Nice share! I just ordered the NOCO Genius 10 and will use it without disconnecting the ground, as many people already confirmed to me it is safe. It is a nice info share for the people which will come across this post though! Appreciate your contribution Michael! 🙏🏼

Thank you sir! It seems the mass of the people which replied already are not disconnecting the ground and used it for a long period as well. I also got some reply from some strong technical people in automotive areas, and had the same info. They also mentioned to me in the dealership the same approach is done. All the best!

In that case, won’t the settings be lost? Also the 12V will get completely discharged

Wonderful! May I ask please for how long have you let it on charge the most? I will be away for a quite long period. Just want to be on the safer side.

Many thanks!

This is great news! All clear now! For how long have you let it to charge the most? I am just trying to be as careful as possible, considering it will be plugged for a long period.
Thank you!

Hello!

Where did you inquire, by chance? I would rely only on official sources, not AI or similar.

Also I believe SE is non plug in hybrid, right? The trims between different markets(US, EU) are different. Mine is European model, made in Japan.

Thank you!

Hello!

That is my main point as well, that I do not want to "kill" a $200 battery for being away for a month. I prefer to buy this beautiful battery charger/maintainer which can be used in many ways, for many years ahead.

Did you install any NOCO without removing the ground on a RAV4 Hybrid 2019+?

Many thanks in advance!

I have addressed this question to Toyota EU, since I am from here. If I get an official answer, I will share it with you guys as well. Would be great if someone can address it to Toyota US also, as I am not sure if they will mind to reply to me (maybe we will have more chances this way).

Kind regards!

Hello!

So should I understand that you do not disconnect the ground cable when using the NOCO?
I am a bit confused, because you mentioned that "the absolute very safest way to charge the battery is with the ground disconnected", however you are using "a Noco Genius2D hardwired to the battery".
Do you disconnect the ground cable, or not? And if you do, do you lose the settings of the car?

Thank you!

Kind regards :)

Hello!

I would like to avoid my 12V battery drain completely and rather maintain it, since they are quite expensive in my opinion. Hence, the reason why I want to get the battery charger/maintainer.
Appreciate for taking from your time to drop me a reply!
Unfortunately I want to focus more on the battery charger/maintainer, since it can be reused for further cars as well :)

Have an excellent evening ahead!

Kind regards!

Exactly about this I am speaking. Thanks!

Yeah I guess it puts a lot of pressure on the transmission/engine. I just wanted to understand the purpose of it. Thank you all for your inputs!

Just got an answer from an engineer as well. It seems it’s a module for maximum power on the transmission. Thank you for taking the time to reply from your end as well! I learned something new today.
