Great review. You are right on these Nocos Dustin. I had the yellow and black brand in my Whaler at a slip (in saltwater) and corrosion was starting. This thing is a sealed brick. It is also capable of charging my 3 new lithium iron phosphate batteries, 2 of which are in a 24 volt configuration for my Xi5 trolling motor. Each battery gets one set of leads-that's it. Simple. I almost bought a separate 24V charger thinking that was necessary, but it wasn't! PS - I laughed out loud at your "unboxing" segment. Hilarious. I feel the same way about those. Other than just simply stating or showing what comes with it, why do I want to watch a guy take plastic and cardboard apart for 20 minutes of my life (that I can't get back)?

Hi Dustin- thx for this vid- educating the ignorant (me) and I appreciate it. But I really do have other questions I'm hoping you and/or your subscribers can answer for me... FIRST- I've got a 12.5 ft alum rowboat, with a 42lb / 12v trolling motor, and an Optima blue top D27M - and I already own a small "green wall" charger, takes about 2.5 days for a full "green charge". Me, and a buddy, 200lb a piece, 1 battery, 1 motor, and no other electronics right now. (Maaaaybe a small electronic fish "liar" coming soon- havent decided. 1) Do you mount this charger in the boat? I run my rowboat into an ENCLOSED landscape type trailer, fits beautiful, and snug, and allows me to leave most of my gear inside ;) 2) So I'd need to run some wires into the trailer, right? Is it worth doing this? I eventually I may upgrade to two 12v batteries, but not yet. 3) Stupidest question-- this don't STORE a charge in them, to be able to charge on the water right? Is that worth looking into? We fish small rivers and ponds/lakes, and we've run low a handful of times (it's why we store small canoe paddles).....
@DustinApple
3 жыл бұрын
No the charger doesn't store charge itself. If your current charger takes 2.5 days it must be below 2amps. I understand your minimal lifestyle needs. Your setup probably doesn't need a "onboard charger" just get a quality home charger with terminal clamps. You can pick up something usually big enough to even jump a dead bat. For under $75. Be very careful adding weight to a small boat but a 2nd battery should allow you to run all weekend without needing a charge.

About the same type of unboxing I did on mine. Am I correct in assuming that there's no provision for the vehicle's (boat, truck, RV, etc) charging system to charge the rest of the batteries through this? The alternator, generator, solar, etc, will actively charge battery #1, (or whatever it's tied into) but cannot use this to keep the other batteries charged? Which would require some other distribution/isolation circuitry to allow ~this~ charger to remain isolated on all of the batteries... so... where's the benefit of the 4 isolated channels at that point? It seems like a good quality piece, and I've been ~very~ impressed with the other NOCO jump-packs I've bought, but it seems to me that they left out an important function here, in that the ~only~ way to charge the non-primary batteries is on shore/AC power. Is there something I'm missing here?
@jaydunbar7538
3 жыл бұрын
The benefit is repair mode, it independently treats each battery correctly and tests them. This is more for when you get home you plug it in like for a fishing boats trolling batteries where it's frequently 24v or 36v systems, yet it's best to charge them individually as 12v batteries. If you want the full array of features you listed at this quality it would be triple the cost, and it wouldn't be classified as a battery maintainer. This is a maintainer, not a battery management system which is what you described.

It will require the use of a generator and the appropriate 3 bank charger. It can be done but honestly if you need more power while on the water you need to dive into Lithium. The cost is within a acceptable level now & the run time is DOUBLE of lead acid or AGM. I just bought 24v@60ah with a charger for $600 & it's only 35# witch is equivalent to the 2-31class AGMs I had that were 120ah. Same run time, same cost, 1/2 the weight, 1/2 the space. .... if I required more run time I could have went with 100ah but the cost goes up considerably.

Deep cycling refers to a battery's capacity not its type. Your battery is either flooded led acid, Absorbed Glass Mat, gel, or lithium. 95% of boaters are running either flooded or AGM. If your battery has reservoir lids on top to check fluid levels then you have a Flooded lead acid battery. AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) are typically a sealed battery without lids.

I run a high-performance bass boat and actually put it in a carpeted box to keep out of the elements and two of the banks still went bad. Don’t recommend getting this unit. The only good thing is they do have a three-year warranty. Used to be five, so they will replace it when you send it into them.

Great review. You are right on these Nocos Dustin. I had the yellow and black brand in my Whaler at a slip (in saltwater) and corrosion was starting. This thing is a sealed brick. It is also capable of charging my 3 new lithium iron phosphate batteries, 2 of which are in a 24 volt configuration for my Xi5 trolling motor. Each battery gets one set of leads-that's it. Simple. I almost bought a separate 24V charger thinking that was necessary, but it wasn't! PS - I laughed out loud at your "unboxing" segment. Hilarious. I feel the same way about those. Other than just simply stating or showing what comes with it, why do I want to watch a guy take plastic and cardboard apart for 20 minutes of my life (that I can't get back)?

