Thanks for the review. I had to leave the state for 5 months. I didn't have time to troubleshoot a dead battery in my second car. We came back 4 months later to a full dead battery. It was still hooked up a car that had the dome light on for 5 months!!. I started to give up on doing anything with it or replace it. I threw this charger on the battery to see if it does what it advertises. 14 hours later my fully dead batter came back to life!! Thanks Noco and you for a great review!
WOW!! That is a great story and information to have out there about this charger. I have not had the ability to test the repair function and have had so many questions if it actually works or not. I am so glad to hear that it worked for you! That is amazing.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the noco charger and the kind words. Your support is greatly appreciated . Be sure to consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing to the channel if you have not already.
Thank you again,

I bought this charger based on your great review. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Thank you
I would like to appoligize as some how I missed your comment, Thank you so much for reaching out and hope you are still enjoying your purchase. With the winter season hitting mine has been in full use the last few weeks.

I've have a G3500 for 2-3 yrs, Great Charger/Maintainer, also have a GB40 Boost just in case. NOCO makes good products.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the NOCO products. I have been very happy with mine so far and have continued to add their products to my tools.
This was helpful. Our lawnmower wouldn't start and I had purchased this for my car last winter but had never used it. It came too late and I purchased a new battery (it was 5 years old). I wasn't sure of how to hook it up. Worked great and my grass is now cut!
That is awesome to hear! So glad to hear this helped you out. Thank you for sharing your feedback and support. Please consider subscribing and leaving a thumbs up if you have not done so already.

Great review, thank you. Would love to see a demo of how to attach the eyelet cables instead of the alligator clamps & install them such that you can use the quick disconnect feature & not have to open & close the hood every time you want to drive.
Thank you so much for the kind words and suggestion. You are right I should have included that in this initial set up review. I will try to get video filmed showing that feature and how to set it up that way very soon. Be sure to stay tuned!
Finally a comprehensive review. Thank you!
Thank you for reaching out, greatly appreciate your feedback and support to the channel. Lots more to come as were headed into car season!
These things are kickass.. I got the Genius 10 amp and the GB70.. They do just what they claim....
Thanks for your comment! I totally agree so far I absolutely love mine! Some of the best charges out there.

Running them exotic Costco batteries in his special ride.
Sadly only in the SLK 230.. I wish they had them in the right size group for the other vehicles I have. They are the best batteries I have ever used at a very affordable rate with some of the best warranties. Cant go wrong with the ol exotic Kirkland brand LOL.
Be sure top leave a thumbs up and consider subscribing, I greatly appreciate the support.

I thought the packaging was annoying AF! with three boxes. However, I like its compactness and its ability to restore my red top optima battery. Seems to be doing pretty well with that.
Thank you for reaching out, and hope you enjoyed the episode, and if so please leave a thumbs up and consider subscribing to he channel if you haven't already. Your support goes a long way.
haha I can relate for sure on the packaging, it was a bit confusing getting into it! Not the easiest. I am glad you are enjoying the product, I have been having great luck with mine as well so far.

Good Review, I have a newer 12V battery that has been sitting in the vehicle for a few months. When I hooked up the red clip to the positive terminal and the black clip to a grounded frame part on the Genius 5. The ON LED turned on however, the 12V LED started flashing.
Then I moved the black negative clip to the negative post and the flashing stopped and the 25% charge LED came on. So now it's charging.
The old-style chargers would charge with the negative clip on a grounded vehicle's metal part away from the battery.
There could be a problem if the negative clip sparks with battery gases unless it is designed not to, otherwise imagine we may have to watch for recalls. I run an extension to the charger and plug and unplug at a distance for a little more safety.
Hello, Thank you for the kind word I greatly appreciate it. Be sure to give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to the channel if you are not already. I greatly appreciate your support to the channel to help us bring better content and grow.
You are right the charger does only seem to be "Happy" when the negative is also connected to the battery terminal. I think this may have to do with the automatic detection of sulfation build up and repair of batteries. (But this is just a guess)
Regarding any spark issues I know I was a bit concerned also as I always use to have an older style trickle charger where if you hit the clips together or even connecting to the battery you would get a spark.
With the noco chargers they are integrated with spark proof feature where you do not need to worry about there creating a spark. This is what they are advertising and I have yet to see a spark occur even when connecting the terminal clips together. I do not believe you need to be worried about this considering the feature it has but the method you are using certainly wont hurt anything either. Thank you again for reaching out and hope all goes well!

The light come on. Because the charger has a temp sensor in it...It needs to be connected to the battery for that function to work..This how it charges the battery and recovers a bad one. It charges based on the temp of the battery...
What about this "Repair Mode" feature???
How does that work???
I like your review very much as it went thru all functions and charging stages. Thanks!

I bought this same unit less than a year ago and now it stopped working. Manufacturer warranty is 3 years. I reached out Noco tech support. Hopefully they honor warranty. I bought it in 2020 Black Friday. This year the unit is on sale but still 69$. Fortunately I had another battery tender from another brand and it’s still working after a year.
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience. I'm sorry to hear you havent had great luck with your charger.
That being said I would be shocked if they give you any trouble on the warranty. But please report back on how it goes.
I have not had to deal with any warranty claims through noco but have heard pretty good stories from people who have.

