Noco onboard charger users, I have a question.

[JakeTJCJ]

2020 FSH 210, I have installed a Noco GENPRO 2X10 2-bank charger on the 2 factory batteries. One starting, one house. I assume it was pretty straight forward install. Typical hookup, each bank goes to each battery. My problem is after 24 hours of the charger being plugged in the unit is flashing between the red charge indication and the overvoltage trouble light.

Contacted Noco and they don't have any answer other than the batteries are bad and want me to charge other batteries with it before sending it back.

Does anyone have any bad experiences with the FSH and Noco charger?

Thanks!

You have it hooked up correctly. I would suggest that you take off all the other connections on the batteries and just put the charger on both of them alone and then try charging again. If you get the same error then it would either be batteries or issue with charger. Otherwise there may be something goofy possibly with the wiring to the batteries.

My NOCO works fine… check the fuses to see if they are blown? Make sure you have good contact… make sure it is plugged in all the way… what does your built in volt meters say?

I'm heading over to storage tomorrow to tinker with some things getting ready for the season. I will re-check the fuses and connections. I haven't looked at the volt meter on the boat. I will also check that out. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

Also snop a picture of your battery. Maybe the FSH have bigger batteries? What charge mode are you in?

Also is the unit warm to the touch? Is it cold to the touch?

The DVSR will Parallel the batteries automatically if either one receives charging voltage unless you modify the DVSR Circuit so dual bank charger is worthless unless you modify it. Here is the thread covering the modification. https://jetboaters.net/threads/making-dvsr-active-with-engines-on-only.9798/ One charge bank may be detecting the voltage of the other bank.

@lazergeek, thanks for that info. Out of the countless hours of reading I've done on this forum before getting my boat I never came across that thread, or maybe just skipped it thinking it would never apply to me.

I did do some reading online from Noco's website. Seems like the flashing warning lights I was receiving coincides ambient temperature or internal temp of the batteries. Which I do not believe either came into play for my scenario.

From the Noco customer questions section...

If the Overvoltage, Battery, and Standby LEDs are flashing together, either the charger's internal temperature is too hot, or the ambient temperature is too cold for operation. If the charger's internal temperature is too hot, the charger will stop displaying the error and resume function after the charger cools down. If the ambient temperature is too cold, the charger will resume function when the ambient temperature rises.

Thanks for all the info, so far.

Did you ever find a resolution to this? I am having the same issue where it will show charging, then when it gets to 100% the high voltage light comes on then it starts the cycle again

I didn't want to mess with the guts of the DSVR, so I just cut the little black wire that everyone referenced and used bullet style connectors to unhook it when I charged. Just one thing to think about when hooking up shore power.

Where did mount the charger?

Did you ever get the charger to work correctly?

Assuming you have a battery switch, is it in the off posistion when you charge?

 

[JakeTJCJ]

I have the factory DSVR battery switch, and the battery switches are off when charging.

10 minute fix…very simple - see the pictures:
