The NOCO GENPRO10X3 is a three-bank onboard charger for 12-volt batteries, delivering 10A per bank for 30A in total. Each bank is controlled on its own, with selectable modes for standard 12V, AGM, Lithium and Repair, so mixed lead-acid and lithium batteries can be handled by one unit. It is fully sealed to IP68, uses an integrated thermal sensor to adjust the charge to ambient temperature, and can bring back batteries as low as 1 volt, or from zero volts in force mode. It mounts in any direction, even upside-down, on an anti-vibration backing, and weighs 12.8 lbs.
Our take
Three independent 10A banks, each with its own mode including AGM and Lithium, mean batteries of different chemistry can each get a suitable profile from a single charger. The IP68 sealing and any-direction mounting also make it easier to place on a boat.
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.
