if i ride my motorcycle once a week sometimes bwieekly (during winter its iny my garage but its not insulated so gets cold) is it safe to keep it charging while im not riding it? thanks
@@makariussulit Hi, that is a good question. I mainly deal with lithium batteries and Not Acid or Gel batteries. It's not recommended to charge lithium batteries below 32 degrees! You need to know which battery chemistry your bike has and look up the manual, that is your best bet so you don't damage your battery. I hope that helps. The type of battery is usually stated on itself, AGM means Gel, and of course Acid has been around forever. Thanks.
@@ReviewsandTech ok thanks for getting back to me!
So you're just gonna tell people to attach the negative lead first? That's gonna make someone think they can do that when it's installed on a car and cause a short... ALWAYS connect positive first then negative, when disconnecting, disconnect negative first then positive. It says so in the manual which you have literally right in front of you... Come on man...
Im pretty sure this charger wont short your battery... it has safety measures in place for that..
With a smart charger it doesnt matter. Its not like the old school chargers. If you connect them backwards (polarity)it will not even harm anything. If anything you will pop the inline fuse. But that wont even happen
It’s 2A. It’ll be fine. Chill.
Never had a problem connecting negative first….
Hello ! The Noco 2d is designed for " on vehicle" mounting .
The Genius models are best for multi application locations , around the shop / farm, on the workbench....
Cheers
Thank you sir for the very informative video..I bought one today but sometimes certain instructions can be a little confusing, but you explained it very thoroughly. Thanks again..👍
Hi, no problem, I am glad that you found my video helpful here and thanks for watching as well too.
great video! I got all the info I needed on this charger.
Hi there, I am glad that you did, thanks for watching and happy holidays.
Answered all three of my questions. Thank you for the video
@@JoelGrimes-jo5bo Hi, I am glad my video has helped you out. Thank you for watching and your input as well.
Nice spot on the m6 fixing on the clips for attaching to car without clips. I nearly bought a set of extra set of leads. Video helped me😅
Hi, that is great, and thanks for your input as well.
Hi enjoyed the video. Very clear Thankyou . I have just bought this charger. Could you explain the difference between the types of battery it charges. I bought the charger to charge a standard 12v car battery. Thankyou
Hi, yes this charger can charge 12V AGM batteries, 12V Lithium batteries, as well as 6V batteries too. Please read your manual for best practices and follow all safety guidelines, thank you for your support and have a great day, cheers.
Great review, thank you.
Hi, and thank you for the nice words, sorry for the late reply as well.
Thank you.. My car battery is almost dead. Does this product return the battery to a new one..!? Or only makes it work for a simple period of a week or a month
Hi, honestly I am no expert when it comes to batteries, but you can try it to revive a dead battery as it has a built in force mode to charge dead batteries. How long will your battery last after that who knows! I hope that helps and thanks for watching too.
Using battery charger at relatives house. No instructions any where around. You were my instructions. Thanks so much. One question, do you normally disconnect the battery from the machine when you are charging? I would hate to send a high current through the machines circuits if that is what the charger does.
Hi, normally you are suppose to disconnect the charger from the wall first and then disconnect from battery side, I hope that helps. I think this is what you were trying to ask? Thanks for watching glad the video has helped you out.
Thanks, Great video!
Do you know how long it takes to charge a drained 12v battery reading 12.1-12.3volts?
Hi, this is a 2amp charger, as there are other ones they make that charge faster. But if you had a 40 ah battery, it would take about 20 hours to fully charge. So you have to find out how many amp hours your battery is and do the math. Hope that helps.
Good review on the Noco Genius 2, I am confused as to the difference in desulfate modes of the NOCO Genius 5 and 10 with a repair mode option, how does that differ from the Genius 1 and 2 desulfate mode?
Hi, honestly I am not sure myself on that one. It might explain that in the manual though. Best of luck to you.
❤😮❤ I just bought one the store salesperson told me this genius 2 had the desulfation feature can you show how to set the unit into desulfation mode?
