Comparing CTEK and NOCO Battery Chargers
Question:
I want to buy a 12v battery charger. Ive narrowed my choice to Noco Genius 7200 and Ctek 7002.The charge speed of either one is fine. I need to charge 12v Deep Cycle as well as 12V Automotive charging different 12v types may be helpful. I want the very highest quality charger. I respect and request your recommendation please as you sell both types. Weighing the pros. cons and my intended use, what would you buy?

We recently added the NOCO product line to our existing range of battery chargers which has long included CTEK products like # CTEK56353. I have owned one of the CTEK chargers for almost 6 years and it has worked perfectly for me in continuous service, always being on either a motorcycle, lawn mower or car battery 100-percent of the time during those 6 years. Based on that performance I can only give it high marks.
The NOCO charger # GENIUS10 works with 6 or 12 volt batteries sized up to 230 AH, including lithium batteries, and includes a desulfating mode and pulse charge mode to really optimize your charge. Includes a 3 year warranty.
I will try the NOCO next time as I like the display and options.
