Hi Cary appreciate the work you bring to the community but since you continuously repeated the need for a battery charger in that video...

It is important that everyone understands that if they want to use something relevant to flashing, it is a PSU that is required not a trickle charger that supplies at most 5A in the later charging cycles for a LifePO4. I’ve posted numerous times the tech details which I won’t repeat here.

Three choices exist for people that can’t get a PSU:
  1. Use another car
  2. Night before, plug the CTEK, Optimate or Noco LifePO4 trickle charger and fully charge the battery
  3. Don’t do anything and risk it depending on battery state of charge and other factors
Appreciate 2