What size amp extension cord do you connect to this charger?
Unfortunately I bought one of these last week, installed it into my f250 diesel with dual batteries, left it on all week, exactly one week later went out to my truck, tried to crank it, completely dead. Not even enough current left in the batteries for the horn to honk. 400 dollars later, replaced both batteries. Not sure if I wanna keep this thing plugged in again, or junk it. Not much of a maintainer, atleast not for my scenario.
I appreciate you reaching out... I have to admit I am a bit stumped on that one. Did the charger indicator light ever move off flashing red? The only thing I could think is you may have a defective charger / a massive parasitic draw or one o both batteries were shot to begin with.. I am sorry to hear the trouble you had.
Hopefully you have been having better luck with the new batteries.

I'm having problems with mine. I have to press and hold to get it to light up the modes and then it ends up being in force mode. It chase for 5 minutes and then goes back to standby. I'm so frustrated.
I appreciate you reaching out with your experience and sorry to hear the issues you are having. I have had good luck with mine over the years but have had many people mention of different issues. Seems to be more people having issues. I would highly suggest reaching out to NOCO support to see what they can do for you and hopefully will be able to replace the unit for anew one if there is a problem with it.
I wish I could be more help but greatly appreciate hearing your experience as I will be making a new episode on these and will be mentioning the different issues viewers have experience. I hope you found the episode helpful and please consider subscribing. Your support is greatly appreciated and please keep me updated the outcome.

Great Vid , can you explain when to use the 3 second hold as opposed to the 1 second hold of the button . tia.
Well done. Like your content, tasteful choice of music and volume. You should do a youtube training video.
Thank you very much for the feedback, I am glad you enjoyed! This kind of feedback helps to keep the channel producing great content and I am glad someone noticed the volume and music portion.
I have never considered doing any RUclips training videos but now will be something I certainly consider doing in the future.
Thanks again for your support and hope to continue bringing the best content your way!

Prob dumb question...Can this be used to just jump a weak battery, or it's used to plug and actually charge the car battery?
Great video! thanks
Thank you for reaching out and not a dumb question at all! I appreciate the kind words also and appreciate your support. Be sure to leave a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't already.
To answer your question sadly these units do not have the ability to jump start only plugbin to slowly and safely charge your car battery. If you are in the market for a booster pack vs a charger/maintainer noco also sells that style. I am in the testing now of one of those models and will be posting an episode very soon, so be sure to stay tuned!
If you have any other questions be sure to let me know and I will try to help any way I can.

What about repair mode?
im having trouble deciding if my battery is standard, agm or lithium my battery kind of looks like the one in this vid is there another way knowing wich is wich?
Thanks for checking out the video, If you enjoyed be sure to hit the like button and consider subscribing so you don't miss out on any future content!
Regarding your battery it should state what type it is on the label. If you are having trouble finding anything that shows type you could search the model (if it says) and should be able to pin point the type that way.
If you want send me a couple pictures of the battery and labels on it to fullthrottle.bhp@gmail.com and I can also try to assist further.
I looked up my interstate battery by part # and got an exact description. Non-AGM is the most common as mine was.
Bought this charger yesterday,still can't operate it.Been charging it the last 24hrs and its still on the orange mode.Unplugged it,hit the power button,didn't come on.I might be returning it today.
Good video, thanks for the information.
A question, what happens if I charge a 200ah battery with the Noco 5 (battery capacity 120ah)?
Does it just take longer to load? or does it not charge completely? Thanks
@@albertoste I appreciate the feedback, you can still charge a larger battery it will take much longer. Based off a 200ah battery with the noco 5 can expect roughly 80hours to charge from a "dead" battery state.
Please consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing if you have not done so already. If you have any other questions be sure to let me know!

Question: With the quick release feature do you still leave the clamps in place when you close the hood and drive the car? Don't laugh, I am a widow trying to do the repairs my husband would have done. Just bought the same exact model as you have for $69 on Amazon and got it to my home in less than 24 hrs. It is pretty easy to use, thank God.
I believe you have an option of attaching the eyelet cables to the battery instead of the clamps. Run it out thru grill for quick attach/release. Might need a zip tie or two to fasten cable from battery out to grill.
I am so sorry for the late reply some how I missed your comment. For the safest option and convince of the quick disconnect feature would be to use the included eyelet connecters on the noco Genius charger. You can still use the quick disconnect with the clamps but you run the risk next time connecting the quick disconnect that the clamps may have come off or moved. The eyelet connectors are more secure for long term use. Please see this new episode going into full detail of this feature and how to use it.

In this video, you picked the first choice 12V, but what will happen if you select the 12V AGM mode (the second choice) for your battery in this video? I really want to know, thanks.
Thanks for reaching out and hope you enjoyed the episode.
That is a great question. So these chargers have built in specific modes for the style of battery you may be trying to charge/maintain.
These modes are designed for the most optimal charge sequence for each individual battery type. I selected the standard 12V mode in the video as I was charging a normal 12V battery. If you say select the 12V AGM charge cycle it will provide a charging pattern as if it was a AGM battery. This could cause significant damage to your battery and may result in lowering the life of the battery.
This is why it is very important to use the correct setting for your specific battery and also to use a well designed and reliable charger to charge those sensitive batteries like AGM and Lithium.
I hope this helps answer your question and always feel free to reach out with any other concerns or comments. I thank you for your support and please consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing if you have not already.

