- Noco Genius 1 is an entry level battery charger from the well known and respected NOCO company who is known to be the leader in battery chargers.
I am truly impressed by this tiny and very effective battery charger.
For the price, features and how good it is compared to my Harbor Freight Viking more expensive charger, this NOCO Genius 1 is amazing.

Thanks!
It's works ...
I enjoyed your commentary with the other info, thank you!
Great review was looking for a great value battery charger, your video answered it.
This is a great battery charger probably the best under $30 - Thanks!
Yes, the company NOCO makes the best battery chargers! I was wondering how good their cheapest charger is, good to know it is very good as well. Thanks
I live in a place where power outages sometimes arrive by surprise.
I was planning to get a Sealed Lead Acid battery (or similar) with a small inverter, to power some lights and fans during a power outage, and I was wondering how can I keep a battery charged all the time in case of emergencies but won't overcharge/ruin the battery. Also shouldn't use a lot of electricity during it's 'maintaining charge' stage when it's full.
Can I use this at home to keep a batt constantly charged, in case of power outages? But won't overcharge my batt?
Was wondering about which battery charger to buy, your review was useful. thanks
@3:50 This is REALLY good info to know about this charger, i was expecting it to be faster, but after learning more about it and how it charges its i feel fine about it. for the price you cant beat it !! im running a Optima red top and it was at about 3.5v. after charger for 18 hours its at 7.2v.
it was super dead.... but it is bring it back to live slowly !!
I heard you had to have these smart chargers to truely charge the AGM batteries fully and properly
so far so good! now i think im gunna buy some of those leads i can hook up to the bettery while its in the car so i can just plug it in when its parked
Thanks for your video! I just bought a noco battery charger!
I bought this charger because Amazon could literally deliver it within 7 hours. It was 9pm on a Saturday night. Sure enough 4:15am and there it was. I’ve charged everything from riding mower batteries all the way up to deep cycle marine batteries and this thing performs very well. One of my most valued gadgets. $30 bucks well spent.
I did too, arrived within hours!
I liked this little charger so much, I purchased the Noco Genius 10 amp. I had to purchase a new motorcycle battery because the old one would not hold a charge, and so bought this 1 amp charger for my new lithium battery. For grins and giggles, I hooked up the 10 amp charger to my old defective 12V AGM motorcycle battery, put it on repair mode, and don’t ya know? It charged up fine. Ran it down to local auto parts store, they checked it out, ran a load test and PERFECT! Car has been sitting in my garage close to a year with dead battery. Hooked the NOCO 10amp, repair mode, few hours later…FIXED! Contacted NOCO and asked about warranty for their chargers bought on Amazon. No problem, it’s covered under warranty. YMMV, but I’m sold on them. Most I ever got out of Battery Tender was a couple years max, and have been through a few of them.
This is a bad ass battery charger!!!
Useful video just bought noco genius 1
I had a dead 200ah gel battery reading 3v. This charger got it up to 12v in a few hours and then I was able to put it on a 10 amp charger to get it to full capacity. Great charger.
Do u have to keep plugged into wall when charging battery
Bought this for trolling motor battery will this work on a 12v 100ah battery?
found this for $8 at goodwill just now and works.i love it so far
$8? Wow 🤩
Does it work for car batteries that just need a jump ?
Great explanation thanks
I had a great product reliable experience at a right price.
Thank you!
Thanks for this video!! I've got my 12v AGM on the charger now!
Fantastic!
Hey there guys I was wondering if you can tell me about this charger. Is this supposed to be connected to the battery all the time or just until it gets fully charge?
Even though the battery is connected to the motorcycle that has a camera and parking sensor which is on all the time
Do you know if this has a feature to maintain flooded 12v battery type? if yes what type you should be using for it?
I have a power inverter that the battery sat too long. It only took 2 minutes for the Viking to recognize it. I put it in repair mode. The next day, the battery was up. Does a great job!
Good to heat that?
Looking for the main answer
Did it work, when you put an actual load on it ?
I have a Dodge Challenger srt8 that I don’t drive during the winter months. Will this suffice as to hold a slow charge throughout the winter .?
Great review, thanks
Nice review I just hooked up my new AGM ATV battery to my NOCO charge have this exact one. Hope it doesn’t take 48 hrs… Lol! TY for the review!
It might, this charges at 1 amp, which is very very slow. This is more or a maintainer than a charger... You can find better faster chargers for sure, this is just a very budget friendly quality maintainer
I really liked your video, it’s been a year since your post, what is your thoughts on charger after 1 year. Thanks Paul
Does this stay plugged in or charge it up and use it?
You have to have the battery hooked up to find the mode, this is a great little charger to maintain a battery if you don’t use it much , I bought it for one of my dirt bikes that I don’t ride much and got tired of buying a lithium battery every time I wanted to ride , this little charger is perfect for that
For future reference, you're supposed to connect the charger to the Battery BEFORE you plug in the AC Adapter, thats what it says to do in the manual anyway.
