Can the NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger Charge The Batteries While They Are Powering Devices?

Can you leave NOCO GENPRO charger CONNECTED TO AN AC POWER SOURCE and to the battery banks IN CHARGE MODE and AT THE SAME TIME use appliances/equipment relying on the DC power from these batteries?

Yes, you can have the NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger # NOC84FR connected and charging a battery while the battery is being used. The charger will continuously monitor the state of the battery and charge when needed. If fully charged it will maintain the battery.

As this charger has 4 separate banks for charging different batteries you should be sure not to connect to any batteries that are wired together in series or parallel. As when the batteries are connected the charger it could mistake the battery level for the charge output from another battery.