Hi, I'm a 78 year old female and your video sold me this product. I noticed that you plugged the charger into the wall. My car sits outside 12 months a year. Must I plug it into the wall and charge my battery at the same time? There are no walls around my car. What do I do?
Sorry for the delay! Just seeing your comment now. This charger does require a constant 120v (wall outlet/plug) to charge your vehicles battery. If you do not have a wall with in the cord length of the charger you may have to run an extension cord to the closet outlet.
Connect the charger to battery
Plug extension cord in
Plug the charger into the extension cord
Select the mode for type of battery you have
And then sit back and let it do all the work.
If you have any other questions please let me know. I will try to help anyway I can. Please consider hitting the subscribe button as well if you haven't already.
Thank you,

do you have to choose mode to use or if the battery is 12v then it picks it up automatically?
Thanks for reaching out and I hope you enjoyed the episode! Be sure to it that like button and subscribe if you are not currently.
Once you connect it to the battery and plug the unit into the wall outlet you will have to choose the mode by pressing the mode button until the desired battery type is selected. Example standard 12v / AGM / lithium or 6v. Once you choose the mode next time you use the charger it should remember and revert back to the last setting. So if you are always charging the same type of battery you shouldn't have to keep selecting the mode.
I would suggest to always confirm the selected mode before leaving the battery to charge.
I'd you have any other questions be sure to let me know. Your support is greatly appreciated 🙏

@@FullThrottleBHP thank you I will test,
Hi great review but I have question. I’m using this to do maintenance charges on my 12v agm battery. The instructions state that at full charge the light will stay solid green but I haven’t seen that as it only pulses green. Is my charge 100% when the light pulses green or do I need to charge it til it goes solid which I haven’t seen yet? Thanks again
Thanks for reaching out! I hope you enjoyed the episode and ask for you to consider to subscribing and leaving a thumbs up if you havent already.
I have been using mine for the same purpose over the winter months. I have encountered the same pulsating light and never actually going solid green.
From my testing with q volt meter the battery in my case was at full rating while the light stayed flashing. I have been meaning to reach out to noco to confirm this.
If you have access to a volt meter you can check quickly to see where the battery is reading if you want to be sure.
I had the same. In case of 12v Kymco motorcycle small battery not AGM but gel, it was solid green after few hours. In case of Toyota RAV4 45Ah 12v AGM two times after 7h and 12h green light was still in pulse. I'm confused whever my battery is not in good shape or Noco5 is working properly.
@@olekpokorski9955 what I learned from mine was that the Noco does turn solid green the moment it fully charges but then goes into trickle charge mode which then causes it the green light to blink slowly and will continue do so until you take it off. Best way to know is hooking up a volt meter to see where the batteries at.
For your agm battery the first 2 times you charge it takes a while to get the full charge as my 12v agm took roughly 15hrs but now takes about 8-10hrs.
With all this said yes you won’t see the green light “solid” unless you’re literally sitting there watching your battery charge.
I have a 2017 Camaro RS. Can I hook this up to the leads under the hood instead of the battery?
Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate the support and if you found the episode helpful please consider subscribing and leavings thumbs up if you haven't already.
Regarding mounting the charger there should be no issues connecting it to the terminal leads under the hood. I have done this on my vehicles in the past with no problems. If there is any issues the nice thing with the noco chargers is they will notify you by the indicator lights if there is an issue and would cut any power.
Although it is recommend to be connected directly to the terminal of the battery these remote terminals would also work in most cases.
Thanks you again for reaching out and your support to the channel, if you have any other questions be sure to let me know!
Until Next Time... Keep er at Full Throttle ;) !
Hello I don’t have error but my battery charge stay at the first red light why ? Since 4/ hours
Hello, Thank you for reaching out. I hope you enjoyed the video and I greatly appreciate your support. Be sure to consider leaving a thumbs up on the video and subscribing to the channel.
Is the battery your trying to charge fully dead? A full size car battery (80Amps) will take roughly 12 hours to fully charge with a genius 5 charger. If you are not getting any error lights the charger should be working.
How long have you left it on for? Did you leave it longer the the 4 hours?
If you are still having trouble with further led indicator lights coming on I would highly recommend you to reach out to Noco Support staff. They are very good and would be able to assist you much further in the event the unit may be defected.
Noco Support (no.co/support)
Keep me updated on how it all works out.
Thanks again for your support to the channel.

What do you recommend for a portable battery charger? (The type that you don't actually have to have plugged into an electrical outlet in order to work - so you could use it somewhere if an electrical outlet was not available)
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out! I hope you enjoyed the episode and please consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing to the channel if you haven't already.
That is a great question and I am glad you asked. At this point in time I don't currently own or have much experience with a battery booster/jumper unit. That being said it has been on my radar to test one out on the channel and it is actually another Noco product. I have been extremely happy with the Noco Genius 5 battery maintainer and have been eyeing their line of boosters.
Now as I said I have no experience with them yet but I feel confident that you wouldnt be let down witht here products. Stay tuned for an episode testing out one of there units soon!
In the meantime if you do need to purchase one check out the link below to one of the Noco units. They are a decent price for the specs, but there are many other great boosters out there. Biggest thing to keep in mind is make sure it is powerful enough for your application. (motor size) and look into any reviews to be sure it is a product that will hold up and deliver the power you need.
This charger also doubles as a pwoer bar that can recharge your devices like cellphone/ headphones /cameras plus a flashlight.

@@FullThrottleBHP Oh please do review the booster kits! I'm not at all mechanically minded and really enjoyed this review!! But I need something that doesn't require an extension cord (here in the UK, the extension cord can't run from my house to the pavement/street all night 😁). Thank you for such excellent videos 💐
Thanks for the updated information...!!!
What does it mean when you hook it up, choose the voltage and the lights cycle 1,2,3,4 repeatedly for a few minutes then it returns to stand-by mode? This works on my GMC Sierra like its supposed to but it does what I described when I hook it up to my wife's 2019 Porsche Cayenne.
Hi the video is superb. My car battery is showing aaa lead acid battery. Can you please tell me which mode I should keep for charging.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out, I am glad you enjoyed the episode and thank you for subscribing. Your support is much appreciated.
If you have a lead acid battery you would use the standard 12v mode (First mode) to charge your battery.
If you have any other questions be sure to let me know.

