FAQs

Q: What types of batteries does the Genius 2D support?

Wet, AGM, gel, and maintenance-free 12V lead-acid batteries are all compatible with the NOCO Genius 2D. Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries can also use it without any problems, but first be sure to read the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

Q: Can I leave the charger connected indefinitely?

Indeed. The Genius 2D is safe for long-term use since it has an automated float charge, which keeps the battery from overcharging.

Q: Can I charge a deeply discharged or dead battery?

Indeed. Battery recovery mode on the Genius 2D can try to recover deeply depleted batteries down to 1V. When working with deeply discharged batteries, take safety precautions.

Q: Is this charger suitable for direct mount installation?

Indeed. Because the Genius 2D is made for direct mount applications, it can be installed permanently or semi-permanently in cars, boats, or recreational vehicles. Make sure the installation space is well-ventilated.

Q: Can I use the charger in extreme temperatures?

Operating temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C) are advised. To avoid damage or decreased efficiency, stay away from freezing or extremely hot conditions.

Q: Can I charge multiple batteries at once?

No, one battery at a time is how the Genius 2D is intended to be charged. The charger or batteries may be harmed if several batteries are charged at once.

Q: Is the charger waterproof?

No, although the Genius 2D can withstand splashes, it shouldn’t be immersed in water. Place in an area shielded from precipitation and exposure to water.

Q: Will the charger work while the vehicle is running?

Yes, although inline fuses and appropriate wiring are advised for direct mount installation. Steer clear of exposing the unit to engine start-up voltage spikes.
