NOCO GENIUS5 Smart Battery Charger Dimensions

The NOCO Genius 5-amp smart charger quickly charges and maintains your 6V and 12V lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, using a standard household outlet. Rated for 6V and 12V batteries up to 230 amp-hours, it's a great charger for cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers, ATVs, tractors, trucks, SUVs, and boats. With 5 selectable battery profiles, multi-stage charging, and advanced safety features, this Genius smart charger makes it easy to keep your batteries in peak condition. There's even a Force Mode feature for charging dead batteries with 0-volts.


NOCO GENIUS5 Genius Battery Charger Operation

This Genius smart charger removes the frustration of having to own multiple devices to charge different battery types and vehicles. Just attach the battery clamps to the vehicle's battery terminals, select a charging mode to match your application, and wait for the LED indicator to signal that the battery is completely charged. It's that simple.


User-Friendly Interface with LED Indicators

NOCO GENIUS5 LED Charging Indicators

This Genius smart charger was designed to provide a simple, user-friendly experience. The mode button allows you to easily cycle through the unit's charge settings. Back-lit LED indicators let you verify that the unit is operating correctly, and they allow it to be easily operated at night. These indicators signal the unit's charge status, selected charging mode, and alert you to potential performance issues or errors.


NOCO GENIUS5 Smart Diagnostics Troubleshooting Explained

These indicators allow you to quickly identify a problem with the battery or connection. So you don't have to waste time guessing if the battery voltage is too high or too low for your selected mode, or worry about damage from a reversed polarity connection to a battery.


6 Battery Charging Modes

This Genius 5-amp smart charger has 6 selectable charging modes that let you quickly switch between charging different lead-acid and lithium-ion battery types at different voltages. Traditional battery chargers generally only work with a specific voltage or battery type, like lithium-ion or AGM batteries, or only in special circumstances like charging in cold environments. This Genius smart charger gives you the versatility to tackle different battery types and charging situations in one charger.


NOCO GENIUS5 Automatic Battery Charger Charging Modes Explained

The image above details the available charging profiles. The charger works with 6V and 12V wet cell, gel cell, enhanced flooded, calcium, maintenance-free, AGM, and 12V lithium-ion batteries with battery management systems (BMS).


NOCO GENIUS5 Force Mode for Charging Zero Voltage Batteries

The Genius 5-amp can detect and charge batteries that have been drained to 1-volt. And by activating the Force Mode, the charger can even charge dead batteries with 0-volts. Traditional chargers can't detect a battery when the voltage drops below a certain level. To activate Force Mode hold the mode button down for 5 seconds.


Genius Precision Battery Clamps

NOCO GENIUS5 Genius Precision Battery Clamps

The needle-nosed battery clamps included with this Genius smart charger are designed to easily connect to battery terminals of all shapes and sizes. Unlike typical, plastic battery clamps, these clamps are constructed entirely of metal, ensuring maximum conductivity. The clamps are covered with an over-molded plastic housing, which makes them easy to operate even with work gloves on. A built-in 10-amp fuse protects your connection against dangerous overloads.


NOCO GENIUS5 Battery Clamps with Eyelet Connectors

1/4" Eyelet connectors can be unbolted from the clamps for direct mounting to terminals on hard-to-reach batteries. The lie-flat design ensures maximum contact with terminals to optimize current transfer.


Quickly Charge and Maintain Batteries from 120VAC Power Source

NOCO GENIUS5 AC Plug for Wall Outlet Charging

This Genius smart charger plugs into an available wall outlet to quickly charge and maintain your battery. High-frequency switch-mode technology converts AC power into safe DC power to fully charge batteries. An onboard microcomputer monitors and controls this charging process to minimize power loss and maximize efficiency. The included mounting bracket with hook-and-loop strap lets you mount the unit in an enclosed compartment, garage, or workspace.


NOCO GENIUS5 Charging Times for Battery Sizes

The table above provides a quick reference for how long it will take the unit to charge some different battery sizes.


Rugged Weatherproof Design

NOCO GENIUS5 Rugged Weatherproof Housing

The Genius5 smart charger comes with over-molded connection points to protect the unit from dirt, dust, and water. The unit has an IP65 rating, meaning the housing is considered "dust tight" and protected against water sprayed from a nozzle. A durable X-connect plug ensures a weathertight connection when attaching the clamps to the charger.


The housing is made from tough Lexan resin that protects the internal electronics against impacts. The unit can handle being dropped, kicked over, and just about anything else your day brings.


Interchangeable X-Connect Accessories

NOCO GENIUS5 X-Connect Accessories for Versatile Charging Solutions

This Genius smart charger features a unique X-Connect plug that lets you disconnect the battery clamps and attach other X-Connect accessories (all sold separately) for versatile plug-and-play charging solutions. Add an extension cord to increase your connections reach, or use the 12V female plug to connect and power 12V accessories. Access your vehicle's battery through charging ports with the OBDII connector, or the 12V male plug. With a large variety of available accessories this battery charger can be outfitted to meet your application's specific charging needs.

  • Can Two Batteries Wired In Parallel Receive a Charge at the Same Time
    You can use a battery charger such as the NOCO Genius Battery Charger and Maintainer # 329-GENIUS5 to charge a set of batteries that are wired in parallel however, the first battery will charge first. Once the first battery is charged it will then provide a charge to the second battery. I will say that charging the two batteries separately will be the fastest way to charge them.

