As a fire investigator, definitely make sure the charger is suitable for lithium. Those batteries can be ticking time bombs if damaged or not charged in a properly managed system. So good call buying a new charger
This seems like a great option compared to other 25amp chargers price wise. Happen to know what the charging profile is for AGM batteries? Odyssey batteries seem picky about receiving a steady 14.4ish v for bulk charging and steady 13.6-7v absorption. For the AGM reconditioning mode does it list how much voltage it runs. Concern is that AGM and voltage higher than 15v is not recommended due to possibly burning off electrolyte fluid.
My charger just arrived today. It's a big bugger. I'm more a visual fella, don't like reading instructions especially when written in another country (know what l mean 😅) Thanks for the vid. Charger looks idiot proof and bullet proof. Ohh l subscribed as well.
Hey mate good video. I noticed that the charging fault light was blinking. Is that normal? I ran down on solar so I plugged into power but the lights and fridge etc wasn’t working. I thought it would. When I plugged in to 240v everything like aircon, microwave etc was good but none of the 12v appliances and my charging fault light was blinking. I’m so confused
Hey Mate, Thanks for the feedback! if its blinking green its charging and should go solid green once full, as long as its not a red light. have you downloaded the KickAss app?
@@GoneTravelingOZ cheers It’s blinking red but there is no error msg I’ve downloaded the app but none of my devices are wireless I’ll call kickass tomorrow to help troubleshoot
i found this in the charger manual. the charger could be faulty i take it you just got it? Er1 - Red LED Flash : Reverse polarity error - During diagnostics stage 1 Er3 - Red LED Slow Blink: Fault code during initial charge step. Battery voltage doesn’t reach a normal condition for charging. - During initial soft start stage 3
I just got one of these the other day. Kickass sold me a 160w solar panel at the same time.
keen to get up to Brisbane at some stage and check out the shop! I'm sure ill buy something.

I like to use the same branded stuff that way i know its going to be in better shape down the track. thanks for watching.
I'm loving that insulated shed, must be hot there.
Love it in the shed in the summer time can get work done and not sweating your guts out

this charger sits at 14.6v when charging haven't seen it go any higher, charger works very well.

Yeah I’m the same hate reading manuals 😂😂 great bit of kit certainly idiot proof that’s for sure
Thanks for watching and the support 🍺🍺🍻
Hey mate, How’s the charger going since you uploaded this ?
Hey mate, yeah still going strong 💪 would definitely get another one all my KickAss stuff hasn’t let me down once, thanks for watching appreciate it
Can u charge it on when the battery is in the box ?
Yeah should be no problem charging the battery when in the box
Does the KickAss app work specifically with the charger OR only the battery?? Cheers
only on the battery and fridge

@@GoneTravelingOZ I’ve been using it for about 5 months with no issue. Maybe it needs a kick in the ass. See what I did there
You brought it did you? Where did you bring it from? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
