Product Description
NOCO GENIUS 1 Smart Battery Charger & Maintainer
The NOCO GENIUS1 is a compact 6V/12V 1 amp smart battery charger and maintainer designed for year-round care of automotive, powersports, and small deep-cycle batteries. A temperature-compensated, automatic charging profile delivers fast, safe charging and reliable maintenance without overcharge. With Force Mode for deeply discharged batteries and wide-range 100–240VAC input, it’s a versatile battery charger and maintainer you can use at home or in the shop. Built with spark-proof, reverse-polarity protection and an IP60 housing, this NOCO car battery charger emphasizes safety and reliability.
GENIUS1 Features:
- Smart Automatic Charging – Optimizes charge time and battery health.
- 6V/12V Multi-Chemistry Modes – Charges Wet, Gel, MF, CA, EFB, AGM, and 12V LiFePO4 batteries.
- Dedicated Lithium (LiFePO4) Mode – Uses proper setpoints for safe lithium charging (BMS equipped only).
- Automatic Maintainer – Better than a trickle charger. Safe for extended use to keep batteries at full charge.
- Force Mode For Deeply Discharged Batteries – Manually starts charging for batteries below 1V.
- Thermal Compensation – Adjusts charging in hot and cold to prevent over- or under-charging.
- Included Leads – Clamps with integrated M6 eyelets and an interchangeable connector simplify setup.
- Protections – Spark-proof, reverse-polarity protection and easy-to-read indicator lights for status and errors.
Charging Algorithm & Chemistry
The GENIUS1 uses an intelligent profile that charges, then optimizes, and finally maintains the battery. Specific peak voltage setpoints for each battery chemistry, all at up to 1A—ideal for batteries up to 30Ah while maintaining all battery sizes. It supports lead-acid types (Flooded, Gel, AGM) plus 12V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries with a BMS. After reaching full charge, the charger switches to ongoing maintenance; the Charge LED pulses green during optimization and turns solid green at 100% while maintenance cycles continue. Force Mode allows manual starting on batteries below 1V (returns to normal operation after 5 minutes). For detailed mode/LED behavior, see the NOCO Genius 1 manual link below.