What does it mean when it's red with an X not charging? does that mean it's full?
The small red battery with the X is lit up?
Hi, I would assume that it's not charging your battery with a red light. Your battery might be at a very low voltage, you might have to use the force mode charging option, checkout the manual for more info, hope that helps. Thanks for watching as well.
Thank you for your clear explanation.
Hi, I am glad that my video has helped you out. Thanks for your support too.
How does the desulfation work? Is it automatic? Which mode should I use for a 12 volt SEL (Sealed Lead Acid) Battery (regular 12V, or AGM 12V?)? Thank you very much.
@@kanistas Hi, I have not used the desulfation mode. For lead acid batteries, regular 12v setting should be fine as AGM 12v is for GEL batteries from my knowledge. For best results, please refer to the manual. I hope that helps, thanks for watching and your input too.
I didn't realize that it was not portable. So it has to be plugged in to the wall socket in order to charge the car battery?
Hi, well this is considered a compact size charger, and yes it needs to be plugged into the wall to charge your batteries. I hope that helps and thanks for your support too.
I’m confused. The novo videos show that you should plug in and select your mode first then charge, not plug-in last. Also shouldn’t you always connect red first?
Also didn’t you say the battery was a lithium? Why did you not initially use lithium mode?
Hi, I like t to select the type of battery on the charger as soon as I connect it to the battery, I mean we are talking no more than a minute, but of course you can select the mode then connect it to the battery. I don't think it matters if you connect the red one or black one first as I have heard it from mechanics that it really doesn't matter as long as you don't switch them around. Thanks for watching.
You're totally right, don't listen to this guy. Another person on RUclips making videos on subjects they know very little about. This is why people get hurt
Can i use this one for a Sealed Lead Acid battery (12 V 9Ah)
Thank you for any response
Hi, yes you can use on sealed lead acid batteries as well, thanks for watching too.
my battery is 12v DYNAVOLT NANO-GEL (MG12ZS-C) which option should I choose for battery maintenance
Hi, I been using a different charger since then, but I believe this charger has a 12v Gel setting, but please consult the manual for best practices and safety.
I may have purchased the wrong battery? Noco genius 2 was purchased to charge my car battery just in case I’m on the road and not near a plug. ?
Hi, you can only plug this into a wall outlet to charge 6v or 12v batteries, i hope this clarifies things up.
Is it ok to set this thing in engine compartment and is this thing good enough for -45 to -50 degree Celsius.? Please let me know
Hi, yes you can install this in the engine compartment. Here is a statement from NOCO directly on their site. "Avoids under-charging in cold weather down to -4 F and avoids over-charging in hot weather up to 104 F. I hope that helps you out, take care now.
Do you have to plug it to an electrical outlet while it is being charged?
Yes!
How do you know you are in the maintain mode..does it go in maintain mode automatically after fully charged.??
Hi, from my knowledge yes it's fully automatic and goes into maintain mode when battery is charged. Read the manual to be 100% sure, thanks for watching as well.
My AGM battery says it is "low" sometimes, would installing this keep it "higher" even if i never plug it into an outlet?
Hi, This charger will not charge your battery unless you plug it into the wall. Keep in mind that batteries always discharge slowly even if the battery is not in use, and it's worth mentioning that the same company NOCO makes portable power packs that will jump your car if your battery is drained or is low on voltage! I hope that helps you out and thanks for watching too.
Noco also sells battery terminal leads so you don’t have to mount inside the car or tear apart the alligator clamps. Great product and lots of Accesories available
That is good to know, thanks for the info as well, cheers.
Yep I love their accessories, they even make a SAE to X-Connect adapter so you can use other devices like the Battery Tender Wireless Battery Monitor with X-Connect leads, which are by far my favorite leads available because they're nice and flexible and very well built.
Mine came with ring terminals only. That's better because alligator clips always seem to lose conductivity over time, probably due to electrolysis.
