I'm installing a NOCO Genius GEN5X3, 3- bank, 15 amp onboard battery charger on my Ranger 330-V bass boat. We needed a way to quickly and simply charge all the batteries on the boat. My boat has a regular lead acid battery for the starting battery and AGM batteries for the trolling motor. This NOCO battery charger will simultaneously charge all three batteries on the boat by simply plugging in the charger. I needed this so I can pre-fish for a tournament, then be able to charge all the batteries overnight so they could be tournament ready. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe. I welcome your comments!

Thanks for the video. Finally got an upgraded fishing boat and need to put one of these on board.
Order a new grizzly tracker 1754 so it's all stock setup an I will need one of these for sure thanks for great setup my friend
Thank you! That was great!
Thanks!
Would of routed the power wire different so its not so visible, also would of used a old rod sock as loom and hidden most of all those wires, and would of installed a [NOCO extension receptacle] that has the waterproof cap, great video and you may have addressed the things I mentioned, I know you were pressed for time when you did the install glad you used the dialectic grease is such a good practice . stay safe, and FISH-ON MICK IN FL, HARRIS CHAIN OF LAKES
Nice video. Just bought one. Hook set ya!
Thank you! Yep- Got my batteries charging right now to hit the lake tomorrow morning.
That dielectric
grease though...LOL
Hey great video ! How’s this thing holding up I’m considering one myself for my setup?
Thanks! It’s still working great. I leave it plugged in, in the garage and it maintains the charge. I like the LED read outs that show you when your batteries are charged.
@@ProWrenching that’s great that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve got maintainers on mine right now and it’s just a pain with all the wires everywhere so I’ve been looking into one of these. I appreciate the response
I'm sure by now you realized that you have to select the right type of battery on the charger. When you fired it up you left the first two banks on lead acid not AGM. Good video.
good point. when you set the NOCO charger to the correct battery type (in my case 2 AGM's and 1 Lead acid) and finish charging, then unplug the charger, do you need to set the battery type on the charger again next time you plug in? Or is there a memory on the NOCO?
@@starshooter1003 just bought a 2-bank, box says it has memory.
Is having 4 batteries & 2 battery chargers in the battery compartment too much weight in the rear of the 330V?
I have 3 group 31 size (large) batteries. 2 for the trolling motor, one for cranking. The boat handles fine and gets on plane well, but it seems a little heavy in the rear, especially with a full tank of gas. Thanks for your question!
no ox grease might be a better choice as it is conductive
How long are the cables from the charger to the batteries?
I believe they were about 6ft long. I had plenty of length to connect them on my boat.
Can you please tell me what kind of grease did you use to prevent corrosion ? Thank you very much
Dielectric silicone grease
@@ProWrenching thank u
@@ProWrenching any brand you would recommend ?
@@fjin1 I just use whatever I can find on the shelf at my local auto parts store as long as it’s dielectic and silicone. 3M is a good one.
My question is, is anyone using these in overlander truck builds?
Does this work with a 24 v trolling motor and 12 v start battery ?
Yes! That’s what I have on my boat.
I'm about to have two batteries connected together can I just charge one will it charge the other through the existing wires battery wires
The battery charger that I installed in the video has three sets of leads that go to three individual batteries and it is meant to charge the batteries individually. In general if you have batteries connected in a parallel circuit you can charge multiple batteries with one charger..
@@ProWrenching I was searching for people who connect this to batteries in parallel so I'm guessing you don't really need the X3 if you're running them in parallel? I have three batteries on a 12 volt system all hooked up parallel so technically I only need one lead right?
@@phillipkuntze137 that is correct. You only need one charger to charge them all.
@@ProWrenching it's actually a good thing, now I can return the X3 and just get the one saves me 100 bucks LOL
Hey buddy, you say you have 3 batterys,are you running 24 vote on your trolling motor, if you are. How did you wire that up
Yes -I’m running 24V on my trolling motor. There are 3 leads for this charger- one for each battery. It will charge each battery indiv. at 12 volts, even if your trolling motor batteries are wired up for 24 volt. Just connect the positive and negative leads going to each battery as you normally would and it will charge each battery at 12 volts.
Kool thanks good luck fishing
Was this a 24 v system ? I have a 24 volt trolling motor
Yes- it works on a 24 volt system.
Can I connect the 36 volt system without disconnecting the batteries?
Did you have any problems with that charger. Ive had two replace mine under warranty twice.
Funny you should mention it--after our tournament last weekend, mine is starting to act up. I think one of the banks doesnt seem to be charging right. What issues have you had?
@ProWrenching two experiences with a bank stopped working on plug in on separate batteries. First time was a few days after started popping fuses on cranking battery. Sent back to factory and they sent me another one. Three months later one of the trolling motor batteries did the same thing. Just got the third one
@@charlesdonaldson2554 That’s unfortunate. Looks like I’ll be sending mine in, too
I got a question I have the same battery layout in my boat I have one acid battery for cranking and 2 acid for 24 volt teolling motor what's the difference between a 2 bank and 3 bank charger and can I use a 2 bank
And arent these chargers used to charger your trolling motor batteries while the big motor is running ?
You want the three bank charger so you can charge all three of your batteries at the same time. The three bank charger has individual leads that go to each battery. This allows you to charge the batteries individually at 12 V even when two of them are set up as 24 V for your trolling motor. You can select between lead acid or AGM batteries for each bank. A two bank charger will only allow you to charge two batteries. This battery charger will not charge your batteries unless it is plugged into an outlet. When you’re running your boat, the alternator on your boat engine will charge your cranking battery only, not your trolling motor batteries.
@@ProWrenching so will a 3 bank charger keep my trolling motor batteries charged as I run the big motor
@@dewaynesmith8925 no it only works when you have it plugged in at an outlet like in at your house or garage. If your trolling motor batteries are fully charged before you get out on the lake, they should have enough charge for you to use your trolling motor all day. If not, you may have bad batteries.
@@ProWrenching ok thanks alot for the info but that's what I thought onboard chargers did so my mistake thanks
@@ProWrenching do they even make onboard chargers like that that charge your trolling motor batteries while your big motor is running
So your trolling motor is 24 volts?
Yes
@@ProWrenching
Thanks it's kinda confusing because the wire going from the negative on one battery to the positive on the other making it 24 volts. It doesn't really make since in my head to connect the charger there. It does seem to be working thanks.
@@adamschmidt8083 Each individual battery is 12 V and can be charged as such, even if the leads to the trolling motor are hooked up in series, making it 24 V going to the trolling motor.
Mine keeps blowing fuses, just on 1 bank.
Try switching the lead that keeps blowing fuses to a different battery. That will help you determine if the problem is with the charger leads or battery/cables.
@@ProWrenching I did, I'm sure it's the NOCO. Never had this problem before. I wish I had bought a different brand now
What batteries do you recommend? I’ve read that optimas are Mexican garbage now
The Optimas on my boat were made in 2017 and still work good. I haven’t heard if the new ones have issues. I think the group 29 marine batteries from Walmart are the best bang for your buck.
The X2 is a offbrand odyssey battery. The 31 series is the one I run I have three of them two for the trolling motor one for the main motor and all the goodies. They’re only $50 cheaper than odysseys and are quite pricey at about $500 apiece and they are absolutely heavy bricks, but are probably the best AGM battery you can get on the market today.
Jesus Christ I need some Patient
Lol that’s funny at least you know. It’s been a year have you gained any?
