well it's been good and consistent so far. i left it plugged in all the time. once a while i powercycled the Noco just to monitor the status lights in action. it's pretty consistent, whenever i opened the hood, it was flashing green slowly, meaning the battery is at an optimized level...

I noticed the charging LED lights on my Genius 5 were off, the only LED indicator that’s lit is the AGM 12V indicator. But when I reconnect the powercord to the charger again, then it’d go through the charging process ( flashing red, then yellow, and then green). But the next time when i opened...

Is it safe to connect the Genius 5 to the truck all the time when not driving?

Finally got the Genius 5 installed yesterday. Decided to mount next to the 12V battery and routed the extension cord through the front grille. So there’s no way to set the amperage? Genius 5 only charges at 5amp?

is 5amp a safe current setting for trickle charging on our F150s?

finally this weekend i will install the Noco 5. i will route the extension cord from the battery terminals out through the lower windshield area to connect with Noco5 via more extension cord. Noco 5 will be inside the garage while the truck parked outside the garage. we drive the truck about...

i'm leaning toward NOCO 5 for the cost and my need. yours is NOCO 10, do you know if 5 can be mounted outside the truck like you did with 10?

Will NOCO 10 be overkill for just battery maintenance purpose? Will Genius 5 be a better option just to trickle charge the battery at low amp?

i'm deciding between NOCO 2D for direct mount near the battery, and NOCO 10 or NOCO 5 for portable mount (can be placed inside my garage with cable running out to the truck). what are the pros and cons and which one is easier to install?

The dealer updated software on two battery related modules, they believe it was a software issue. They checked main 12V and auxiliary battery, both are good.

how often we have to change the aux battery? i'm surprised the two dealers i brought the truck to didn't mention this after i told them the symptoms.

i have no problem starting the truck either. It’s just the vehicle in battery save mode from FordPass app, and the weird welcome chime sound are driving me nuts.

I bought the H7, not sure I even know how to change state of charge. Dealer has reset BSM when they installed the replacement Walmart battery (so they said), I’ve tried the fan thing as well. As far as daily driving, we haven’t driven it a lot (2 times a week about 10 miles each trip), but when...

Hate to circle back to this thread but about one year after I replaced the Ford battery with a Walmart battery most of people recommend here, the same battery low symptoms came back: FordPass shows low battery mode, drive to reconnect vehicle, the welcome chime went back to the mono tone instead...

wouldn't you know it, 5 mins after i posted this the app worked LOL
