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.

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!
Great video thank you just purchased this charger...your video really helped

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!

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...
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.

Great Vid , can you explain when to use the 3 second hold as opposed to the 1 second hold of the button . tia.
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.
I bought one. It works great.
That is great news I am glad you are happy with the purchase!
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 ....
Thank you for any info on the matter.
I found the Advanced Charging page at 1:05 very helpful!

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
What are the differences between new and old models ? I read they removed some features ? 24v and SAE standard
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.
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 UA-cam 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!

What size amp extension cord do you connect to this charger?
Question, when should you use "12v Repair mode"?
What about this "Repair Mode" feature???
How does that work???
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
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.

I have the G3500. Would this one in your video get rid of the ! Light on the 3500. It appears dead
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.

How long for a Duracell ultra marine / rv deep cycle batter to charger
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.

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 💐
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 I've got mine Nocco 5 and able to put my battery back to work, thanks guys for all the information and follow up. Will hook it up inside the car so I can charge it anytime when needed.
@@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, 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.
Thank you again for your support and please consider leaving a like on the episode and subscribing if you have not already.
Also if you have any other questions be sure to reach out any time. Would be happy to help anyway I can.

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.
Thanks again for your support, until next time be sure to keep er at full Throttle 😉

Thanks for your reply
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

Is the maintenance mode good? I have 3 and 4 year old batteries. I want to revive the battery. Can he ??? ❌❌ ♥ ️
What about repair mode?
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.

Can I jump-start my vehicle using this product?
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.
nice job

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 ;) !
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. (ua-cam.com/video/VgxYT_iS-y4/v-deo.html)

@@FullThrottleBHP Amazing reply - thank you and I wish you the best of luck with the ongoing success of your channel
@@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.
@@mpcp27 Awesome - thank you ☺️
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.
If you have any other questions dont hesitate to reach out! Thank you again for your support, until next time... keep er at Full Throttle!

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.
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,.
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.

I have a AGM battery. Right now it’s at 14v. Will this maintain it in the AGM mode or will I just get the over voltage light. Will I have to wait till it eventually drops below 12v?
Thanks for reaching out! I hope you enjoyed the episode. If so I do ask for you to consider leaving a thumbs up and subscribing if you ahvent already! Your support is greatly appreciated.
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.
I hope that answers your questions and if you are curious about anything else just let me know!
Thanks again for your support and until next time... keep er at Full Throttle 🤘
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.

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 ;) !
Thanks a lot for your excellent review! Only one question: does this charger need any maintenance? How do I know if it need charging itself? Or maybe more clear, how do I know its level of charge? Thanks in advance
The charger itself is a sealed unit / solid state electronics and requires no maintenance. My advice to you is to purchase a good digital multimeter which is the the only accurate way to measure battery voltage. They are cheap and relatively easy to use and there are many resources online to instruct you with their operation if you’re unfamiliar with them. Also if you purchase the Noco charger READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET and keep it for future reference as it has all the information you would need. Noco’s website has links to support as well.
@@kayakfish9912
Thanks a lot!
@@aproudisraeli4951 You’re welcome. I was thinking about your question a little more and wondered if you were referencing a Noco jump/booster pack for emergency starting a vehicle with a dead battery. The device in this video is strictly a charger/maintainer and does not have the ability to “boost” a dead battery instantly but Noco does make boost packs as well that can do that. A boost pack would require to be fully charged between uses to keep it’s internal battery at optimum levels but other than that there’s not really anything else to do to maintain it.
@@kayakfish9912
Thanks again!
That's exactly my question! How do I know that the buster is full charged, in the case that the car battery don't work at all!
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.
⛔ 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!
I also appoligize I missed your original comment from a few days ago. Glad you reached back out.

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.

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 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.
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.

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 🙏

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.

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!

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.

@@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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

can i use this if my car is parked outside ?
Yes this charger can be used if the car is parked outside and is actually one of your best choices to use if someone is in the same situation. This is because the noco genius charger has a temperature sensor built into it and will change the charge cycle accordingly to the temperature so it does not over charger or undercharge your battery. Unlike conventional chargers that could harm your battery if the temperature is cold/hot or fluctuating .
@@FullThrottleBHP Thanks
Did that charge to 1.28 or more electrolyte density?
I have to admit I am not completely sure what the electrolyte density would be at with this charger. I did list all given specs in the description below. Noco support may also be able to further assist you with your question.
