Battery maintainer question

[InjectedCJ7]

Sorry for delay. Son is in town from Florida. You have not missed a stage. While it's pulsing it's still charging. When it turns solid green its fully charged. That will take some time to reach fully charged. The NOCO trickle charges so it slow. Have you started your Jeep yet ?

I have not started it yet. I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss the solid green stage, but the instructions are a bit vague with respect to the pulse speed... Thanks for your reply!

No problem. If you leave again, it can be left on. Forgot to add. My wife is from Lansing Michigan.

Take care.

Thanks Curtis,
Im in Jackson, but we hang with the Lansing Area Jeep Club. I’ll follow up if/when I get the pulsing light figured out!

Just let it pulse. If your battery was dead, it's going to take long time to turn solid green. You can always jump her and drive her and then hook NOCO back up.

I have the GB 20 NOCO Boost Sport jumper. Little thing but it jumps very well. These are nice to have if you ever have to jump anyone.

note, “happens right after initial charge is complete.”

https://no-co.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/...The-Green-LED-is-flashing-Is-the-charge-done-

The blinking green LED is showing the charger is in the Optimization portion of the charge. This can last for up to 48 hours. it happens right after the initial charge is complete, and anytime during Maintenance when the charger is 'topping' the battery off. This is a low current trickle charge that fully saturates the battery, repopulates the ions to the plates, and mixes the electrolyte bringing up the specific gravity. A good analogy is it's like pouring a beer into a glass. You fill the cup and then have to wait for the foam to go down before you can pour more beer into the glass. Then let the foam settle and you can add a little more, and so on.

The charger will periodically provide ongoing optimization and help maintain the voltage level of the battery, and the green 100% LED will flash again during these cycles.

@InjectedCJ7 for your reading pleasure, the NOCO 10 is one of the best chargers for a stock setup, heck I use it weekly on my Genesis setup. The way all these newer vehicles are designed today with high parasitic draw plus anything we add which makes it worst anyone is best suited to add a maintenance charger even if it’s a daily driver. The conditioning a smart charger does for batteries is a wonderful thing and will add life to batteries but as you should well know factory batteries are not the best.

AHHHH. I expected you might see thread and chime in.

FWIW, I just bought THIS NOCO charger that will be mounted to my '21. With some of my return credits it was free, and I've already got a NOCO 10. I run the aux battery delete but still occasionally put a charge to it to keep it up. Also the Jeep will go through times during the summer where it will sit a bit when I'm driving the truck, so it'll work good on it.

@OldBlue

Suggest you cancel that order. Seriously! Use your Noco 10 !

Just use a quick disconnect with your Noco 10. Forget the 3 amp offering.

I can also use the new one on the tractor. I still need another. I have been using the 10 on my JLU. May just continue with it and use the smaller one onboard the tractor.

Thanks @Rhinebeck01

I have three battery tenders going...one for the C7 Corvette which Chevy made easy by installing a socket in the back...one on the Silverado which sits unless I need a big P/U...a four station tender that currently keeps two 12V batteries nice and happy...

I think I understand what the NOCO is doing. I hooked it up to my 95 Vette battery (conventional 12v), which had been charged and disconnected prior to my Florida trip. It quickly went through the stages, and the green pulsed at a rate of about 2 sec per pulse (optimizing?). I never saw the green stay on steady. After about a day or so, it seems that the pulsing slowed to about 3 sec per pulse, which is the rate I noticed when charging the JL. Is it possible that the optimizing and maintenance pulse rates are this similar? I have no problem leaving it on longer, just trying to understand what the stages are.

John

NOCO

 

[johnbyron]

All the information you guys provided is great, but I am still a bit confused and NOCO could probably to a better job at differentiating between the last few stages. Let's say I leave my charger on overnight and I find the green light pulsing the next day. How can I tell if it's in the optimization stage (pulsing) or maintenance stage (slow pulsing)?

Might help some. I have 3rd auto that is only used 1 or 2 times a month. Regular battery. It was last used 9 days ago. I hooked my NOCO up last night 6pm and went to bed 11pm with pulsing green light. 8am this morning the green light was solid green. Battery was fully recharged.

I just like to keep this battery charged once a week this way. So next week I'll hook back up and let it reach full charge again. If you leave on your Jeep until its fully charged then you will see solid green. Since it was dead battery when you got home its going to take longer to reach full charge.
