## Description

The GENIUS5 is the ultimate all-in-one solution for battery charging, maintenance, and restoration, delivering 34% more power in a 65% smaller design compared to its predecessor, the G3500. Designed for 6-volt and 12-volt lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded, and deep-cycle) and lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries (up to 120 amp-hours), it is compatible with a vast array of vehicles, such as cars, automobiles, motorcycles, dirt bikes, scooters, mopeds, lawn mowers, ATVs, UTVs, tractors, trucks, SUVs, RVs, campers, trailers, boats, PWCs, jet skis, snowmobiles, golf carts, classic cars, and more; including automotive brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bentley, Maserati, Lexus, Audi, Ford, Chevrolet, Corvette, Cadillac, Prius, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, powersport vehicles such as Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ducati, Indian, KTM, Husqvarna, Vespa, Polaris, Seadoo, as well as lawn and garden vehicles such as John Deere, Kubota, Toro and more. Featuring an integrated thermal sensor, the GENIUS5 adjusts its charging profile based on ambient temperature, ensuring optimal performance by eliminating the risk of overcharging in hot climates and undercharging in cold ones. It's capable of charging batteries as low as 1 volt and offers a Force Mode for manually charging completely dead batteries (as low as zero volts). With precision pulse charging, the GENIUS5 restores battery health by reversing sulfation and acid stratification, improving performance and extending battery life. Its advanced monitoring system allows for safe, indefinite connection, making it perfect for long-term maintenance. The package includes a 5A charger (120-240VAC), 72-inch AC cable, 80-inch DC cable with battery clamps, and integrated eyelet terminals, mounting bracket and screws, all backed by a three-year warranty. Proudly designed in the USA, the GENIUS5 combines power, reliability, and convenience in a compact design to keep your batteries ready for whatever lies ahead.

Review: Great value and good charger - Works great, easy to use and use it mainly to bring my car battery back to full strength as I don't use it that often. I like the mounting bracket. Mounted it on my wall, but I did add a spacer underneath it because the charger gets pretty warm/somewhat hot, thus allowing air flow all around it. The small size & weight is great. The alligator clips are very good and adhere to the battery very well. Its obviously slower that my large 10 amp charger as should be expected, so if your looking for faster recoveries and less need for a trickle charger, get the 10 amp version. I am leaning into getting one to replace my old 10 amp charger.
Review: NOCO GENIUS5 compared to Schumacher SP1296 - I've used Schumacher SP1296 trickle chargers for many years now, on multiple vehicles and pieces of equipment. Recently I switched all of them to the NOCO GENIUS5 and it's better in every way! On all of the Schumacher chargers I've had, (and that's been a LOT of them) the cord has eventually frayed and broken where it exits the charging unit. On the NOCO, the cord has a rubber reinforcement where it exits the unit, extending the life of the cord. I've included photos of the NOCO (black) and the Schumacher (red) for reference. The Schumacher chargers I've had were dependable and functioned well, but their cord design was a major design flaw for me. Multiple times, It forced me to replace the units before I should have needed to buy new ones. The NOCO is slightly heavier and more compact in size than the Schumacher. The control has more functions and is easy to use. The NOCO display is aesthetically more pleasing and easier to read than the Schumacher. The NOCO also has an on/off switch which is nice. I always use the eyelets to connect to the battery. The charger connection to the eyelet cord has a click type plug to lock it in place, unlike the Schumacher which just presses together. Should you want to use the battery clips, the NOCO clips are bigger and stronger than those on the Schumacher. The only negative aspect of the NOCO that I found was that, according to their user manual, "This product is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -4°F and 104°F". This has not been a problem for me, even when used outside in northern Vermont. It does get below zero here, but typically not for extended periods of time. As long as the charger is kept on the battery, and it's always fully charged, that temperature limitation hasn't been an issue for me. Overall, the NOCO GENIUS5 appears to be a higher quality and better built charger than the Schumacher SP1296. I am very satisfied with their product, and I highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do axtra battery charger better than noco genius 5? axtra battery charger only cost $30**
A: Noco Genius 5 amp battery charger will charge faster than AXTRA 3.6 amp. If you have two cars, you can buy two of AXTRA battery charger for one of the Noco 5 amp charger. Highly recommend AXTRA battery charger: www.amazon.com/AXTRA-Fully-Automatic-Maintainer-Motorcycle-Tractors/dp/B08T7V4VQC 

I am an auto mechanic for 33 years. I have been testing these two chargers for about 8 months so far. AXTRA battery charger has 3.6 amp and 0.9 amp for small, medium, large size cars and trucks. NOCO has 5 amp only. AXTRA is more adequate to trickle charge motorcycle, lawn mower and ATV.

**Q: Should i buy two of axtra battery charger or one unit of noco genius 5 charger?**
A: Well I'm in a unique position as I have BOTH chargers. The axtra charger works fine if you connect it and charge while watching it so to speak.

The noco charger works flawless all the time. I have them both hooked to xtreme charger switching units right now. The noco charges fine when it switches to the next vehicle to charge on the switcher. The axtra works a few times then stops charging till you power cycle it.

Someone mentioned in another answer than the noco only charges at max amps. This is a wrong. The noco trickle charges just like the axtra does when the battery is fully charged.

Its annoying that I have to now purchase another noco charger for the 2nd switching setup since the axtra charger cant do the job so I'm out 30 something dollars on the axtra when I should of just bought two noco 5 chargers to start with.

Live and learn. Sometimes a "deal" price wise isn't such a deal after all.

So yes I would recommend one noco genius 5 charger over 2 or more axtra chargers :)

**Q: How’s noco 5-amp battery charger compares to axtra car battery charger maintainer?**
A: We believe the NOCO GENIUS5 is better. The new GENIUS Series - including the GENIUS5 - incorporates full-throttle technology that holds the maximum charge current throughout the bulk charge cycle. It uses temperature compensation via an external temperature sensor to alter the charging voltage based on the ambient environment, which eliminates overcharging in hot climates and undercharging in cold environments. It charges 6-volt and 12-volt batteries, including lithium-ion. It can be used for a wide variety of functions (recharging from any depth of discharge, maintenance, desulfation, etc.).

**Q: Can I use this to maintain the charge in my car and leave it unattended for months during winter storage?**
A: Noco Genius 5 amp battery charger will charge faster than AXTRA 3.6 amp. If you have two cars, you can buy two of AXTRA battery charger for one of the Noco 5 amp charger. Highly recommend AXTRA battery charger: www.amazon.com/AXTRA-Fully-Automatic-Maintainer-Motorcycle-Tractors/dp/B08T7V4VQC
