NOCO Genius 5 charger trouble

[juliancant]

Hi.

Just bought a NOCO Genius 5 charger to trickle charge my car. I think the charger might be faulty. As soon as I plug it in it flashes the 3 red lights. As I understand it that means the charger is too hot or too cold. It is in my garage, about 10 degrees C so it is not a temperature problem either way. As its flashing it wont let me select any of the modes.

Nothing to do with the battery either as it does this even before I plug it in to the car battery.

Anybody else had any issues with this sort of charger? I can't find anything on line or anything like this sort of issue. Don't think i'm doing anything wrong....

If the manual doesn't explain that happening due to an operational problem (not connected properly, wrong temperature etc) I'd say it was faulty. In that case you need to return it.

That's the conclusion that I came to but nice to have it confirmed, thank you.
