4. Configuració i connexió
Follow these steps to safely connect your NOCO GENIUS2 charger to a battery.
- Identifica els terminals de la bateria: Locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on your battery. The positive terminal is usually larger and marked with a plus sign, while the negative terminal is marked with a minus sign.
- Connect Positive Clamp: Attach the red positive (+) battery clamp al terminal positiu (+) de la bateria.
- Connect Negative Clamp: Attach the black negative (-) battery clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. For vehicles, if connecting to the chassis, ensure it is a non-painted, metal part of the vehicle frame away from the battery and fuel lines.
- Connectar-se a l'alimentació: Un cop el clamps are securely connected to the battery, plug the charger's AC cable into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Seleccioneu el mode: El carregador detectarà automàticament el volum de la bateriatage and type. Press the MODE button to cycle through the available charging modes (12V, 12V AGM, 12V LITHIUM, 6V) until the desired mode is selected.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 modes de càrrega
The GENIUS2 offers various charging modes to suit different battery types and conditions. Use the MODE button to select the appropriate setting.
- Mode 12 V: For 12-volt wet cell, gel, enhanced flooded, maintenance-free, and calcium batteries.
- Mode AGM de 12 V: Specifically for 12-volt AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries.
- 12V LITHIUM Mode: For 12-volt lithium-ion batteries (including Lithium Iron Phosphate) with Battery Management Systems (BMS).
- Mode 6 V: For 6-volt wet cell, gel, enhanced flooded, maintenance-free, and calcium batteries.
- Mode de força: Used to manually charge extremely dead batteries (below 1-volt, down to zero volts). To activate, press and hold the MODE button for 7 seconds until all lights flash, then select the desired voltagmode e.

6. Manteniment
The NOCO GENIUS2 is designed for minimal maintenance. Keep the unit clean and dry. Regularly inspect the cables and clamps for any damage or corrosion. Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
For long-term battery maintenance, the charger can be left connected indefinitely. Its advanced monitoring system will ensure the battery remains optimally charged without overcharging.
7. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your GENIUS2 charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| El carregador no s'encén. | No AC power; faulty outlet; damaged charger. | Check AC outlet, ensure charger is properly plugged in. Inspect AC cord for damage. |
| El carregador no carrega la bateria. | Incorrect mode selected; poor connection; battery too dead; battery fault. | Verify correct mode for battery type. Ensure clamps are securely connected. For batteries below 1V, use Force Mode. If still no charge, battery may be faulty. |
| Force Mode does not revive completely dead battery. | Bateria voltage too low for Force Mode to initiate; severe battery damage. | For batteries at 0 volts, Force Mode may require a slight residual voltage to detect. A brief jump start or connection to a higher amperage charger might be needed to bring the voltage up slightly before the GENIUS2 can take over. If unsuccessful, the battery may be beyond recovery. |
| Charger indicates error (specific light pattern). | Reverse polarity; short circuit; open circuit; battery voltage desajust. | Refer to the LED indicator guide in the full user manual (if available) for specific error codes. Correct polarity, check for shorts, ensure proper connection. |