If you mount it on board the vehicle, and it stays connected as a maintainer...
How long before you have to plug the chsrger in?
Where does it generate the power to recharge and maintain the vehicle Battery??
Hi, yes this charger can be mounted inside the vehicle engine compartment and can be connected to your battery when ever you think your battery needs a charge. Now you do have to plug into the wall in order to charge your battery, I hope this answers your questions and thanks for watching too.
@@ReviewsandTechis there another way you can plug this in, especially if you don't have access to a wall socket?
@@knightrider3766 Hi, you have to plug into a wall outlet to charge a battery with it, unless you have a lithium power station to plug it into! I hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Hi. Great video Sir. I purchased the
NOCO 1. Then while waiting for it to arrive I did some more research. I Found out that the NOCO 2 was Waterproof. I want to mount it outside, plug it in and keep my AiPower GSX7100iRD
BATTERY CHARGED
so it’s ready for electric and Remote Start. Question do you know if Generator Batteries are 6v? That’s my thoughts, I’m hoping you can confirm. Is that possible? Next thing I have to see is what size is the Eyelets that you unscrew that you mentioned. I would love to unscrew them from alligator clips, mount them permanently to battery. Then I have to see size of terminals on battery.
All the best to you and channel. Mike ienuso 12:05
Hi, honestly I haven't touched any gas generators only lithium power stations so for that I would Google the model number of your unit or look in the manual to see what type of battery it has so you don't end up damaging by accident. Yes, this charger can charge 6v and 12v batteries. I am personally not a fan of alligator clips either, I think using the connectors is much easier especially with these chargers that come with a quick disconnect, although I am not sure what size the ring terminals are, but I did remove the alligator clips with an allen wrench though at a parts store. I hope this helps you out and thanks for the nice words too, best of luck to you sir.
My battery’s possessed. I think this is the exorcist!!! 😂 Thank you, VERY helpful!!! ✅
That is a good one, thanks for sharing too, lol.
great explanation
Hi and thank you so much, I am glad that my video has helped you out.
Take care now
Will this charger work on deep cycle batteries?
Hi, that is a good question, from what I remember it works on Lead acid batteries, AGM batteries and Lithium too. To be 100% sure it works with yours, you can download their manual from online and checkout the specs to be on the safe side. I hope that answers your questions and thanks for your support too.
I actually hooked it up to my deep cycle battery and it charged it like a champ 💪
@@Set_That_Hook That is good to know, thanks for the update.
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo éclairante..
So then you can only charge batteries at home/where you have a wall plug? It’s not like a portable charger to help you on the side of the road?
Hi, that is correct this isn't a rechargeable unit, it needs a power outlet as a source. Thanks for watching too.
If you use this and charge your car overnight, and then the next day your car is dead on the side of the road then maybe you need a booster and a BRAND NEW BATTERYs
Which mode then i should use for my car battery cus there 4 rifht but dont know and how long is the wait
Hi, you need to look on the battery installed on your car to see if it's a lead acid battery or an AGM battery, once you know then choose the right option on the NOCO charger. How long to fully charge your battery will depend on how low your battery is. I hope that helps you out.
Hi again regarding noco genius 2 is it ok to leave my charger on 24 hours a day has my charger got a maintainer .thank u for your time.
Since this is a charger and a maintainer at the same time, I have left mine charging overnight for about 24 hours without issues. Although it's best to consult your manual as it's available to download on their website for best practices. I hope that helps out.
Great vid so it does all batterys at what at 70ah or what ?
Hi, I beleive the manual said it will charge batteries up to 40Amp hours, thanks for the nice words too.
@@ReviewsandTech that's great thanks
@@Cavanpikefishing You are welcome, best of luck to ya too.
Thank you!
Thanks for your support too.
Hi is this charger good for a portable generator battery 12V sealed lead acid 15AH
Hi, yes it supports sealed lead acid batteries up to 40 amp hours. Thanks for watching too.
Great video sir
Hi, thanks a lot for your support.
