    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, I would suggest that if your batteries really die, that they be charged 12v individually. The slave port works good for charging and trickle charging. Every now and then I take off the slave port connector and put the clamps on, and give the batteries a individual charge check-up...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, Even though I make use of the slave port for 24v charging. I still every now and then hook the NOCO G7200 up to each battery by itself to ensure it is fully charged.

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, That is also why in the manuals it says to remember that the 24v slave receptacle is always hot. The only time it is not hot is when you disconnect the batteries. NOCO G7200 hooked up here. Every now and then I hook it directly to the batteries individually to make sure they are equal...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, Now after collecting a few green things, I really like having a charger which I can move around. I simply throw it on the slave port and walk away. Since it's a smart charger, I can leave it there a week or month or whatever.

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, Read the thread. You can call the company and order the slave cable end. They sell different amperage pieces. The very light duty is what I am using. They also sell slave ends for using as jumpers, and they also sell complete nato jumpers. Saw a nice pallet with 6 Graywacke 500 amp jumper...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, I can move the charger to wherever it is needed. I can also just leave it connected and not worry about over charging. With the slave port adapter, I can easily put a charge on any military nato slave port. I have been using the charger recently prepping new optima yellowtop batteries for...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, Yes, you want your batteries at there best. Even with charging and maintaining your batteries does not mean they last forever. The solar panel does all the good stuff to keep your batteries ready for when you need them. Just because I have the G7200 connected to a 24v slave port, does...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, I use a NOCO Genius G7200 24v charger with a Graywacke GEISLV-SR. The NOCO G7200 and larger units handle 12v and 24v charging and maintaining. I use this on generators. This can work with any item which has the 24v slave port. I also take the plug off and use the battery clips on...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, My 2007 MEP-802A has the Exide 2HN batteries with a manuf date of Nov 2011. I added some water and slow charged each battery separately. Both batteries are working and staying charged without any issues. If and when I have any issues. I would be putting the Optima Yellowtop 51R...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, No, I have not had any problems with my NOCO Genius G7200 24v charger. I did find that if the batteries are in great shape, and the resting voltage is way up there where it should be. I would simply put a load (run preheat, or priming) on the batteries, to take the voltage peak off. I...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy. The MEP-803A really did not need charging. I thought I would just hook up the Noco G7200 charger and let it sit and do its thing. After I hooked it up, the orange error light was blinking. (2 Optima REDTOP batteries) I found the batteries were sitting very nicely at 26.36 volts. So...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, I have found a issue with Optima batteries in good shape. After coming back to charge the batteries, the NOCO G7200 freaks out because the voltage is above 24 volts. I have found if I run the priming pump some, it will take the voltage peak down. The G7200 unit will then go through the...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, Graywacke Engineering makes a bunch of slave port connectors. Here is a link to the slave port product PDF I used the mini-nato connector. I am sure you could use any 24v charger/maintainer and attach this end.

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, What's neat about this method is... I have a smart battery charger which I can use for other batteries. 12v lead acid, 12v agm, 24v lead acid, and 24v agm. I have used the Genius G7200 and a battery minder to bring back 2 Optima redtop agm individually. I then put them both back into the...
