Absorbant Glass Mat

... 😳.... 😝

No the NOCO 1 battery charger does not have REPAIR functionality.

It is probably a defective battery you may want to de sulfate it. Drain exiting water, refill with clean distilled water and desulfate at least 2 times. Replace the water again. And then try to recharge.

@@DIYGEEKTEXAS it is gel battery.

@@kevinbhar9210 Gel batteries are basically sealed lead-acid batteries. They do not have to be maintained, but that also mean you can not try to replace the gel or water. Basically one damaged you can not fix them yourself.

No not s dead car battery. More like motorcycle, lawn mower etc

The 2 amp noco has what you want

Whos Manuel?

he’s doing an unboxing video
