Just got this thing for my truck, took less than 10 minutes to set up, you hit all the points. The build on this thing is solid and can see this lasting for a long time. In the instruction manual also recommends bringing the battery to a full charge before engaging into the repair mode, for anyone using that mode.

[@anthonykaiser974]

Note that it can take several days just to bring one up to charge if it's really dead.

[@pjanke2]

Been using one for little over a year to maintain a 8D deep cycle; works like a charm. I recovered 2 batts I thought were dead as well with the repair mode.

[@louir3199]

Bought the Genius 10 last summer after purchasing the GB50 Boost XL, which works excellent jumpstarting a 5.0L V8. The Genius 10 repaired 2 - DEAD 2X Batteries and saved me ~$500 from having to replace with new. LOVE the NOCO items

[@TheNotMeTube]

GREAT sales pitch. They definitely need to be one of your sponsors - or at least a beta tester!

[@danzaokid]

Thank you for a dazzling video. The NOCO "repair" function also restored one of my 5 y.o. neglected flooded lead acid batteries. Note they offer marine versions of these chargers, and the jump starter comes in like 5 models. Recovery Mode (automatic) is for soft sulfation, but for hard sulfation, a stronger technology = Repair Mode desulfates a by applying a controlled charge to a fully charged battery by applying highly regulated low currents combined with high voltages. The NOCO G7200, G15000 and G26000 chargers all feature an advanced 16V Repair Mode technology.

[@bmpman]

I swear that literally anything NOCO puts out is quality and it's not that expensive. The reason the jumper and the charger are smart is because they have a chip in them that can sense different types of electrical pulses, it's so freaking wild. I've jumped off so many people's cars with my medium sized NOCO jumper that I keep in my truck 24/7 and the battery lasts a year if you don't use it before it even loses a charge.

It's funny that you said that.. Last year I got a Noco Genius 2 for my bikes, and for whatever reason, it was d.o.a. Rather than deal with returning - I spazzed out and used it for a shooting target.. 1 shot w/ a .22 cal at about 25 yards, and the round dinged and glanced off the device.

[@calvinpinto9871]

Beware because the manual advises the battery should be fully charged before entering repair mode!

[@digitaldazzle5836]

3:03... I understood that reference 😂 "Break Pads! The warranty must be on the box." LMAO!

[@AM-pq1rq]

I used a 12V DC Charger like the one that's used for a home internet router (D-Link in my case). Make sure it has very low Amperage - mine has 0.5 A which is fine. 1A is ok as well. I connected the inside of the plug to the plus side of the battery (last) , and first connected the outside of the plug to the minus pole. Make sure to not short them! I let it sit for 10 minutes, after which my dead battery showed a charge of 6.9Volts and I could swap to a normal battery charger/conditioner.

I need a battery charger ASAP and can't decide between a CTEK MXS 5.0 (4.3 amp) and NOCO Genius 10 (10 amp). After having watched this entire video, I decided to buy the CTEK MXS 5.0. This guy is a very good salesman and I don't take words from salesmen. NOTE: CTEK was established in Dalarna, Sweden in 1997. They are making chargers as accessories for Ferrari, BMW and Ford.

[@thinkbig1145]

CTEKIS REALLY GOOD ! I have several of them 🦾🦾

[@louir3199]

CTEK also makes a charger for Porsche... I own one, but I think its only 2amps, not helpful if the battery voltage is too low.. .. the Genius 10 works great to charge and repair worn out batteries from less than 2 volts. i.e. very dead!- I also have the NOCO Boost 50 and it jumps my 5.0 V8. 928 like "butta'". I recommend these highly.

Question is when use repair mode is this ok for Acid/ AGM or lithium battery

[@choppedandscrewedcustoms]

I have 1 of the jump starters and my 87 GMC was dead it hadn't been started in a month the GB50 cranked it like it had a new battery in it

[@martymartin2894]

I bought the 2 amp version of this. Im sure its a good charger but it didn't do as claimed and charge a dead battery that i had in my garage for a few years. It could possibly be low on acid and probably needs topping up. But because its sealed i can't do that. I'd say that is the problem and without being able to top it up, no charger will charge it. Seems like a well made charger and id say will be good to top up good batteries.

[@josemedeiros007]

Did you put your Noco Genius charger in force mode to charge your dead battery? Most smart chargers won't charge a battery if the voltage level is too low, but Noco SMART charger's do.

[@MegaTapdog]

don’t put acid in a battery the only thing a battery needs is water that out gasses, also don’t use repair mode on agm unless you are absolutely sure it a last resort after trying force charge and charging a couple times. It’s even stated in the manual as a warning right after full description of the repair mode.

[@joemazzola7387]

I read somewhere that car batteries are mortally wounded here in New Jersey in July hang on for dear life until the first cold morning in November

[@DosBear]

I was able to repair 3 of the 4 batteries that I have but they are not holding the charge anywhere near as long as they did when I first purchased them. The nice thing about this NOCO charger is I can use it instead of the trickle charger when I'm out and about and it is much faster restoring to full charge.

[@albertcabot8546]

Hey Bob. Do you think you could put one of these on a 12v bank of AGM batteries? Our sailboat has 3 LifeLine 4D’s that are near “end of life” at six years and not holding voltage well. We already have a Noco 10 and I’m ordering a GB40 from you link. Thanks for the great review.

[@evilhamsterman]

You should take a look at LFP replacements. They are more expensive up front, but they're pretty much set and forget. They last longer, don't require maintenance like a trickle charger, you can fully discharge them without damaging them. A really good investment

The genius models only charge, the little box you see is not an actual battery. You definitely want to check their actual boost line up.

[@DosBear]

A nice long extention cord in the trunk would be the way to go to be safe. It's not for boosting it's for repairing and recharging them.

I guess you can just use "repair mode" of Genius 10 when the battery is inside the vehicle and you don't have to pull it out of the vehicle in order to charge/repair it, right? Also, can you use the "repair" mode with AGM battery? Thanks!

[@MarioAMM1]

Yes to both

[@anthonykaiser974]

You should disconnect the battery to protect electronics if applicable.

[@theoutlaw2395]

At 4:12 you (Bob) say "this is an AGM battery," I bought this charger yesterday to try to fix my Yellow top Optima. Page 5 of the User Guide under "Using 12v repair.", the Caution below it says in the second sentence, "CAUTION. USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS FOR 12-VOLT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. " Are Absorbed Glass Mat batteries compatible to lead-acid batteries to use this feature? I also have the GB40 jump starter that really gives me a safer feeling knowing I have it in my car.

I'm not sure what kind of proof of ownership you need to show. I haven't tried this (yet).

As Kutsi says, when repair mode finishes, it just shuts off. You then may want to unplug/plug it from the wall outlet, and then select the regular charge mode. If it recovered, it should start charging. If not, battery prob bad.

I've had one of these for a few years now. When one of my batteries were dead, they stayed dead even with using the repair option on these things. Anyone who doesn't believe me I have a Model: GB40. They may be a US designed product but they are made in China. Oh, I also have a Model: 26000 v2 which I leave my Harley battery on over the winter in my basement since I can't get terminals on while in the bike. These will charge a half dead battery but if the battery is actually dead, it's not going to magically come back with one of these. I've been trying it for years with both of mine, it doesn't work. I've also owned a jumper before I got these and it couldn't even turn over my Sportster when the battery was dead with only 2 cylinders. My GP40 can barely turn over the 302 in my Mustang when it sits for a while without a charger. These things aren't magic, none of them are form any manufacturer. Again, if your battery just needs a little bit of a push or you want to just leave it on a charger when it's not being used, these work perfectly fine and so will any other charger.
