Seen Tavarish connect a dead battery that wouldn't charge to a good battery, to a charger to fool it into charging
 
if the battery is down to absolute zero the charger simply doesn't turn on because it can't tell it's hooked up to anything. The NOCO has a "Force" mode that turns on the charging regardless, until there's enough juice there to resume normal smart charging.

Is that a typical winter temperature for you? 😜

My motorcycle shop used one of these to "wake up" a dead battery so a normal charger could work. Basically using it as a "dumb" charger to get a little juice into the battery before moving it to a smart charger.
