GS-911 / Any remedy if getting 'over-voltage' warnings with a NOCO NLP14 lithium battery?
« Last post by JCtx on April 09, 2026, 06:47:15 AM »Just bought it today, and doing some research, several BMW riders (with 1250RTs) reported those warnings, and ESA not working. Since my bike is a 2020 R1250R (the naked one), I'm bracing for the same errors when I ride the bike tomorrow. But want to know if there's a remedy, or have to go back to the AMG I just removed. The main reason to buy the NOCO was that after updating my GS-911 to the latest version, the voltage threshold went up again to 12.5V, I can't do squat with the AGM, even though it's fully charged, it's the more powerful version (YTX14H-BS AGM), and I activated it myself, and fully charged it before installation, so it couldn't be any fresher. Even with my 5A charger connected, it's below 12.5V in less than a minute, so can't do anything. So frustrating. Why was it raised from 12.3V to 12.5V again??? I never had any issues, until the latest software versions.
Anyway, I looked everywhere on my Wi-Fi GS-911, and couldn't find anything related to the battery. So cannot change it to 'lithium', cannot register a new battery, cannot reset anything, and cannot increase the voltage threshold to avoid those warnings. Did I miss anything? If yes, please let me know where it is. Thank you.
Finally, can the higher voltage of these lithium batteries cause any issues on the bike, other than the codes? Newer bikes I think came with lithium batteries, so there must be the option, no? Or are those batteries' BMSs supposed to take care of any differences? That's supposedly the case with the NOCO NLP14, but maybe not. Really curious if it acts up on my bike. But if it does, and there's nothing I can do with my GS-911, would have to try to return it. Thank you.

EDIT: I want to change my login ID (to 'JCtx' too), but couldn't find how. Does anybody know how to do that, or who to contact? I didn't remember my stupid handle, so want to change it for the one I use everywhere else. I'm getting old. Ha ha. Thank you.
