NOCO NLP14 Dead and Won't Charge. Time to call NOCO - see what happens.

My basically new NLP14 died. NOCO support was excellent.

I have had this a couple of times. I think modern chargers too clever. Simply put on old fashioned charger for a few minutes, or jump with another battery. Then swop back to a lithium charger. I wouldn’t leave them long/or unsupervised though!

little clock would draw uA of power, not the issue. the battery will have a BMS circuit trying to keep the batteries in balance, that takes a small amount of power. over time it will drain the battery. there are smart BMS circuits with auto cutoff at 2.5V/cell to protect the battery but maybe not this one. best to charge the battery to 80% every month while in storage/not in use.

LiPo batteries in that condition require a special "conditioning" charger. I had something similar happen with an electric motorcycle I had. Standard chargers won't work.

The Genius 5 charger in recovery mode is supposed to do that. Obviously no good in this case, or not as effective as something designed to do exactly that. Thanks for watching.

Or.... Just unhook the battery 😅

Great point! Thanks for watching