What lights up to indicate force mode?
Also, my charger became very hot after a night connected? Registered on bottom of charger at 70 degrees Celsius. What shows standby mode?
I apologize on the delay. I want to start by thanking you for the support and hope you enjoyed the episode.
As seen through out the video there are a few screens that popped up showing you the different lights and the meaning behind them. When activating force mode all the "mode" led's will flash then the single mode selected will stay lit.
It is very common for the charger to get hot. Be sure when using it is not left on insulation or carpet material. Leave it somewhere that will be able to handle the heat but also leave the charge free for air flow when possible. The charge has a built in safety for temperature as well.
Standby light will be the orange "Power" Symbol which is found furthest to the right of the warning lights.
I hope this answers your questions if you have anything else dont hesitate to reach out. Also for your refference it may come in handy here is a link to the noco site listing all the details of the noco genius 5. no.co/genius5
Thank you

Thanks but I was hoping for details on the repair function. :/
Hello,
I'm sorry I wasnt able to provide that information in this video. There is still plans to try to film a dedicated episode on the repair mode. There is very little information and did not want to promote a feature that I was unable to test or confirm if it actually works.
Be sure to let me know if their is anything specific you would like to know and I will be sure to try and include it in that episode.
Thanks again for your feedback and be sure to consider subscribing so you dont miss out on any future content.

Thanks for the video. I know Noco is quality but I wonder why they never include a screen. I was about to buy this Noco 5 charger but I really dislike black box with no screens and one single button and a few color LEDs. We are in the age of screens. I really want to know what the charger is doing. I need voltage and amperage. This black box tells nothing. One single button with 3 seconds or 5 seconds or so it's so confusing
Excellent video, very informative.

What about the 12 v repair mode?
Thanks for reaching out... Sadly I have been still trying to get more info from Noco regarding this feature and doing some testing. There is limited information from noco about this feature and other then mentioning the feature I currently have no proper information of the process or results of it actually working... I hope in the near future I can provide this information as so many are interested in it including my self!

Question, when should you use "12v Repair mode"?
I'm year old to this video, do you have to remove the battery from the car to keep it charged. My negative on my Ford Edge is tucked so far in I can't get good contact for the clamp!!!
Thanks for reaching out! I hope you enjoyed the episode and be sure to leave a thumps up and hit the subscribe button.
Regarding your question you can leave the battery installed to keep charged or remove if needed. With the negative you cam clamp to Amy good ground source like a unpainted bolt/bracket if needed. The charger will tell you if you have a proper connection.
If I miss understood your question or have any other questions for me just let me know! I hope this helps and thank you for your support!

@@FullThrottleBHP thanks for the response, i was not expecting a response so quick.
Hi, great video, just bought the Genius5, I've had the Noco GB40 for a while. Could you tell me what to do when the battery is fully charged with regards to what order things are removed ( i.e. wall socket, positive terminal and negative terminal). I ask as when connecting up (after watching your and a few other vids) it is very important to connect things in the right order i.e. positive and then the negative terminal as you showed and then wall socket. Many Thanks 😀
Thanks for reaching out, I am glad you found the episode helpful and enjoyed it. You are right it is important for safety to connect in a certain order. For removal I always recoment to unplug the unit first then negative terminal and then positive.
Noco has built I'm safety features to reduce/illinated possible hazards if not unplugged first but always good practice to follow those steps.

If you are out in the boonies will this unit jump start the vehicle without plugging it into an electrical outlet?
Hello, Sorry for the delay in reply. Sadly this unit is not for the example you provided above. This unit requires a 110V house hold plug/socket to work and it charges batteries at a slow pace to prevent damage and maintain them for long periods of non use.
You would need a battery booster/jumper unit. There are many versions out there that would do what you are looking for and Noco actually offers a few as well. You can check out the links below for some options. I have not tested or currently own any battery booster/jumpers at this time but I am planning on buying one of the Noco boosters to test on the channel.
Keep in mind when you buy one of these to consider what you will be using it on. As the size required will be different if you are looking to boots a small 4cylinder gas engine(car) VS a vehicle with a bigger V8 engine. If you have any other questions be sure to let me know and hopefully this helps! Please also consider leavings thumb's up for the episode and subscribing to the channel if you haven't already!

Do you have to disconnect battery from car to charge it
Thanks for reaching out, and I hope you enjoyed the episode. Please consider subscribing and leaving a like if you haven't already. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Regarding your question: you can leave the battery fully connected to the vehicle during charging. There is no need to disconnect. I actually mainly use these as battery maintainers while the vehicle is in winter storage. This way the vehicles computer still gets the required power and the battery stays healthy over those long periods of non use.
That being said you can also unhook the battery and or remove if preferred. You have both options available.
Hope this helps and if you have any other questions be sure to reach out.
Thanks again for your support and hope to see you on the next one 🍻

Thanks for the video. I have a question: if i have a dead battery in my work can i use it to turn on my car? I need electricity to do it. Sorry
In order for a charge does the battery have to be out of the car ?
Thank you for reaching out! I hope enjoyed the episode and please co sidereal leaving a thumbs up and subscribing to the channel. Your support is greatly appreciated.
To charge a fully dead(very low) battery you do not have to remove the battery. If you wnated you could disconnect the terminals to reduce power draw but not needed. You can also use this as a battery maintainer if your vehicle is sitting for long periods leave it plugged in and connected to the battery and it will always keep your battery at full charge and optimal health.
If you have any other questions be sure to reach out. Thank you again for your support!

