- Disconnect: To disconnect, unplug the charger from the AC outlet first, then disconnect the X-Connect cable from the GC002 accessory.
6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your GC002 X-Connect M6 Eyelet Terminal Accessory:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the eyelet connections to the battery terminals for corrosion or looseness. Clean terminals as needed and ensure connections are tight.
- Cable Condition: Check the cable for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. If damaged, replace the accessory immediately.
- Connector Cleanliness: Keep the X-Connect plug free from dirt, moisture, and debris to ensure a reliable connection.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues while using the GC002 accessory with your NOCO Genius charger, consider the following:

- Fuse Check: The GC002 includes an inline 20A micro-blade fuse. If the charger is not receiving power, inspect this fuse. A blown fuse will need to be replaced with an identical 20A micro-blade fuse.
- Charger Status: Refer to your specific NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger's manual for its indicator lights and troubleshooting steps, as the GC002 is an accessory and its function relies on the charger.
