Review on πŸ”‹ NOCO GENIUSPRO50: 50-Amp Smart Charger, Battery Maintainer, Power Supply, Desulfator, with Temperature Compensation for 6V, 12V, and 24V Batteries by Robert Elder

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I paid my money for this charger! NOCO MUST DESERVE THESE STARS!

I bought this charger for the 24v capability and the flexibility to charge 6v and 12v. The charger is large and powerful. I'll echo another reviewer's observations that it's not entirely obvious what the charger is doing during use. The instructions will tell you how to access the different functions and once you have done that the charger will execute the command. But there is no LCD screen to show progress or tension. There is a series of LEDs that will blink, light up or go out to indicate what is happening or what has happened. The information is in a small manual and is not entirely intuitive. The access sequence for the 24V function involves pressing the button and waiting for 3 seconds. I can't wait seconds. Where should the invoice be sent in these 3 seconds? It's quite difficult to get to the 24V functions and I'm pretty sure, but not sure I actually made it to the desulfation/regenerate/depleted battery repair function. It seemed to work, but I expected it to take a lot longer than it seemed. Who knows. The charger works fine. The 24V charger is sort of a special item and the fact that it is a heavy duty charger translates into a high price tag. I think if this charger had a typical LCD control display the price would probably be much higher and I don't think the functionality would be higher. I really wish this was a 5 star review because it's a great charger, but firstly I paid full price so my stars are still mine (and must be earned, not sold for nothing) and secondly the The user interface and the display do not correspond to the time in which we live. I don't need another hobby to figure out how to get this charger to do what I bought it to do. Management should be easier.

Pros
  • Do more with Genius - universal charger - 6 volt (50 amp), 12 volt (50 amp) and 24 volt (25 amp) - for automotive, marine and offshore lead-acid batteries. - Batteries, including flooded, gel, AGM and maintenance free, as well as lithium-ion.
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