I had is on my truck all night last night, just set on 12v, it didn’t go passed the 25% bar when I went to check this morning? If I had a lithium battery, does it matter if I just lv it on the 12v setting
Nm, it was a feel like temp of -23 or 23 last night, I see it only works in -20 and below, shit haha
Hi, it's important that you set the type of battery on the charger as soon as you connect it to the battery, whether it's a 6v,12v, Sealed acid, Gel, lithium or such type of chemistry so you don't damage your battery or cause other problems. If your battery isn't taking a proper charge, then I would have it checked at an auto parts store. Best of luck and thanks for watching too.
@@ReviewsandTech I don’t think lving it on 12v should hurt my battery though, I’ll check tonight what type it is, what’s the 12V setting for then?
@@master_vator There are 3 12V settings on this charger, 12 is for Acid batteries, 12v AGM is for Gel batteries, and Lithoum is of course for lithium batteries only. Make sure you know what type of battery you have. You only need to set the battery type once. Hope that helps.
Checkout the manual that it came with to see what temperature its rated for. Best of luck to ya.
Nice video...Anybody have any success charging / maintaining a Large LifePo4 (200ah) Battery's with one of these ??
Hi, I believe the manual said this is limited to a 40ah battery. Thanks for your input too.
How do I know if I have a 12V battery or a 12Vagm battery
Hi, it's usually stated on the top or the side of the battery whether it's an acid, AGM or lithium battery. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.
Good videos great information
Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day too.
Straight forward video on this charger and maintainer. Will be ordering this unit, sub gained.
@@404notfound..... Hi and thank you so much, I am glad it helped you out, take care now.
What else can this charge
What mode should I use for 12V LO 300A (EN) 35Ah?
Hi, what type of battery do you have? Acid, AGM, Lithium?
@@ReviewsandTech that is the info I have about the battery.
@@user-bn7vl3mr6o In your manual, it should state what kind of battery chemistry it's using.
Hi I bought the same noco genius 2 but my battery is properly charged 12.8 volts but it's on one red led bar what you think happen..
Hi, I don't know honestly, refer to the manual to see why that is, best of luck to you too.
That means dead cells
Set to desulfation mode
Why is my red light not pulsing? Please its out of the vehicle, inside on charger 12v mode checked but red not pulsing, it's just red.
Hi, I am not too sure, checkout the manual for more info, best of luck to you.
I bought those charger but still not charge becouse how you explained and what I expected totally different beocuse for me I wanna plug electric socket in my Home and when it is full then keep I'm My car an use what ever i need it but I confused it.
Hi, sorry I don't mean to confuse anyone, you can always ask a local mechanic in your area for advise too if you aren't sure on how to use, wishing you luck and thanks for watching as well.
You were looking for the Noco Boost, which is a back up battery jump starter. This 2D model is best used for keeping your battery charged when sitting for long periods, or during very cold periods which can drain a battery.
I use a Viking emergency jump box from Harbor Freight and has helped me numerous times. It will hold 100% for 3-6 months before having to recharge it.
Hi my motorbike battery is to hard to take out does this charger I'd it if it's lithium I can't read label on battery thank you
Hi, you need to make sure what type of battery you have installed, lead acid, lithium, etc. Find your bikes manual online and see what it says. I wouldn't charge your battery assuming it's lithium because it charges differently! Hope that helps and thanks for stopping by too.
@@ReviewsandTech ok thank you
@@frozenfog9730 no problem.
Whats the difference between the 1a and 2a noco?
Hi, I believe the main differences are the Noco 1 charges at 1amp per hour while the Noco 2 charges at 2amps per hour. Although for best comparisons I would checkout their website, I hope that helps you out.
where can you identified the battery type ?