And keep in mind this only charges at 15w 1Amp, so depending on the state of the battery it can take DAYS to charge the battery.
Simply the best, easy to use charger you can buy. Literally clamp the red clip to the red terminal, then black to black. Now, plug it in, and you are done. It is not fast, but what's the hurry? You plug it in after work, and by the next morning, the square light in the middle is either green (fully charged) or still red. If red, go to work, come home later, and plug it in again. By the next morning, the light is almost certainly green. If you don't drive a lot on weekends, plug this thing in Friday evening, and on Monday morning that little light will be green and your battery will feel brand new.
Is the Viking is for a flooded battery and you were using the AGM setting on the NOCO? What type of battery were you charging?
Your video helped me choose which battery charger to buy, useful! thanks
been using the battery tender 1.25A, but been looking for another/something newer. I plan on getting this one
Thank you
Great review, I was wondering how good is this NOCO Genius 1 at under $30
I haven’t had mine very long the box was open upon delivery i’d say it works great lil slow for the bigger batteries 25 hours or more if it’s low. However it doubles as a tender after it charges (cables sold separately) if it’s on sale it’s more than worth the money you won’t be disappointed
I the battery is dead already.
Just I need to operate my small car?
Is this useful?
I had a Genius 2 supplying the AGM battery on my ONAN standby generator. Generally it worked okay for a couple of days and then went to sleep and allows the battery to discharge. It worked okay as long as I unplugged it for a few seconds every couple of days. That was okay for 6 months or so but then it started not to recognize that the battery was fully charged and started boosting the voltage up to the 14's which had already killed one AGM battery. I replaced it with my NOCO Genius 5 and it is okay for now, but I don't see a NOCO in my long term stand by charging future.
AGM batteries are designed to require 14.6v - 14.8v when performing a full charge from a state of discharge, whereas standard lead acid batteries need 13.8v - 14.4v, hence this is what most onboard chargers are designed to deliver - not the 14.6v - 14.8v that AGM requires.
Thank you.
How can you tell what kind of battery you have? i.e. lithium or agm. I can read anything on the battery case that would tell me.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
I find that reading the manual first helps.
@7:50 the reason you couldn’t select a mode is because there was nothing connected before you plugged in the charger. Instructions clearly state to make all your connections first, and then plug the charger in.
Apparently he couldn't read the instructions in the manual. I cut the video off right after that point ... hell, I could have done that on my own!!! Nope ... not following this guy ... forget it!!!
I connect it per instructions and it just flashes red and green for a few minutes then shuts off. Instructions Don’t even mention what that means. It tells you to press and hold for 3seconds. When I do that it goes to the next battery mode, which is wrong for me. They may think this one button set up is simple, but it’s confusing. I am now tempted to use another brand with separate on/off and mode selector buttons.
@@Prolificposter Which light is flashing red and which light is flashing green, and what type battery are you trying to charge? Sounds like you entered FORCE MODE by holding the down the MODE button for 5 seconds or longer, and then chose a mode (I.e. 12v, 12v AGM, Lithium). In FORCE MODE, the Charge Mode LED (item 1 in the NOCO manual diagram) and Charge LED (Item 5 in the diagram ) will alternately flash, indicating Force Mode is active. It might be shutting off because of a protective circuit, or the unit or something with the battery is defective.
Holding down the MODE button for 3 seconds is for one thing, and one thing only, and that is to enter 6V mode. You know you have done it right when the last LED on the right of the MODE row lights up white. It’s possible you have a defective unit. NOCO has a good warranty, and/or return it where you purchased it, or call or online chat. They are very helpful.
I have a 2011 Dodge avenger. Which setting should I use for the noco genius 1?
I would guess AGM mode.
Thanks for the video. If I'm not sure whether the 12v battery is AGM or not, does it matter whether I choose the regular 12v mode or the AGM mode to charge the battery? Thanks!
Most car batteries are agm no vehicle runs on lithium unless it's an EV
Either or will do just dont do lithium
it took you two days to charge because its supposed to trickle slow charge used when you store a battery/car.if you want a fast charge thats not this device purpose and would want somthing that pushes over 8amps.the noco puts out 1amp
can anyone help? mine doesnt turn green led on , it did in the first month and never again, only flauctates on red, sometimes i find it turned off, can you help?
what is the diff between 12V and 12V AGM? i have ordinary battery of vespa, which mode will i choose
Agm ate sealed batteries. Agm do not have servicable opening / caps on top of the battery. Agm can not burp (let go off gas / air). 12v means traditional lead acid batteries.