Is it possible to charge 4 batteries without disconnecting them?
Excellent information. Thank you.
So if i want to charge the battery on my boat which is a 12volt lead acid, I should set the Noco to the first battery symbol on the Noco before the AGM symbol?
Is it okay to pull my lithium battery off the charger if its slowly pulsing green on the repair led?
Appreciate your unboxing.

Im also getting the green light,but when i tested separately the batteries only had 12% charge
Great video. Does the noco charger require that all batteries be the same type? Or, can one bank be lead acid, and another bank be AGM?

Hi Dustin- thx for this vid- educating the ignorant (me) and I appreciate it. But I really do have other questions I'm hoping you and/or your subscribers can answer for me... FIRST- I've got a 12.5 ft alum rowboat, with a 42lb / 12v trolling motor, and an Optima blue top D27M - and I already own a small "green wall" charger, takes about 2.5 days for a full "green charge". Me, and a buddy, 200lb a piece, 1 battery, 1 motor, and no other electronics right now. (Maaaaybe a small electronic fish "liar" coming soon- havent decided. 1) Do you mount this charger in the boat? I run my rowboat into an ENCLOSED landscape type trailer, fits beautiful, and snug, and allows me to leave most of my gear inside ;) 2) So I'd need to run some wires into the trailer, right? Is it worth doing this? I eventually I may upgrade to two 12v batteries, but not yet. 3) Stupidest question-- this don't STORE a charge in them, to be able to charge on the water right? Is that worth looking into? We fish small rivers and ponds/lakes, and we've run low a handful of times (it's why we store small canoe paddles).....
@DustinApple

No the charger doesn't store charge itself. If your current charger takes 2.5 days it must be below 2amps. I understand your minimal lifestyle needs. Your setup probably doesn't need a "onboard charger" just get a quality home charger with terminal clamps. You can pick up something usually big enough to even jump a dead bat. For under $75. Be very careful adding weight to a small boat but a 2nd battery should allow you to run all weekend without needing a charge.

About the same type of unboxing I did on mine. Am I correct in assuming that there's no provision for the vehicle's (boat, truck, RV, etc) charging system to charge the rest of the batteries through this? The alternator, generator, solar, etc, will actively charge battery #1, (or whatever it's tied into) but cannot use this to keep the other batteries charged? Which would require some other distribution/isolation circuitry to allow ~this~ charger to remain isolated on all of the batteries... so... where's the benefit of the 4 isolated channels at that point? It seems like a good quality piece, and I've been ~very~ impressed with the other NOCO jump-packs I've bought, but it seems to me that they left out an important function here, in that the ~only~ way to charge the non-primary batteries is on shore/AC power. Is there something I'm missing here?
@jaydunbar7538

The benefit is repair mode, it independently treats each battery correctly and tests them. This is more for when you get home you plug it in like for a fishing boats trolling batteries where it's frequently 24v or 36v systems, yet it's best to charge them individually as 12v batteries. If you want the full array of features you listed at this quality it would be triple the cost, and it wouldn't be classified as a battery maintainer. This is a maintainer, not a battery management system which is what you described.
Stupid question but can this top off batteries through boating season if not plugged in? I don’t have shore power at my marina but looking to use this in case my battery runs down so I can start motors when at sand bar and stereo running it down.

@DustinApple

It will require the use of a generator and the appropriate 3 bank charger. It can be done but honestly if you need more power while on the water you need to dive into Lithium. The cost is within a acceptable level now & the run time is DOUBLE of lead acid or AGM. I just bought 24v@60ah with a charger for $600 & it's only 35# witch is equivalent to the 2-31class AGMs I had that were 120ah. Same run time, same cost, 1/2 the weight, 1/2 the space. .... if I required more run time I could have went with 100ah but the cost goes up considerably.
I'm curious, I've got 4 batteries and 2 of the batteries that are paralleled, can I charge them both with one of the leads? Trying to decide if I should get a 3 or 4 pole charger/maintainer.

What mode do you use for deep cycle marine battery charge?
@DustinApple
3 жыл бұрын
Deep cycling refers to a battery's capacity not its type. Your battery is either flooded led acid, Absorbed Glass Mat, gel, or lithium. 95% of boaters are running either flooded or AGM. If your battery has reservoir lids on top to check fluid levels then you have a Flooded lead acid battery. AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) are typically a sealed battery without lids.

I bought my first Noco 12 years ago. That one was the best one I’ve ever had. Since then in the last three years they have had to send me four new units because all of them went bad. I believe they are making them in Mexico now and not in the United States. The quality has went down quite a bit. I run a high-performance bass boat and actually put it in a carpeted box to keep out of the elements and two of the banks still went bad. Don’t recommend getting this unit. The only good thing is they do have a three-year warranty. Used to be five, so they will replace it when you send it into them.
