NOCO GENIUS5UK, 5A Car Battery Charger, 6V and 12V Portable Smart Charger, Battery Maintainer, Trickle Charger and Desulfator for AGM, Leisure, Lithium, Motorbike, Motorcycle and Caravan Batteries

Due to not needing to drive frequently these days my car is idle a lot more, over the past 12 months I’ve had 3 flat battery issues. First time, RAC replaced it, second time they came out again and charged it, explaining the problem, it’s not getting any charge from lack of use. They also advised that I would be charged if I called them out again for this issue.Third time of a non starter on Monday, I looked for a smart battery charger and after reading the positive reviews bought this.It’s fabulous! Instruction manual would be helpful as the QR code on the included leaflet takes you to a broken link. However, it’s not rocket science to figure it out.My battery was completely flat. In under 3 hours the charger had done its thing and was showing on the display screen it was fully charged.No faffing whatsoever, easy to use with a simple interface, compact to store and does the job it’s intended for, quickly.

I store cars and also fit maintenance chargers to clients vehicles.After lots of faulty Ctek ones letting batteries go flat, I started to use NOCO. They have not caused me any problems in the past 3 years.Genius 5 amp is my go-to for newer vehicles. Older vehicles ( No electronics / computers etc ) the fixed 2amp one works well. Can be mounted in the engine bay and is waterproof etc. and works out great value.Leave them charging constantly.

Exceeds all expectations. Best charger I’ve ever owned. I’m so impressed I’m now myself another (as mysteriously my son has somehow taken this one for his own garage, as it’s that good!). …..UPDATE; May 25; Just bought that additional unit and feel good knowing I’ve now got one for myself and already used it. The consistent high quality means I’ll definitely never use another brand of charger. I trust this brand 100% to look after my valuable batteries, including keeping my car battery optimal of course.

This is one of those items that once you have it you wonder why you didn't buy it sooner. Particularly when I needed to call out roadside assistance during a period of cold weather this Winter as there was a battery issue with our hybrid car. Fortunately it was nothing major and didn't take long for the technician to get it going again, but we chatted and he suggested getting a charger as a preventative measure. Mainly as the battery on many hybrid cars will lose it's charge if they don't do sufficient miles or when parked for a long length of time. Several options were mention, this being one of them. It certainly does the top up, charging and other recovery jobs very effectively and came highly recommended, also at an affordable price. Functionality is very straight forward although there isn't a hand book or other instructions in the packaging which is possibly the only negative I will mention. Other than that it's fairly intuitive, compact and didn't get hot during use. Well worth putting among a list of potential buys if you are looking for such a device.

I needed to buy a new battery charger after my very old one packed up.After a lot of searching and review reading I settled for the NOCO Genius 5. I’ve got to say, it’s a game changer in terms of quality and ease of use. They say you can’t judge a book by its cover but I think everyone will agree that a products packaging tells you a lot about what might be inside the box; inside the outer Amazon box was a brown cardboard box with the NOCO logo on and then inside that was the very smartly designed NOCO Genius box sealed in cellophane with very clear pictures and labelling as to what is inside. Open the box and it slides apart to reveal the charger with all of the associated cables and instructions all held in place with 2 protective foam inserts. The charger is well designed and well made the cables all feel top quality and the crocodile clips are large and solid and made from what appears to be copper, all connections are sheathed and or heat sealed. First used to final charge and then maintain a 120Ah caravan leisure battery. On my meter it showed 12.2v so I connected the NOCO, the 25% charge light came on, then after 10 seconds or so the 50% light, followed 10 seconds later by the 75% light and finally after a slightly longer time, the green fully charged light which then after a while starts to slowly pulse to show that it’s now in maintenance mode.A brilliantly designed, very well made and easy to use piece of kit.

Good build and does the job just wish was bit cheaper to charge a battery.
