    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    looking at the picture above repair mode is 1.5 amps....get it on the charge mode of 7.2 amps and see if that brings it up...1.5 amps is just a float charge.

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    I have one and it works great! I have the 803 though....one thing I found was to unplug it before you start the genset...on mine it won't make power if I do...no idea why. Other than that it works great keeping the batteries up to snuff.

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    Knee jerk guess on the battery....possibly charging it overnight wasn't enough...not sure what a 7200 is as far as charge stye and amps...the noco 5x2 is really meant to top off and maintain and not charge up from a lower state of charge...I've also read that to get a red top to charge it needs...
