Anyone have the Optima battery charger/maintainer/fixumathingy?

[Kevin B.]

I have an old red-top. Old. It might even be legal to drive soon. It's been sitting on the shelf unmaintained for years, and my NOCO Genius won't bring it back. I'm mostly just kinda curious if the Optima unit might have better luck?

Yup, back in town Friday

If you want to bring it over, we can put it on my charger that has brought back Optimas. But no, it's not "the" Optima battery charger/maintainer/fixumathingy.

Worth a shot. Are you home tonight?

Mostly I'm just curious, at it's age I don't think I'd trust it anyway.

 

[UNSTUCK]

I should be home by 5pm. Bring it over any time after that.

Let me know if this works. I have one as well that I'm curious about.

Josh's charger worked. My Noco would only get it up to about 8.5 volts, but it's just under 12 now.

Yeah, but, just under 12 is still dead, isn't it?

I'm not dead yet...

Keep it on the charger a bit longer and see what happens. Try for 12.5 volts. What does the percent of charge say?

I guess so, huh?

I didn't notice the percentage, but it had shifted to maintenance mode. I'll give it another round.

I'm feeling better now.
