My NOCO 5 does have a separate repair mode function. I too as skeptical and maybe what they refer to as detecting sulfation is indeed checking resistance and just applying the right charge current. If I get a chance this weekend I'll put it back on and watch the voltage as it charges and see...
Reading the NOCO 5 manual I'm lead to believe that if I just leave it connected it will do some sort of repair but then there is also repair mode. I think I posted about me taking voltage measurements when my NOCO 5 was running thru the 4 hour repair mode. It does indeed bump up the voltage...
My NOCO 5 works well for me. I've used the repair mode a number of times and it does indeed seem to help. I got it when I found out my battery was an AGM and I likely shouldn't have been using my 40 year old charger on it.
It claims to be smart enough to:
"The GENIUS5 automatically detects sulfation/acid stratification. If any is found, the GENIUS5 will automatically repair and reverse the damage done to the battery, extending the usable life and increasing the performance."
Shrug. I read, I think in the...
Oh yea, I was referring to my old battery charger. I did charge this AGM battery up last January when everything would turn off when I turned the truck off. Just not sure if using that charger is right for an AGM battery. But it seemed odd that with the NOCO saying the battery was fully...
I put my NOCO Genius 5 on it and the desulfating light wasn't on until the green light saying it was charged came on. Then, about an hour later, the desulfating light was back to being off. I suppose it's because this charger floats below the 13.5volts it takes for the desulfating to happen...
Thanks. I have noticed my voltage acting different. After it shuts down, it stays closer to 13 volts for longer now but it also seems to get down to 12 volts when I get back to the truck. I suppose it just needs to continue to do its work? I've not seen my CCA going up at all just yet but...
I've been meaning to post this but this is where I installed mine. Had to bend one of the connectors a but and clean up the grime on the metal but it fits snug and I think the Velcro will hold it well.
Just installed my battery minder today. As mentioned before, I set the SOC To 95%. I haven't shut off ASS but I generally push the button on startup and only enable it when I know I'll be sitting for some time. I noticed the CCA staying below 760 since October even though I did the repair...
I find it interesting that you say the "goldilocks zone" is 80-90%. I up'd mine from 90% to 95% a couple of months ago and I can tel you that I see below 14volts more often now and Auto Stop/Start works much more consistently and my voltage after I turn off the truck is higher and more stable...
Sorry to rain on the XL, STX and cheaper XLT parade but my 2019 XL STX had the problem and I had to have it fixed under warranty. Mine was at around 48K miles to the extended warranty covered it.
The blend door controls the temps between hot and cold and mine was stuck in sort of warm...
Evidently I'm trail blazer as no one responded. But I can say that this story has a happy ending. On Wednesday morning, when I got to work, my Power Ports stayed on after shutting the truck off and opening the door!
I think what happened was this. As mentioned in the battery thread, I'd...
Replying to myself in true bad internet forum fashion....
Having my SOC at 90% seemed to work fine but it really seemed like the battery capacity, Auto Stop/Start and CCA readings in the morning slowly degraded. So, I up'd it to 95% on this last Sunday (June 4th). Also on Sunday, I turned...
All,
Did some searching around trying to find posts that addressed the issue of Power Ports turning off when the door is open despite the timeout setting of 4500 seconds (75 minutes) and I've come up empty. Everything I've found either here or on google is about how to keep them on longer than...
I did assume they came from an actual Bronco which is what I looked up on Americas Tire. I know very little about the stock Bronco's and their number of lugs. Mostly my post was to show how to figure out the size so I would leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out the size of the...
If my info from America's tire is correct your 16" steelies are: 255/70 R16 so the diameter would be:
255 x .7 = 178.5.
178.5 / 25.4 = 7.0275" of sidewall.
7.0275 x 2 + 16 = 30.055" diameter
The only 18" I could find is for the Bronco Sport Big Bend and it's 225/60 R18
225 x .6...
Do you have the 4" center screen or the 8" with the touch screen? I posted this:
