Yes, but this chaarger do noting better than others 99% of chargers. It charge up to 80-90% of capacity. GYS are much much better and know much more how to charge acid battery.

[@officialWWM]

I took a chance on one of these. Didn’t know much about it. It was replacing another well known brand one I have that failed. I have to say, I’ve been very impressed with it. It’s a great unit, solid, performs well and can rescue batteries that you may have thought were completely dead! Highly recommend it! Oh, and it it completely waterproof, mine is outside charging my boat battery all the time!

[@kellenstuart4698]

For anyone wondering, the Noco 2d is meant for under hood applications. This one is not.

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Follow up: Some batteries take a bit longer for the final 100% charge indication, which is the Green LED on solid, not pulsating. This can take as long as 48 hours. I have 3 batteries and 2 of them took at least 36 hours to fully charge. After the green pulsing light appears, almost 36 hours later, the green light turned solid. NOCO tech support says some batteries can take 48 hours. If you measure the DC voltage while the battery is charging, it will complete when the voltage reaches 14.5 Volts DC. For sure this is one really well built charger. Also, not all batteries that have problems can be restored. But even if you are able to repair 2 batteries that pays for the NOCO Genius 10. Well built and solid design.

[@verdinec]

Thank you for your info...i have a battery charging but the green light has been slightly pulsing so i was wondering if this was maintenance mode and the solid green had passed.

@Speed00007 Avatrery that reaches green but won't stop pulsing is a battery in trouble. Use the restore feature. If that doesn't do it, don't give up. Try a few more cycles. It took me 4 tries to get a battery charging properly once, and that battery is still good.

[@OracleSafety]

Excellent video! I bought it yesterday, very impressed charged up both my Mercedes batteries. I don’t get the solid green light, seems to pulse green. The Noco Manual indicates it’s doing maintenance, but even left for a few hours more, there’s no solid green to indicate an end to the charging cycle. Hard to say what’s happening. Any ideas?

[@AntonJMiller]

is there anything on in the car? such as a hood light etc?

[@wgxdz]

It takes me around 2days to change from pulsing to solid green...

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

It means the battery reached the right voltage. But now you need to see how long the battery remains charged in the car. If you still have issues tr the repair mode and read the directions. Also be certain that once that green light shows, the charge is not yet done until that green light stops pulsing.

Thanks for a great and helpful video. Two questions. First, I have a camper that has two deep cycle marine batteries wired in parallel. (The label on the batteries says DP24. CCA@0F 550. MCA@32F 675. 23 amp avg. 140 min.) Will the NOCO Genius 10 be effective at charging and maintaining them together? Second, in another video, I saw that to charge two batteries wired in parallel, I would put the red clip on the (+) terminal of one battery and the black clip on the (-) terminal of the other battery. Is that your understanding? Thanks!

[@AntonJMiller]

as long as they are 12v batteries this charger will work great. yes, when charging a bank it is best for a balanced charge to hook up to one batteries positive and the last battery in line's negative. this is also how it should be wired to your charging system for the vehicle.

If I'm just trying to charge it you gotta press it for 3 ish seconds? Then you can click to whatever volt you need to charge your battery? We charge it over night? Is that okay?

[@AntonJMiller]

Once you hook it up it should auto sense and start charging then you can click the button one time to change between 12v settings and you press and hold to change to 6v settings or repair function.

[@enorrismusic]

What happens if you charge your battery on the 12v setting instead of the AGM setting? (using the NOCO Genius1 charger)

@@AntonJMiller Thank you Sir for advice. Yes, just in case I should remove the battery first.

[@Waybeyond]

@@AntonJMiller That would be a no. AGM should not be pushed that high with voltage. Repair mode is definitely more with Wet / flooded batteries in mind. I'd advise several charge cycles in AGM mode, rather than letting the repair mode cause further damage. OFC if the battery manufacturer allows up to 16,5 V for their AGM, then sure - go ahead. But... I've been dealing with car and yacht batteries for a few years and haven seen a singe AGM manufacturer advising anything above 16 V, most of them state that 14,9 is max. Only flooded are ok with 16 - 16,5 V to reach the full charge. AGM can be fully charged at 14,7-14,9 V. Wet... not really, unless you fancy waiting a couple of days ;)

[@AntonJMiller]

@@Waybeyond I do not believe repair mode goes past 15v

[@Waybeyond]

@@AntonJMiller Up to 16,5 V as the precedessor did. It's clearly stated in the User Guide. They don't write you can't use it for AGM, however most manufacturers of AGM batteries would not allow such voltage in their warranty cards. Even for OOW I'd not go that high to recover an AGM. Flooded Ca-Ca - yes. AGM - better not to use this mode.

[@leeadams3198]

Assuming those are actually rechargeable D cell batteries and not some Duracell batteries that are one time use only, then this 10 amp charger would be way too much of a charger for them. You need to get a 1 amp or 2 amp charger at most. I recently spoke with NOCO support regarding charging a 9 amp hour sealed battery using my 10 amp charger (identical to the one in the video here) and even that was too much of a charger for my 9 amp hour battery. The support agent said any battery with a capacity above 20 amp hours should use a 5 or 10 amp charger. Any battery below 20 amp hours should use a one or two amp charger. So without a doubt, this 10 amp charger will be too much for your small capacity D cell batteries even if they are all in series to make 12 volts. Since you posted this one year ago, you may have already tried using that charger for your batteries so reply and let us know how it went. Did your batteries get destroyed or did it actually work? What condition are your batteries in one year later? Do they still hold a charge? And what setting did you choose on the charger itself when you charged them?