My car is completely dead. Has been sitting in my garage for a few months. When I hook it up to my battery it makes a loud beeping noise. Is that supposed to happen? I have a Lexus is250. Thanks
Very sorry I some how missed your message. Hopefully you have already resolved the issue.
If not I will try to help!
Are you saying that the battery charger is making a beeping noise? or the vehicle is making the beeping noise?

I just got a Genius 10 and have tried 2 batteries and it goes from 1 red LED to Green in about a minute for both batteries. I am sure batteries are not full as one was in car that have not been used in a week. Also the LED pulses but never turn off or blink like the manual says. Is something wrong with my charger? Thinking about returning it.
Thank you for reaching out, I hope you enjoyed the episode and do ask for you to consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing if you haven't already. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Regarding your new purchase I am sorry to hear you may be having some trouble. I have some batteries do the same thing to me and I question if they are really fully charged or not. The only real way to know for sure is to use a volt meter to check what the battery voltage is reading. On my battery for winter months the charger is pluged in more then it is not and sits at the pulsating green indicator. This is showing maintenance mode and will either be optimizing the battery or will be on standby almost if the battery voltage drops it will be ready to charge it back up.
If you have a volt meter around I would highly recommend to check the voltage of the batteries while disconnected from the charger and see what they are reading. This will be the best and quickest way to know if the charger is working properly or not. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions be sure to let me know! Also noco has a great technical support as well if you have any further issues or would like to run your problem by them they may have more answers then my self. You can reach them at "no.co/support"
Thank you again for your support and hope things work out for you as they truly are a great charger. Until next time... Keep er at Full Throttle ;) !
hey Quick question, Any precautions or tips for when the clips are short circuited for about 2-5 secs. I am interested in using this equipment in a beekeeping process of fastening wax foundation sheets on wires in the hive frame. This involves shorting the equipment so it heats up the frame wires enough so it causes the wax to melt and get attached to the wires.
Do you have to plug in the charger for it to work?
Thanks for reaching out! I hope you enjoyed the episode and please consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing if you haven't already. It is conepletly free to do and goes a long way in supporting the channel.
This charger does require a 120V (110) plug in to be able to charge your battery. You can use an extension cord if needed.
If you have any other questions be sure to let me know. Thank you again for your support

Lot of mixed reviews on this. I had a dead battery from my car sitting idle for a month battery was new. I did a full charge started it up but battery light flickered did repair mode started car battery light still flickered. Hey the car starts though maybe i have a short circuit somewhere or a loose post clamp who knows. One more thing i like to mention is this product advertises it can use force mode to forcibly charge a totally dead battery even if the voltage is so low the Noco cant detect it for me this was a lie when i attached the noco to my totally dead battery it kept cycling to stand buy and charge over and over after 2 hours the battery still was dead with 0 charge and i had to use a jumper just to get the battery up enough to were the Noco finally did see it and start charging it so force mode was useless. My main purpose for buying this was so i did not have to constantly drive my car just to keep the battery up in that respect the noco does what its suppose to which is maintain the battery on its own some might argue i just have a bad battery however i got it tested by a professional before i left so it was new and in perfect working order and when i put the jumper on it which had plenty of power the car started with no battery light flicker its when i used Noco 5 i noticed the battery light flicker some say using the noco 5 actually reduces your battery's capacity to hold a charge every single time u use it AND its highly recommended that when using repair mode to detach the battery from the car or there's a chance you could mess up electrical system all things i learned after the fact.
I am really sorry to hear about your troubles. My initial report of the product and features as shown above were very good. I have been using the charger since the video has been up with no problems. That being said its use has just been maintaining batteries.
When you say the battery light is flickering. I am guessing you are talking the one on the car is throwing you a light? What kind of car is it? Some new cars (if thats what your talking about) are very sensitive to there battery voltage and the health of the battery. If it set dead for a long time even if it was a new battery is certainly going to take a hit on its life span.
Be sure to stay tuned as there will be another video coming soon testing the so called "repair" mode. That is why i did not get into at all in this video as I never had the chance to actually test it out or see what it can do. I am skeptical my self how much of a "rapair" it can actually do. You are also right it is very important to disconnect the battery if you are using "repair" mode. As it may cause damage to the electrical components.
Regarding the force mode I know it is a bit finicky to actually get it to activate but I didnt have any issues with mine. Have you reached out to Noco them selves regarding any of the issues you have been having? They may be able to further assist you .
I know with standard chargers if left hooked up to a battery for long periods of time will do damage to a battery as it can over charge it. With these noco chargers and some others can detect and will shut off when not in need. I know many people who connect there cars every time they pull in the garage and leave it connected alll winter when they are in storage. But yes with some chargers you would not want to do this as it will over charge the battery and severely shorten its life span.
I wish you the best with your battery and charger and hope you can get it resolved. Thanks again for your feedback.

