[QUOTE="Vinnie_B, post: 16872038, member: 201678"] I know alot ppl that flash a ECU or module on just battery power with no external power supply and get away with it. It can be done.( I have done it with my Ngauge) Wisely.......I dont think so! Can it be done with these chargers like the [B]NOCO[/B] and [B]CTECK in (supply mode)......absolutely.... but with risk! [/B]If you read the manual instructions on these units they dont mention using for these kinds of applications. My biggest concern with these chargers are the following: 1. Obvious safety concerns in this mode (Supply mode in noco disables safety features) 2. (Clean Voltage)AC ripple coming from the battery charger 3. Voltage drops that could cause the reflash process to fail (13.6 volts is based on 120V line side power to unit) 4. No adjustable (Voltage) with no display 5. No where I seen or read that says its approved for flashing or programming. Will it work for a simply flashing? Probably. Is it reliable? I dont know and I dont want to find out the hard way on a customers vehicle or even on my own. The fact is its just not made solely for flashing/programming and that makes me uncomfortable. IMO a Schumacher or Deutronic is the way to go for reliable, safe, flashing and programming. Hope this helps your decision. Please choose wisely!!
