Bought a NOCO Genius 3500. The repair mode is only for 12 V based on the Explanation in the User Guide. Has anyone tried the repair mode on a 6 V battery?

The place where I volunteer has PEAK Model PKCOAC trickle chargers. Specs say ".3 AMP DC Output / 1.5 AMPS Continuous" what is your interpretation of this? Seems confusing to me. Is it .3 or 1.5? Label says 1.5 AMP Slow Charger.
 
Having not been familiar with this device. I youtubed a for few informative reviews
The usual group of oil filter inspectors.

My conclusion and one heard that for the price of the device just buy a battery.

My conclusion

shoot dead horse

and when using this device to satisfy all your battery repair dreams
make absolutely sure you wear you best newest pair of denim jeans
 
As for the NOCO, I would be afraid to try the repair mode on a 6v simply because the mfg says not to. If you had 2 identical amp hour 6v batteries, you could connect them in series, that should satisfy the chargers 12v requirement.


On the ".3 AMP DC Output / 1.5 AMPS Continuous", that makes no sense to me either. Are you sure it's ".3" and not "3" amp?

Common for an electrical device to have a higher intermittent rating than a continuous rating. Every charger I've used had an internal circuit breaker that would protect the charger from overload. It would cycle off, cool down, then try again until the battery came up enough for the amps to drop to the level the charger could handle.

Also common for instruction manuals to have errors in translation, possibly the .3 is supposed to be a 3.
 

If the book says 12 volt only then why in the world would it even occur to you to violate that and use it for 6V?

The manufacturer would like to have the unit be useful to as many people as possible (so they could sell more units) so if it would work for 6 the book would say so.
 
If the battery is not fully charged, the device will charge at a max rate of 1.5 amps. If it reaches full charge (however long that takes at 1.5 amps) the charger will taper to .3 amps to maintain the battery. If it has a switch to do charging maintaining on 6v batteries, use it. But don't use a "repair" mode where it is stated not to! Jim