I just bought this Noco Genius 5, hope I don't get the same issue as yours... Did you pressed the button for 7 seconds to get it into force mode??
I found out that the reason for the battery light flicker was indeed a loose post clamp that also needed to be cleaned after i did that no more flicker of the battery light. When it comes to force mode i stand by my original comment its useless. I would sit there by a dead battery and do the steps to use force mode and yet again the noco would cycle between stand buy and charge just flashing. I would leave it like that for 2 hours thinking its trickle charging the battery but force mode ultimately was just a wash for me if it worked for others well good for u. I do like the noco 5 its main purpose is not to jump start battery's but to maintain them safely in that respect it does a great job.
@@westbay5858 sorry I haven't used the Force Mode. According to the user guide, once you enter the Force Mode and select the charge mode the Charge mode LED and the Charge LED will alternate between each other for 5 minutes. What is the voltage of your battery?
Will it disulfonate calcium batteries, and do you think that it's charging voltage of 14.5 volts, is high enough to charge calcium batteries, as I have read that at least 14.8 volts is needed to charge them. Thanks
From my understanding the charger should be fine to use with your calcium battery. According to Noco website it lists to use the 12V mode for regular charging/maintenance for calcium batteries. If you want to be sure I would recommend reaching out to there tech support as they are extremely helpful and will be able to give you a definite answer.
Regarding the sulfation build up and repair mode I am not 100% sure of the effective rate at the moment. I am working on conducting a test with a few different batteries to see if and how well will it "repair" batteries. Be sure to stay tuned for an updated video with this information and results. ALSO if you are using the 12V repair mode be sure to not have the battery connected to the vehicle.
I hope this is helpful and thank you again for your support and comments to the channel.

@@FullThrottleBHP Thanks for your reply. The time and effort you put into your channel is greatly appreciated,.
I hooked up my charger and all lights flash. The mode button does nothing. I unplugged from the wall, left clamps on the battery . All lights keep flashing
Hey, thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear your having some troubles. With the battery u hooked from the charger and the charger plugged in is there any lights on at all?
Normally when I hook mine up they all flash for a brief ment then they go to one light solid and you can switch through the modes. Sounds like yours may be staying flashing.
Depending what it's doing you may have to reach out to Noco support. They should be able to resolve the issue by either fixing it or sending you a new one.

When I hook the charger to the battery and plug it in all 12 lights blink. When I unplug and leave the clips on the battery, all lights bling.

@@jamesparker7813 That is great news! Very happy to hear they sorted it out for you with out any trouble!!
Can connect to negative of ram promaster where to connect to positive using the eyelids ready to buy from amazon
You have to options. You can secure to the post under the hood, there should be a small black cover over the positive terminal towards the right side of the engine bay. 2nd option would be to run a wire through the firewall and connect it directly to the battery terminal connectors.
If you believe you will be going with the 2nd option you may want to purchase the extended harness separately.

As long as you have it in AGM mode selected. You will be able to leave it connected to the battery and have it maintain it with out fear of overcharge. That is what I do with mine and have had good luck to this point.

This is a great video with useful information & tips, I plan to get one of this for my car parking on driveway, just wonder if the unit works with extension cord? And if it's OK to keep charging outdoor? Really appreciated if you ever know about it. Thanks again.
Im using an extension cord and its perfect. The device is IP65 rated so it is water resistant. You can use it between -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F). So as long as you keep it dry and within those temperatures its good!
@@kyenychyk3271 thanks for your detail answer, this really help me out, really appreciated.
@@vile4343 I apologize on the delay but Kye has stepped up with an excellent answer. They are 100% correct and if you follow his recommendations you wont have any issues. I have also used mine with an extension cord and out side before with no issues. Above many other charges on the market the Noco genius has a temperature sensor which will help not over or undercharge your battery due to temperature change.. (out side in the winter warm through the day to drop at night for example) Nice extra protection for peace of mind.

@@FullThrottleBHP Sorry to ask a stupid question (I need this for my little Toyota Yaris, as I only drive it every two weeks or so) - but if you can leave it plugged into the car and do quick disconnect, how do you use an extension cord?
I don't have a garage so will have to find how to run a lead from my house/sockets to this charger on the car, and can't leave it in the street overnight 🤷🏽♀️
Hi, I have bit of a problem. The salesperson who sold me this told me there is an internal battery in the noco 5. After buying it and taking it home,that seems to be false. I live in an multi level apartment with car ports with no outlets and not a garage. My outlets are multilevels up and my car is on the street level. Obviously, this brings in a huge challenge. Does this charger have an internal battery? Are there car battery chargers with an internal battery, So you can take on the road and have ready incase the battery goes dead in the middle of nowhere or is that not a thing? Is my only other choice if I want to use this is to get a really long extension cable, which I am sure my neighbors won't like?
Hello, thanks for reaching out! I'm so sorry to hear of the problems you have encountered. I do not know who sold you this but you are correct. There is no battery in this device. It is designed to plug in to maintain or recharge a battery using 120V outlet.
In your case from the sounds of it you would be after a battery booster pack. These are designed to hold a charge that you can either keep with you or bring which will be able to "boost" your car battery in the event of it dieing and wont start due to low battery volatage. Normally used in emerganecies and something you wouldnt be using all the time.
There are many options of these depending on the size of the battery you are going to be using it for and the size of the motor.
If you want I can suggest a few options.

Hi, do I have to remove the ring clamps of the car battery before attach these two clamps?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I hope you enjoyed the episode, and if yu found it helpful be sure to hit the thumbs up and consider subscribing if you havent already.
If you are only charging the battery you are perfectly fine to leave it connected to the vehicle and just had the alligator clamps or the eyelet ones from the charger.
The only time if it is needed to disconnect the battery from the vehicle is if you are going to use the dedicated repair mode. It is recommended to full disconnect the battery if this mode is being used. Other wise you can leave it connected.

Does the battery have to be unhooked from the car to use this charger..??
Thanks for reaching out, I hope you enjoyed the episode and if so please consider subscribing and leaving a thumbs up if you haven't already.
Regarding your question; no the battery does not need to be disconnected from the car to use the charger. Although it is highly recommended to not start the car or have the key turned in the ignition with it connected to the battery. So as long as the vehicle is off it is coneetly safe to have the charger connected.

