Battery charging repair mode bone-head mistake
Hi all,
I would appreciate your expert opinions on my stupid mishap.
My GS 350's battery was dead and so I used a NOCO Genius 5 to fully charge the battery back. Then I used to repair mode of the charger to do desulfation of the battery. I used the repair mode while the battery was still connected to the vehicle electrical system. I eventually found out from the small fine print of the manual that it was recommended to have the battery disconnected from the vehicle before using the repair mode as the repair mode's charging voltage is at 16.5V (as opposed to 14.5 V normal charging voltage) and vehicle electronics could be sensitive to the higher charging voltage. I don't know the Lexus electronics' sensitivity to the higher charging voltage.
I have made this bone-head mistake before I realized this I needed to take this precaution. I started the car and checked all the audios and GPS, etc. afterwards, and I have not found any electronic malfunction as yet. I would like to ask the forum whether there is a more comprehensive way to do a diagnostic to see whether there was any damage to the electronics due to my stupid oversight.
Many thanks in advance.
