Expert Reply:
For the NOCO Genius 5 # 329-GENIUS5 or 10 # 329-GENIUS10 you need to select the correct battery type to ensure it charges correctly. If you were to select the wrong battery it could damage your battery by overcharging it or not charge the battery correctly. On top of your battery you will typically find the battery type or a model number you can use to check the battery construction to determine which one you have.