Thank you for the review. I have a question as I am not very electrically minded ...
I have a S685L Platinum Leisure Battery 12V 75Ah which I use for electric fencing. I have bought the NOCO Genius5UK. But the manual is basically non existant. Can I use this to charge the above battery? It did say so in the technical details on Amazon. And am I doing this on the ordinary 12V mode? The plan was to charge and maintain the battery every three weeks or so over night ....

Hello, thanks for the information ♥ ️ I have a question. I want to revive the 3-year-old battery, but it is good, what do you recommend NOCO 10a or NOCO 25 a or the name of a charger or device that restores the battery life ❌ 👍 Thank you ♥ ️
Hello! Sorry for the delay I missed your comment. I want to thank you for reaching out.
Either of those chargers in theory will do what you are looking for. I will state I have no experience with the repair mode or how well it will actually work. The science behind it makes sense of the process but have not been able to conclude an answer to if it actually works or not. They do not guarantee it to work on all batteries as it would depend on how bad it it.
In the video you see the noco 5 the 10 and 25 are both great charges. Effectively the same idea but larger with higher capability. The 10 will charge a battery from dead on half the time the noco 5 will.
If you are looking for quicker charger and have the extra budget I would recomend the noco 10 or higher. If you are mainly looking for a maintainer just to keep batteries up to charge and using the recovery/repair mode the noco 5 should do the trick at a much lower price.
I hope you enjoyed the episode. I greatly appreciate your support and ask you to consider hitting the thumbs up and consider subscribing if you havent already. Greatly helps the channel bring bigger and better things.

Do I need to keep it plugged in while charging? My car is parked at a parking lot where there is no outlets.
The battery charger itself is required to be plugged in to charge the battery.
If your battery is dead then you have a couple options. Either need to remove the battery and bring it somewhere that has an outlet that you can allow the battery to sit and charge. or
Your other option would be to get a boost from another vehicle using booster cables or purchase a booster pack like this one which would allow you to boost a vehicle with out having a power source. (also has many other features like flash light, usb charging, and more)
amzn.to/3947EmE
If you are just looking for a way to maintain your battery there isnt a whole lot of options as you would need an outlet. If it will be sitting for a long period of time you could remove the battery.
Brilliant video thank you
Can you charge the battery while still in the vehicle and still connected to the car ?
Many thanks
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Yes you can definitely hook up the charger to the battery if it is still connected to the car. It will do no harm and if you have the ability to do this is actually better because your car will not loose certain settings by having to disconnect the battery. The charger/maintainer will function the same way.
You can either use the "alligator" style clips or remove them and connect the eyelit cables directly to the battery and use the quick disconnect feature on the unit to just unplug and plug in the battery when necessary. (This is a great feature if your battery is located in the trunk or in an area that is not as easy to access then you can tuck wiring to an easy spot to reach. Check out the 4:00 minute mark of the video above I explain this feature. (ruclips.net/video/VgxYT_iS-y4/видео.html)

@@AndyC2_ .. Regular charging you can still have the car connected. However, if you are going to run the recondition mode, you should disconnect the battery from the car and do it outside the car. The recondition voltage is a higher voltage (i think varying up to 17V) and you don't want to damage your cars electronics.

Hello, what does that mean when the repair mode led is lightning ?
Thank you for reaching out! I hope you enjoyed the video and be sure to consider subscribing and hitting that like button if you havent already.
When the "repair" mode led is lit. This means the charger is in the repair mode. (This should only be used on standard 12v batteries and have it removed or disconnected from the vehicle)
This mode is claimed to be able to restore the life of older batteries that have been subject to sulfate damage. Or when a battery sits at a low voltage for a long period of time. When this happens it lowers the actual battery compacity, although it may read fully charged you wont have the full power you should.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery first. Then use this mode to restore the battery. Once activated the charger should return back to standby when the process is finished.
In theory it will repair/restore the capacity in the battery. As advertised. It also mentions not all batteries may be able to be restored back to original.
I hope this helps, if you have any other questions be sure to reach out. Thank you again for your support to the channel as it is greatly appreciated.

⛔ Hello, I have a 75 ampere battery, what is the appropriate charger for 5 ampere or 10 ampere, and is the maintenance feature effective (3 year old battery) Thank you ♥
Hello, Thank you very much for reaching out. I hope you enjoyed the episode and be sure to like and subscribe if you havent already.
To fully charge that size battery from dead would be approximately 12 hours with the Genius 5 and about 6 hours with the Genius 10. These times will be much less dependent on the current voltage of the battery when connected. The charger will display l.e.d bars to indicate the percent charge.
In theory the repair mode is suppose to rejuvenate older batteries to allow accurate and full charges to the battery. I have not been able to confirm how well or if at all this feature actually works. In theory it makes sense but havent seen any real tests showing results yet.
I hope this answers your questions. If I missed anything be sure to reach out again!

Do you need to charge the genius 5 itself? If so how?
Thanks
Hello, thank you for reaching out and be sure to hit that thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't already!! Your support is greatly appreciated.
Regarding your question: the noco genius 5 does not need to be charged. To use the noco genius 5 battery charger/maintainer you will need a constant power source. The Noco Genius will plug directly into the wall outlet(extension cord) and the charger will connect to the battery. While it is pugged into the wall it will provide power to charge your dead battery or maintain it during long periods of time.

A 5amp charger is more likely to do more harm than good on a motorcycle battery. Rule of thumb is the a battery should never be charged at more than 10% of its rating in amp hours. Most motorcycle batteries are in the range of 10 - 30 amp hours. I would never use more than a 2 amp charger on a motorcycle. A 5 amp charger is great for a car.