Nice review actually. I bought a Genius 5, used multimeter to measure the charging voltages, some spikes were seen to 19v at the beginning which was a bit worrying. I saw the similar pattern like 9:23, the voltage dropped to 12.6v and stepped 0.1v up per second to around 14v until showing battery is charged 100%, then dropped to about 13v(can't remember exactly). my battery is EFB, according to manual the charging voltage should be around 14.4v but so far i have never seen it was upto 14.4v, maybe i missed.

[@too8860]

If you use the Bluetooth voltage monitor as the clip you will have the voltage history graph to see the maximum voltage, voltage spikes .

[@pedrorojascervantes3928]

The 19 volt spikes are very likely pulses to desulphate the plates to optimize / restore the capacity of the battery. It's basically jolting it back to life. You will definitely see these jumps in voltage when the battery has gone flat. If you hook up an ammeter you should see spikes as well. This is why the NOCO brand has a premium price over comparable chargers. You're paying for the sophisticated microprocessors. Well worth the dough!

[@AntonJMiller]

No you would need a jump pack for that. Noco sells one too. Click my link in the description to the Amazon Noco store and grab one 😀

I just got a Genius 10 and have tried 2 batteries and it goes from 1 red LED to Green in about a minute for both batteries. I am sure batteries are not full as one was in car that have not been used in a week. Also the LED pulses but never turn off like yours in the video. Is something wrong with my charger? Thinking about returning it.

[@AntonJMiller]

It's hard to say without knowing what voltage the charger is at when it's blinking green. But I'd imagine that it's just not getting to a fully charged state, meaning the battery itself could be "bad". A multimeter would help diagnose whats going on.

[@jedibill111]

Can I charge my 12 volt Lithium Iron Phosphate battery with this charger? The instruction manual is worded in a way that makes me unsure. It says, "12 volt lithium charge mode is designed for lithium ion batteries only, including lithium iron phosphate". The placement of the word "only" has me confused. Does that mean lithium ion and iron only, or does that mean ion only and that it is not for iron? Any thoughts?

[@AntonJMiller]

If your worried go by the specs it charges near 15 volts and charges at a 10 amp rate. It really comes down to if that is too fast, too slow or too high of a voltage for your battery.

Thank you for your great review, I am trying to setup a mobile office behind my car for the main purpose of using a office level laser printer. According to others who have setup this configuration behind their cars, the equipment used are as follows; Laser printer connected to the 2000W inverter, and the 2000W inverter connected to a 100amp deep cycle 12V AGM battery! Now the way these people are recharging the AGM battery, apparently at the end of their day, they take the battery out to their charger and re-charge it overnight! Now my question; is it possible for me to run a second 1100W inverter which I already have connected through the car's cigarette lighter, use this along with NOCO Genius 10 smart charger to recharge the AGM battery while driving and the 2000W inverter is disconnected from the AGM Battery and the printer is off? Does my 1100W inverter running through the cigarette lighter has enough power to connect this charger to it or is it safe? Thank you for your time Mav

[@AntonJMiller]

I wouldn't recommend that. I would recommend charging it normally via an alternator connection. Running 1/0 wire to the rear auxiliary battery from the alternator and either ground the rear battery in the rear of the car or run an additional ground.

[@joebrown4138]

is this going to work on a lithium ion 12v battery?

[@AntonJMiller]

Yes it has a lithium setting. But I would check the max charge voltage of both battery and charger

[@verdinec]

So I had a 12v battery charging for about 2 and a half days the green light was lightly pulsing when I checked the voltage on day 2 it read 13.14v so I was waiting for the green light to turn solid but then the charger status lights started over from the small 25% bar... What might be the issue?

[@AntonJMiller]

The battery just might not have the ability to take a charge. What's the resting voltage of the battery? Have you ever seen it get above the 13.14?

[@verdinec]

@@AntonJMiller resting was 10.49v.. No I haven't seen it get above 13v before but I saw a comment saying when it completes charging with the noco genius 10 the voltage is around 14.13v....

[@AntonJMiller]

@@verdinec I would assume a deadcell cause of the low voltage. Probably need to replace the battery

Really no need to charge the LTO from what I understand. Your alternator will do it well enough.

[@user-sf9mh1ms4q]

For those who does not read the manual (like me), I think it should be point out that Noco recommends not to plug the AC before hooking it up to the battery. I plugged mine in to test it and non on the function worked when you press the button. So thinking something is wrong, I finally read the manual. The only thing that works is if you press it for 3 seconds it will allow you to use the supply mode.

[@AntonJMiller]

Weird. I have done it both ways and it seems to work for me each time...

[@user-sf9mh1ms4q]

@@AntonJMiller good to know that it will not do any harm if you accidentally did. It is on the manual. "Connecting to the Battery." "Do not connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made. Identify the correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts. The below instructions are for a negative ground system (most common). If your vehicle is a positive ground system (very uncommon), follow the below instructions in reverse order"

@@AntonJMiller I had noco 2 I charged old car 12 volts battery with that. After few hour's noco 2 showed solid green light that battery is fully charged.

So I had 30 year old battery charger put it on that for 3.5 days charged 2 to 3 amps got full electrolytes in the battery is fully charged.