Hi, that info is usually printed on the battery itself either on the top of the front of the battery. Hope that helps.
for some reason on my Genius2 I had to hold the mode button for like 7 seconds which is Force mode and then all LED's light up and then hit mode again to toggle between the various charging options. The directions don't mention having to do that when you first use the charger. The instructions state to just press the mode button to toggle between charging options, which for mine was only the case after long pressing the mode button. Once I did this the first time, it does remember the mode and then I can toggle it with a single press. But again at first I had to do the 7 second press to get it off standby mode, nothing else would do the trick. Was this how yours behaved?
Hi, no mine worked in standard mode when I first plugged it into my battery, was your battery completely drained before doing so? And yes it does have a memory mode feature, so you don't have to choose type of battery every time. From my knowledge, Force mode is only needed when battery is completely drained or very low on voltage.
That means that the voltage of your battery was too low to detect so you had to use force mode to get it going. Now that you've done this it most likely has a detectable voltage and won't need to be force charged anymore.
Is this charger good for a riding lawn mower?
Hi, I don't know, most likely your battery is either a 6volt or a 12volt battery, check yours out and you will know, I hope that helps, thanks and cheers.
Can I plug this to my car while I go on vacation? Will it keep charging the battery while the battery is connected to the car?
Hi, Yes since this is a charger and a maintainer as well. Thanks for watching
@@ReviewsandTech is it safe? It will not burn?
@@jacksongil9123 I trust this brand as they make many different chargers as well. To be 100% sure it's good plugged in for long periods, make sure you read the manual it comes with to be on the safe side, although charging at 2amps is considered a slow charger. You can probably Google for the manual to be honest and see what it says.
@@ReviewsandTech thank you boss 🙏🏽
@@jacksongil9123 You are welcome.
How long does it take to charge the 12 v battery that is dead.
Hi, I haven't had to charge a dead battery yet, although I use it on lithium batteries and not lead acid batteries, and since this a slow charger it will take longer than faster rapid chargers out there, but this will give you a longer battery life cycle at the sametime. Hope that helps and thanks for watching too.
@@ReviewsandTech the battery shows that is now totally charged after 5 hours of being connected.
Thanks.
That is great, thanks for the update and happy holidays as well, cheers.
my bros go RUclips - are you a good person by Living Waters
How about a12v dc battery ?
Hi, yes you can charge a 12v dc battery as well as 6v batteries, thanks for watching and commenting, cheers.
Nice video.
Keep working!
Thank you so much, cheers.
I mounted my charger right on top of my battery with 3" woodscrews.
Hi, interesting, what is between the battery and charger if you don't me mind me asking?
Should have used 5 inch lags. 3 inches is not enough. So I been told. 😂
Is it normal that my lithium battery only show 25% charge at all time? My car start fine
Is that lithium battery your primary unit or secondary? This charger does support lithium battery as I own some myself.
@@ReviewsandTech it the main battery on my car. It lithium
@@teemo988 I haven't heard of a lithium battery being installed as a main battery in a car. Not sure honestly.
@@ReviewsandTech it a Porsche
@@teemo988 I would ask a mechanic in that case, or if you bought this charger then take a good look at the manual to see what it says in regards to lithium batteries. Best of luck to you.

9 YEARS UN-USED
That's great, thank you for sharing as well.
There's 24 hours per day, a 2 amp charger can potentially produce 48 ah per day.
Don't use the word plug in when you mean connect.
Hi, my charger didn't start off in standby mode but went straight to the first 12v mode, does this mean it's been used before?
Hi, I believe that is normal, just make sure you select the right type of battery weather it's lithium or acid battery, thanks for watching.
Ok thanks for replying, just it states that it will start on standby the first time its switched on, its not a big deal, just when the instructions tells you something and it doesn't happen that way, I've emailed them so I'll await their reply. Happy New Year 🥳
Of course, glad to help, happy New Years to you as well my friend.. stay safe too..
This is the worst charger ever my battery was on fire
Hi, sorry to hear that, what kind of battery was it? Acid or lithium ? I hope everything is ok and I would contact the company to let them know too. Best of luck to you.
Hey Joe !!! Go eat some popcorns'
That would be user error lol