What’s the main diffference between the 2 , 5, 10. Thanks
The main difference is the power rating. The 2, 5, 10 is referencing "Amps". For example the Genius 5 is a 5 amp charger, it will fully charge a car battery in about 12 hours.
The Genius 10 (10amp) will fully charge a car battery in 6 hours.
And the genius 2 is about 30 hours.
Other wise they are all very similar.
All times are provided from website of "Genius" I have not personally tested the length of time to fully charge a dead battery.
I hope this helps, if you have any other questions be sure to reach out.

@@FullThrottleBHP thank you for the quick reply and I’m depth knowledge ;) cheers !
There's a repair mode. Did you try that?
I showed how to get into repair mode but did not go into detail regarding it. I was waiting to hear back from Noco regarding the feature.
Stay tuned as there will be a follow up video testing the repair mode and seeing if it will bring life back to some dead test batteries. You wont want to miss it! Be sure to subscribe so you dont miss the release of the video coming soon.
Thank you

How long for a Duracell ultra marine / rv deep cycle batter to charger
Hi can I use the genius5 while the battery is connected to car or I have to disconnect the battery . Also if I have a agm I would choose the agm mode
Thanks for reaching out! You are perfectly okay to use the genius 5 while the battery is still hooked up to the vehicle. Yes that is also correct you would select the AGM mode if your battery is agm.
This will select the proper charging method for your style battery to ensure safe charge.

Is there a way to connect the genius5 to the battery clamps on the car so I can close the hood so the alligator clamps don't get in the way.
@@jesuszuniga1257 Yes, actually I have an episode going into full detail of this feature. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/4QT--P45ggw/видео.html
This will show you how to remove the alligator clips to allow you to mount the harness directly to the battery. Then you can use the quick disconnect to connect and disconnect the genius 5 unit.
Oh ok saw the video but my only issue is that my car is my daily driver and using the eyelits won't work. When using the genius5 do I have to connect the alligator clip to the battery first and to walk outlet before choosing a mode to charge the battery
That is to bad the eyelit option wont work for you as it can be very convenient in certain situations. I have it hooked up like that on one of my vehicles and can quickly connect the charging unit with the quick disconnect with out having to lift hood and connect every time.
Yes that is correct. Connect the charger to the battery, Plug into wall outlet, select charging mode, then wait for complete charge.
Hi, how do I enter repair mode for damaged,or sulfated batteries. Thanks
Hello, Thank you for reaching out. I hope you enjoyed the video. If so please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to the channel if you are not already. Greatly appreciate your support.
To enter the 12V repair mode hold the mode button for 3 seconds until the 6V led indicator is on, then press the mode button one more time to activate the repair mode (Led light should also light up to indicate proper mode is selected)
@@FullThrottleBHP Thank you for your clear instructions. It must be very time consuming to answer peoples questions like you do, I wish you great success with your channel.
@@richardevans9465 Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement 🙏🙏
Hi, I hoping to purchase this unit tomorrow but just one question...is the black cord of the unit for a 240v ac power outlet meant for charging the internal batteries of the unit.
@@barryf3395 Hello, Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry but I am not entirely sure what you are referring too.
The noco genius charger has a standard 2 prong for a 120V AC outlet.
Please provide me some more information with what you are trying to charge with this unit and I can try to assist you further.
How long does it take to charge ?
Hello, Thank you for reaching out. I hope you enjoyed the episode and please considered leaving a thumbs up and subscribing to the channel.
The average full sixe car battery (80amps) will take roughly 12 hours with he Noco genius 5 charger. Smaller battery's will be quicker and larger battery's will be longer of course.
If you have any other questions be sure to let me know! Thanks for watching!

Is the maintenance mode good? I have 3 and 4 year old batteries. I want to revive the battery. Can he ??? ❌❌ ♥ ️
Hi have question what setting for EFB battery ?
Thanks for reaching out! For charging or maintaining a 12V EFB battery it is recommended to use the first setting labeled 12V. They do not require special charging patterns like AGM or lithium.
Newbie here has anyone used this as a trickle charger? If so how is it?
Thanks for reaching out. This is basically a fancy trickle charger. The different models "genius 1, 5, 10 ect is the amp rating. The genius 5 will provide 5amps per hour to slowly and safely charge your battery. Depending on the size of the battery will depend on which model would best suite your needs.
From my experience the noco line up has been some of the best chargers I have used to both charge/ and maintain my batteries. Check out the links above if you are looking to purchase and feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

In an hour it would take 60 minutes...🤔
Is there a benefit of going for the Genius 10 over a 5?
Thanks for reaching out, I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did please consider giving it a thumbs up and subscribing to the channel so you don't miss out on any new content!
Regarding your question, Yes. There is a few benefits the Genius 10 has over the Genius 5. First thing would be it is 10amp charger VS. a 5amp. So for example charging time of an average full size car battery the Genius 5 is rated at 12 hours. where the genius 10 is rated at 6 hours.
It also has a couple more charging modes. They would include all the same charging modes as the 5 except for the additional 12V supply mode and 6V AGM mode. Down side is of course cost.
For me my main use for the charger is to maintain my batteries over the winter months when the cars are in storage. I am not to concerned about the length of time it will take to fully charge as I am using it just to keep the batteries topped off. I decided budget wise the genius 5 would be the best fit for me. If you plan on using it to charge batteries from a very low voltage then you may want the quicker charge time the genius 10 has to offer.
I hope that helps, and thank you for your support.
