FYI the correct way to use the NOCO Genius 10 and it’s repair feature is: 1. First charge the battery full normally until you see it flashing green (maintenance mode once it’s full) 2. Then you can use repair mode which does its stuff to clear up the sulphated/Stratified cells If you hook it into repair mode and it’s not fully charged your battery will just enter charge and maintenance mode instead and not do a proper repair mode. You probably works have gotten better results if done properly. It’s an excellent piece of kit though, I have and used the Genius 10 (and GB40 jump starter) many times (currently using it on a 7 year old AGM 80AH Mercedes battery)

Usmaan Ayub, Thanks for the comment, I forgot to mention that when I pulled out this battery on my Civic that I've just charged it with the Genius 10, So before I used the repair mode it's already been charged (sorry for the confusion).

my understanding is that the repair mode will charge it first before beginning repair mode. this understanding comes from a comment from NOCO support in an amazon q&a ... "The Repair Mode last approximately 4 hours then it should go to Standby Mode. If the battery is not completely charged prior to Repair Mode beginning then the charger will enter a Normal charge. During this time the charger will display the flashing Repair Mode LED but the charge percentage LEDs will begin pulsing. When the charger shows a solid green 100% LED and the flashing Repair Mode LED the repair and charge are complete."

Great video and demo on a Noco Genius 10 repair mode. My electronics teacher in high school always stated to use baking soda and water to clean the battery terminals and corrosion. I would have also checked the battery electrolyte level since you have removable covers. I use a Pulsetech PowerPulse passive battery desulfator that you leave connected to the battery all the time on my BMW battery for the past three years and have had no problems with it starting my car even though I drive less then 25 miles a week and states that it's patented frequency can increase your battery life span up to three times and is used by the U.S military. I would like to see you demo it and test if it works after several weeks of use on a sulfated battery.

Great vid! This was very useful because I didn't know how to tell whether mine was finished or not. The instructions aren't good. For anyone looking to see what it looks like when the repair mode has finished, go to 5:23. Thanks for making this!

Well he forgot to mention, in order for repair mode to work properly you first charge to 100%. That's when the flgreen lights starts glowing. Then go into repair mode. Manual clearly states how it works

its a good idea to wash the entire battery. sometimes they leak power thur corrosives on the outside that are linked to the posts

There are more points to consider: 1. Untangle all wires that are under load 2. If electrolyte level of the battery wasn't good, nothing can repair it 3. Manual says make full charge before using repair mode 4. Clean battery outside. Dirt can be conductive

Thanks for this video. So during repair mode I think the red light will just keep flashing, right? Also, if the battery is >5 years old (still working), it's probably a good idea to use "repair" battery from time to time, right? Thanks!

Yes but before you do repair you should charge it full otherwise if you hit repair and it’s not full it’ll flash and just enter charge mode instead.

For some reason NO one mentions the importance of measured "internal resistance" provided by the tester. If you rewatch this video and pay particular attention to the measured internal resistance before and after the "repair", you'll notice internal resistance goes from 27+ milli-ohms to 8.8 milli-ohms. For a 12volt battery to function adequately its internal resistance MUST remain between 3 and 5 milli-olms. Another "repair" charge or two may bring this battery within the REQUIRED 3 to 5 milli-olm range to enable the battery to function normally. Try adding distilled water to the low fluid cells, if any, charge normally, THEN try another repair cycle or two, TAKING SPECIAL NOTE OF THE "MEASURED" INTERNAL RESISTANCE. If the measured internal resistance continues to decrease with each repair cycle then continue repair cycles until the battery's internal resistance falls within the 3 to 5 milli-olm range. If you can't get there you'll know the battery is truly DONE.

Comparing two screenshots battery parameters did improve between repair cycles: Healthy 3% -> 37%, Charge 2% -> 98% ... Internal Resistance dropped to 8.83. So if you do this again, it will probably work ok

Some battery's need few cycles to recover long as you see improvement with each cycle keep trying . I'm in process recovering a optima blue top 11 years old. I started it had 9 CCA 200 MILLIOHMS . CURRENTLY IT HAS 15 milliohms 350 CCA IT keeps showing signs of improvement , keep trying see how much I can get it to recover , I did put a headline to do a discharge to recharge it , lite draws 3.2 amps I left it on for 5 hours till drew voltage down to 12 volts .

Few round of charging or repair?

The battery probably has a short between the cells. Sometimes they won't short till the amps increase so the battery tester won't pick that up. Sulfite crystals form causing the cells to expand or flex creating a short. So that's too much to expect the Norco to repair and unfair to say it failed!! Take it to a recycle centre and move on!

Those two rectangular blocky things on the top of the battery are the caps for the cells. Each cap plugs three cells. You can see the corrossion / acid has leaked out from under those caps. Most likely the tops of the lead plates were exposed and you could have added distilled water to the battery. Then charge fully, then use repair mode. @@edcardiy

Never give that better charger a chance. Why are you doing the whole documentary? The battery charge was falling right in front of you. 13.6 means that it had each one of the cells had or 2 battery needs to be washed out. The lead in the bottom of it was making the connection. The light from better charger needs to be a solid green for it to be done.

No need for silly loud music in the background.