Agm are sealed batteries. Agm do not have servicable opening / caps on top of the battery. Agm can not burp (let go off gas / air). 12v means traditional lead acid batteries.
thank you. so i will stick to 12v only, because i think my battery is just ordinary with life span of 2-3yrs
@@DIYGEEKTEXAS Thank you!
Can you use an extension cord or does it have to be directly into a wall plug
I have a wall plug that is awkward to plug this thing into. So I just use an outdoor extension cord. It works fine.
Good review, but if I bought a Noco charger it would be a Noco Genius 5 or 10 as it has a repair mode that sends 16 volt spikes to the battery to desulfate it. I also like Pulsetech chargers and desulfators, PulseTech uses a patented frequency to desulfate a battery and states that it can extend the battery life up to three times using a PowerPulse passive desulfator attached to the battery in the vehicle.
I've had mine plugged in over night and it's still slowly flashing red ?
Shouldn't my car battery be charged by now?
I noticed that you said it took 48 hours to complete the charge, I'll give it another day and see where it's at tomarrow..plus I just popped the caps open on the battery to let it burp incase it needs to.
Edit: I just subscribed 🤙
I resent the fact they are calling this a battery charger. False advertising in my opinion. This little thing can only deliver 1 amp max, so if you have a battery that has a 300 amp hour capacity, expect it to take approximately 300 hours to charge. That being said, it is a really good battery maintainer. I've used it on my RV to maintain the coach batteries, which are large capacity deep cycle batteries, and it has done fine with them.
@@humunguswarrior I hear you.
It took 2 and a half days to charge my car battery, but it did..eventually so as long as I'm not in a hurry it's all good.
And yes, I originally bought it as a tender so for the money it's a good little unit.
Thanks for your input!🤙
How long was it plugged in before the light came on
The light (some color) will show within 15 seconds or less.
Do you think this would work on a 2006 Mercedes’ Benz e350?
Yes I am sure it would charge your 2006 Mercedes’ Benz e350 battery
It works on my 2009 c300
Can use Genius 1 the battery still connected in vehicle?
Yes. It is, after all a maintainer. They wouldn’t expect you to disconnect your battery from the vehicle every time you plugged it in to maintain the battery.
Wow! This was too long to explain, First: you didn't even read the manual, Second: You suppose too hook it up to the battery first, Positive first, then Negative, and then plug in the Noco. I give you a thump up for trying, but next time, read the manual first. I know this was a unboxing, but act like you know what you are doing, because people can look at this, and say, I could have done this.
Will this work on my 2005 acura tl battery?
It will work on all batteries pretty much just slower. But shower is better with batteries actually
How about the accessories? I have a Camaro that I never drive and would like easy connects so that I can leave it plugged in without having to use the clamps for the battery - do they have something like that?
No.
@@Ironfangzu yes they do. I have it setup now like I stated.
I have a toy car in the back garage. It’s a model year 2000 with about 16k miles on it. Some years it doesn’t get driven at all. What I do is simply remove one of the cables from the battery post which I guess breaks the circuit and then just reconnect it when I want to drive. Mind that it’s a fair weather toy that only gets driven 3 season. I’ve never had it not fire up right away.
Just bought one for our motorhome. Battery keeps draining need to figure out the draw. It’s 5‘yrs old 😢
can you check tire air pressure with this
It’s a battery charger-no.
I need to move a car like 100 feet but it has a very dead battery. On a multimeter it reads .8 , will I be able to charge the battery with this charger, even if it doesn't last, just to move the car? I really don't want to buy a battery, just to get this car out of the way. Was going to try using this charger for 24hrs, and then use a jump pack to get it fired up. Just wondering if this battery is too shot to get any life out of it. Thanks for the vid
With a battery this close to dead, you will probably have to have the thing plugged in for 48 hours. But it should power the battery back up so that it can start the car, and you can move it the 100 ft. It's only $30, so that beats buying a new battery for sure.
How do u know if u have a 12v or 12v agm battery?
It should be indicated on the battery.
is it also a jumper?
No this is just a battery charger not a jumper / starter
@@growingplantstimelapse5820 thank you!
Be aware that a 1 amp battery charger is not optimal for a car or truck battery. It's more suited for a motorcycle. What it will do, is maintain the battery, so that it does not completely deplete. Keep in mind that all batteries have a service life. If that battery is at the end of it's useful life, no battery charger will renew it. No battery can last forever. If you have a motorcycle, car, or truck that you don't drive a lot, this device will be just right. Keep the battery plugged in between drives. If you have some old, dead battery; don't expect this device to make that battery new again. The other thing to note, is that while you may be able to charge a battery - that battery may not hold a charge. I've personally seen batteries reach a full charge state, only for it to rapidly deplete once placed into service.
Will it work in a pickle? I'm on solar and five Amos is too much for.my.sytem.
Thanks for killing my hopes pile.