  • How to Connect two 12 Volt Batteries and Still have 12 Volts Output
    There are two ways to wire up two batteries. One way doubles the volts of the two batteries and the other keeps the same amount of volts. In parallel the voltage stays the same and in series it is doubled. Check out the diagram for more info.

  • Switching From 12 Volt Batteries To 6 Volt Batteries Blowing Fuses On Camper Trailer
    If you have a 12 volt system on your camper, you will need to wire your 6 volt batteries (in series), like the attached drawing shows. You would need to run a jumper from the positive side of one battery to the negative side of the other battery. This would provide the 12 volts needed. If you have wired the 6 volt batteries (in parallel) as the 12 volt batteries were probably run, you are not providing enough current for your camper, causing the draw to blow the fuses.

  • Should the Brake Controller on a 2016 Toyota RAV4 Always Have Power On To Controller?
    On vehicles like your 2016 Toyota RAV4 it is very common for a brake controller to always have power since they are usually wired directly to the battery and not to a ignition switched source. Generally this is never an issue unless you plan on letting your vehicle sit for long periods of time which you should use a Battery Maintainer # 329-GENIUS5 to protect your battery anyways. If you wanted you could install a Relay # BL63VR in line of the brake controller which you could then tie into...

  • Will DC to DC Converter Protect Tow Vehicle Alternator With Lithium Batteries
    Hello again Paul; I read that as you wanted to install the batteries and the solar, not that you already had the solar installed, so sorry about that. A DC/DC converter will certainly protect the alternator but whether or not it is necessary is debatable. There are a lot of people towing with lithium batteries that don't have this on their trailer/vehicle and don't experience a problem. With the solar keeping you topped up it is even less of an issue unless you're boondocking and draining...

  • Parts Needed To Add A Lithium Battery To An Enclosed Trailer And Charge It
    Hi Omar, Typically on an enclosed trailer the battery will either be mounted to the tongue or will mounted inside at the nose of the trailer to make connecting to a 7-way junction box easier. This can be done with a battery box on the outside of the trailer or will typically just be held in place with some wood if inside the trailer. The lights inside the trailer can be wired to the battery, with an inline switch to turn them on/off. Your traffic light functions will all still run to...

  • Battery Charger Recommendation for Two 6-Volt Batteries Wired in Series
    Since your batteries are wired so that the two 6 volt batteries are in series and produce an output of 12 volts the part # 329-GENIUS5 would be a great option. If you want to charge the batteries individually or if you want the total output to remain 6 volts, this charger will still work well for that application.

  • What Setting Should NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger Use for Gel Cell Battery
    With a gel cell battery you do not need to use a special setting with the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger # 329-GENIUS5. The standard 12V mode is correct for gel cell batteries like yours. Only the AGM and Lithium batteries use individual settings.

  • Can Battery Charger Be Left Installed on Vehicle That Has Lights that Come On Occasionally
    The NOCO Genius Battery Charger and Maintainer # 329-GENIUS5 is essentially the same thing as a battery tender maintainer. This will charge a dead battery and then once it senses that it's fully charged goes into maintenance mode to keep it topped off. You'd be able to leave it hooked up and put small amounts of draw on the battery no problem. I have this charger on a car at my house and I open the door of the vehicle on occasion which turns on the interior light and it works just fine.

    Hey Dale! I recommend the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger # 329-GENIUS5 to keep your batteries maintained in storage.

  • How Long Does it Take for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller to Drain a Battery
    If you completely disconnected power to the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 then you would indeed lose all of your settings. The controller does go into a sleep mode after around 15 minutes of inactivity but there will still be a few milliamps of power being draw from the vehicle's battery. This could then potentially drain the vehicle's battery after a few months but since the charging system on your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 features a two battery bank, it might last...

  • Wiring Two 6v Batteries With One 12v Battery Together In RV
    The setup will be a combination of batteries connected in series and then the bank of two connected in parallel. The two 6v batteries would need to be connected in series, positive to negative. The next step would be to wire these two batteries in parallel with the 12V battery. You would connect the free positive terminal from the 6v setup to the 12V positive terminal and the free negative terminal from as well. If there is room, most of our customers will wire 3 12V batteries in parallel...

  • How to Charge Battery on Enclosed Tool Trailer for Lights at Jobsite
    Hi Joe; you can add a 7-way to the trailer and connect it to your truck but this is just a maintenance charge. If you really want to charge the battery with your truck you need the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Trailer Battery Charger # RED96FR which would allow for actual battery charging using your vehicle. Since the trailer will be staying on the jobsite most of the time and the lights are only necessary for brief periods at night I would just run a battery charger to it during the day when...

  • How to Add a Battery to an Enclosed 6x12 Cargo Trailer for Powering Interior Lights.
    So the right way for you to do this will depend on how often you're going to use the lights and how many of them there are. If a trailer isn't equipped with a battery, the interior lighting is frequently tied into the running lamp circuit. Turn on the vehicle's running lights and boom, on come the lights. This is the simple way to go. You'd obviously need the truck there and plugged in to make that happen. You'd also want to run the truck from time to time so the alternator keeps the vehicle...

    The purpose of a diode is to stop the back flow of electricity.

That said, when you attach two batteries to one another via a charge line they will try to balance each other. Therefore, if the start battery has more juice than the trailer battery the trailer battery will pull from the start battery and vice versa. The diode however...
