Manuals

The NOCO GENPRO10X2 is a sealed onboard battery charger with two banks, each rated at 10A for 20A in total. Each bank is controlled on its own, with modes for standard 12V, AGM, lithium and a repair setting. It carries an IP68 rating and an integrated thermal sensor that adjusts the charge to ambient temperature. It measures 8.1 by 5.8 by 2.9 inches, weighs 7.2 lbs, and mounts in any direction with anti-vibration backing.

Our take

Two independent 10A banks with separate modes mean a lithium house bank and an AGM starter battery can each get the right profile from one sealed unit. IP68 sealing and any-direction mounting make it easier to place in a damp locker or bilge.

From our buying guide

NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.

Check before you buy:

  • It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
  • Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
  • It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
