Message	will still fail with reduced amperage. 12-Volts yes, but still having hard start issues. I have personally experienced the Noco Genius revive my two dead batteries in my Z and Truck. Both of which suffered from slow/hard starts before total death. For the price of one battery, I got two back to new condition. I simply wall mounted the unit and have purchased extensions beyond the standard supplied cord so I can run it out to my driveway.