Yep I had a 9 year old battery in my going to town pickup. Bought this maintainer and got a few more years out of the battery before it finally completely died and wouldn't take any charge
16ah headway lithium takes about 10 hours to charge from 12 up to 14.3 volts. It's definitely not fast hahahaha
@@deantoniothurmond5320 buy it anyhow! It will work fine.
i use noco genius 2 its work
You call this a review? I could have learned everything you said just by reading the instructions and using it. Is it a good product? Does it charge well? Did you test it on a dead battery? Why do you like or dislike it?
Mine doesn't light up when connect to AC power. It then lights up when it comes out of the AC socket. Why the hell is it doing this?
Wait! At 305 which was your hand?
... 😳.... 😝
So, does the battery have to be out of the car to charge?
Yes, it is better for the battery to be disconnected from the car, especially for its maintenance features. However I would not be surprised if NOCO Genius 1 can detect if car/truck is still connected and it will probably just try to charge the battery only.
Can this be used as a tender?
Yes this noco is a great battery tender
Use your link and subscribed thanks!
Thank you for your support!
Is this a portable charger or does it have to be plugged in.
You have to plug it in a a outlet.
I’d probably start by reading the manual rather than winging it when dealing with batteries….
Reading manual first is always a good idea
I would have, if a hired hand hadn't threw away the box and everything
He is now a Unhired Hand

Can this battery charger charge motorcycle battery
Yes it can charge your motorcycle battery, most motorcycles, cars, trucks batteries are just 12 volt batteries.
but will it work if you're stranded on the road and the battery is still in the car and not on the garage floor?
Well if your on the side of the road broke down,, then how/where would you plug the Norco battery charger into?🤔
😂
Excuse me, it is all Chinese. but that is not to take-away this is a superior product. Its functionality & versatility place it at #1 spot.
Could you leave the battery in the car and use this device under the hood as a trickle charger?
That's mostly how it's used. I have an older car that during the winter seems to be struggling a bit. I used this charger, clamp the clips right to the battery under the hood, and in 36-48 hours the light turns green and the battery now starts the car with power to spare.
@@Ironfangzu did you run an extension cord out to the car for this device? I would need to run a 50’ extension cord to reach my car. Thx
Mines been on for 3 days. Still charging 😞
Its a 'trickle' charger. 1amp. If you want it faster get 4 6 or 8amps
I charged my battery for over a week and never got charged. What do you think is the problem?
It is probably a defective battery you may want to de sulfate it. Drain exiting water, refill with clean distilled water and desulfate at least 2 times. Replace the water again. And then try to recharge.
@@DIYGEEKTEXAS it is gel battery.
@@kevinbhar9210 Gel batteries are basically sealed lead-acid batteries. They do not have to be maintained, but that also mean you can not try to replace the gel or water. Basically one damaged you can not fix them yourself.

What’s Agm mean?
Absorbant Glass Mat
So this model doesn’t “repair”?
No the NOCO 1 battery charger does not have REPAIR functionality.
Your video is so clear and you speak clearly. Great job and great video.
6:10: "The alligator clip is pretty good, not like those Chinese cheap clip..." But, NOCOs are made in China!!😂
I've watched videos where they used deionized water to prep the battery before charging. Perhaps that's why it took you that long.
Good video but batteries can be sitting on the concrete floor
A little more preparation and reading would have made this sound more professional.
Why don't you read the manual before making the video. The reason it took so long is because the Noco Genius 1 is only a 1Amp charger. For a car battery you need the Genius 5. 🙄
💥💥 That little thing will charge a dead car battery.?? 🤟🏼 The biggest turn off is that it has the plug prongs on the back vs having a typical cable and prongs like most devices that plug into a wall or extension chord.
No not s dead car battery. More like motorcycle, lawn mower etc
The 2 amp noco has what you want
It took so long to charge because it's only outputting 1 amp at 12 volts. It's not meant to fully charge any battery in one day...
Today 24.95. Just opened mine 29.95 it ....tell u later
You should have the battery on a piece of cardboard at the least or even an old t shirt lol
Fuckin that battery by letting it sit directly on concrete
Glad yours works. Mine did for a while, then a month or so later, and it will not charge. And this is testing multiple batteries from daily driver cars.
So I bought another one off Amazon, and right out of the box, same thing. Will not charge. You push the button and it just stays on standby.
And yes, the connections are good. The batteries are good I know, because I drive the cars. Even in force mode it will only flash green and red. No charging.
I know how to get it out of the box tell me how to charge my car!
Why make a video if you don't know anything about it. You had not even read the manual or have any experience with it...
Read the manual before you make a video
Whos Manuel?
he’s doing an unboxing video
Should you not read the instructions first?
Definitely not Chinese good quality
I won't be buying a Noco as long as they use their proprietary connector.
