Last month, as it started to get colder, just for the peace of mind, I bought a jump-starter and a Noco Genius 3500 batter charger/maintainer/conditioner whatever that is...
It's hooked up to the battery to help it a bit as I don't drive the car very often...
When I 1st hooked the Noco Genius up, it went from 25 to 50 to 75% within about 25 minutes but then took about 7 hrs to get to 100%...but i guess it does the charging/conditioning slowly on purpose....
Noco recommends keeping it connected with adequate ventilation - (does not overcharge - it's one of those 'smart' conditioners) during cold weather and seldom driving so that it can be on maintenence mode, making te battery is always in top condition...
So....Can I just keep the Noco conditioner/charger connected to the battery while the trunk is closed (the car is inside a garage)
Or should I keep the trunk open while the Noco is connected in maintenance mode? (with garage still closed)
The 1st time I used it, I had the trunk open and the conditioner connected with the garage closed overnight to condition the battery a bit after it charged the battery...no problems, but I disconnected it the next AM. My question is about keeping it connected for long(er) periods on maintenance mode while the car is sitting ...
