Things to consider before buying a car battery charger
When considering a battery charger, the most important thing to take into account is the type of battery you have.

Features & Benefits
Regenerator Mode
One of the most impressive features of the NOCO GENIUS2 is its regenerator mode. This mode utilizes slow pulse reconditioner technology to automatically detect battery sulfation and acid stratification, restoring lost battery performance for extended battery life. This means that the GENIUS2 is not only capable of charging the battery and keeping it in good condition, but it also helps to bring the battery back to life in case it is near its end of life.
Weatherproof & Waterproof
The NOCO GENIUS2 is designed to be dual purpose and can be used both indoors and outdoors. The device is also designed to provide weatherproof and waterproof protection from the elements. This ensures that it can be used regardless of the weather conditions and can withstand long-term use outdoors without any worries.
X-Connect Battery Connectors
The GENIUS2 also features X-Connect battery connectors which allow for quick and permanent connection or connection directly to the battery terminals. This makes it easier and faster to set up the device and connect it to your car battery. This also eliminates the need for tedious wiring and complicated setups.
Digital Display
The GENIUS2 features a digital display which provides an easy to understand overview of the charging status as well as several diagnostic tests which can detect dead batteries, bad batteries, and reverse polarity. This gives users more insight into their battery’s condition and ease-of-mind when using the device.
Social Proof (User Reviews)
The NOCO GENIUS2 has been positively reviewed by many users who have used the product. Coming from a battery tender plus, one user reported that the GENIUS2 charger has selectable modes which proved to be very useful for his AGM red top battery. He noted that charging it for an hour or so allowed it to get back to 100%. He also noted the device’s small size and waterproof capabilities, which allowed him to tuck it on top of his front wheel when charging outside. Another user reported similarly positive results after using it on other batteries, noting that the different modes seem to work as expected.
