Review on ⚡ NOCO GENIUSPRO25: Professional Smart Charger - Fully-Automatic 25-Amp Battery Charger, Maintainer, Power Supply and Desulfator for 6V, 12V, and 24V Batteries with Temperature Compensation by Dwight Tim

This charger is amazing! With a 25 amp output available, it will quickly meet all of my charging needs. This device also doubles as a battery holder, making it even more versatile. I have another NOCO product that I have been using consistently for many months and I cannot speak highly enough of their products. The main charger and cables are remarkably durable and can withstand any kind of abuse that can happen. Path. The charger is very well made. The package includes a charger, an extension cord for charging, a cord with battery clip, four power cords, a carrying case and instructions. Which power cord you use depends on the region of the world you live in and the type of adapter you need to connect to your power source. The charger can be wall mounted using the supplied fasteners. The carrying case protects the components from cuts and abrasions, and since it's also lightly padded, it should protect the charger from deep drops. The manual is thick, but that's because it covers many languages. I removed the English part and threw away the rest. There are only two buttons on the charger that control all of its functions: mode and 5A. When connected to a battery, the mode button can select the charging and repair functions. When the battery is not connected, the mode button selects the power supply functions. For charging, the mode button is used to select one of 9 charging modes. For each battery voltage, 6V, 12V or 24V, you can choose between lead-acid, AGM or lithium batteries. This button also initiates forced mode, which charges a fully discharged battery. Of course, this charger is no marvel, even if it does charge a dead battery there is no guarantee that the battery is actually good. Although I have not used the forced mode on this charger, I have used this feature with another NOCO product I have and it works great. This feature is a must when fully discharging a LiFePO4 battery with built-in BMS, like I've had several times. For smaller batteries or for battery maintenance, the 5A button changes the maximum charge rate to 5 amps. The mode button allows you to select battery repair modes for each of the three available voltages. This feature is useful for restoring poorly performing batteries, typically old or inactive batteries. There is no guarantee that the battery will be repaired; some just went too far. I plan to use this mode from time to time even though I think my batteries are working just fine just to keep them optimal. To properly use this mode, the battery must first go through a normal charge cycle, and then repair mode can be entered. The charger has automatic temperature compensation, automatic detection and recovery of sulphation and acid stratification. Four warning lights illuminate as required: high voltage, bad battery, reverse polarity and high (charger) temperature. The charger can be used as a 12 or 24 volt power source. This is useful when you need to power DC devices such as inverters, or it can be used to keep the vehicle powered during a battery swap to prevent the loss of trip computer settings or radio presets. The output of the 12v setting was 13.56v and the output of the 24v setting was 27.1v. Although the charger comes with a 10ft extension cord, it does not need to be plugged in unless , you need the extra length when loading. Clamp cord 5.4'. I suspect that additional 10ft extensions could be attached to increase the range of the charger, but I'm not sure. Other NOCO products may use additional extensions. The cords are attached to each other with a zipper. The other NOCO unit I own is all weather proof and has a similar design so I am assuming this unit is also weather proof but I don't know for sure as there is no such statement in the description or manual . When I first used the charger, I connected it to the battery and plugged it into the mains. It went through a test cycle and then went into standby mode. I pressed the mode button and started normal 12V charging. Since my battery was already fully charged, the charger gave it a quick charge and then after a short time showed a full charge. During operation, there is a fan that turns on and off as needed. This is not surprising given the high currents this device can generate. After reaching a full charge, I put the battery into repair mode. This process can take up to 4 hours. I can't rate the effectiveness of this feature as my batteries are fine, but I suppose it helps. When the battery is removed from the car, the clips attach easily to the pole batteries, but require some dexterity to attach to the side pole batteries. . I was able to get them to connect by tilting and wiggling the terminals a bit so the teeth cut into the battery's plastic case to hold it in place. This is fine for a temporary fix, but for long term use I will install screw posts for a better connection. The terminals have a convenient eyelet connection that can be used as a permanent battery connection. The clamp cable is attached to the clamp with a screw that can be removed to reveal the spade connection.
