The reason I was asking is I have another different model that supposed to charge a fully drained car battery, but it gives me an error message every time. Once I put some charge with an old-school Schumacher, then it can pick it up from there. I read somewhere that there is feature that brings the fully drained batteries back to life. I believe Noco ones have that feature. I was wondering whether this Stanley has that feature.

This was one of the questions posted on HD. The answer:This unit requires a battery to have at least 2V remaining in it to activate all safety features and properly charge the battery. If a battery is completely depleted, it is recommended to have the battery checked at local automotive store to ensure it is working in proper function. If further assistance is needed, please contact Baccus Global Technical Support at 877.571.2391 or email at [email protected]|Feb 20, 2026

Can this bring a Greenworks battery that won't charge and only blinks red when attempting to charge?

You can just apply a 12 v ps to it or parallel it and it sh l uld hold enough of a surge face charge temporarily to get your charger to keep it going...

I'd just temporarily connect it in parallel with another battery to get the charger started, then remove the second battery. Even a couple seconds from a power tool battery will be fine to "jump" start the charging.

That said, a battery drained that far is likely bad. It would have physical changes inside, and likely not be very usable for anything from that point on. One of the most common lead-acid batteries that people see this with is internal combustion yard tools, and it's why a lot of people get only a season or two out of the batteries - once they deeply discharge, they become unusable without assistance from a jump starter.
