Hey everyone,
I'm getting ready to do some configuration changes on my 2020 Volvo V60 T4. I know it's critical to maintain stable battery voltage to avoid bricking a module, but I want to make sure I have the right equipment.
I currently have a NOCO GENIUS5 (5A), but I'm concerned 5 Amps won't be enough to counteract the car's electrical draw while the ignition is on for an extended period.
My questions for the community are:
Is a 5A charger (like the NOCO GENIUS5) sufficient for simple, quick config changes? My research suggests I need more, but I'd like to hear from those who've done it.
What capacity (Amps) do you recommend for programming/flashing on these cars? I've seen recommendations ranging from a minimum of 20A up to professional units at 55A+.
What specific charger/power supply do you use? Any recommendations for a reliable unit with a dedicated Power Supply (PSU) or Re-flash mode?
I want to avoid a dreaded voltage drop mid-programming! Thanks in advance for the advice!
