I tend to drive my cars every chance I get, so the alternator/generator has always sort of been my defacto battery tender. A few years back, however, I started spending quite a bit of time away from home and as a result, my cars sat for longer periods of time. Initially, I used a Deltran Battery Tender and had nothing but issues. Of the three I bought four years ago, two no longer work at all and I simply don’t trust the other.
So, what’s next? Around the same time my first tender gave up the ghost, I was helping a buddy with his car collection. My man has great taste and has been successful enough to realize a lot of visions. As such, he has a shitload of cars and a ton of experience testing battery tenders. In six years, he hasn’t had a single Noco fail of the 33 that he owns.
So, I bought a Noco Genius 10. As soon as I unboxed the damned thing, I could tell it was made better than the unit by Deltran… But it also just seems smarter and of the three I now I own, I haven’t had a single failure.
I don’t know anybody at Noco and they certainly aren’t paying me for a review. I just tripped over one in my shop about ten minutes ago and figured it was a sign to sing the praises. So, here I am… You’re mileage may vary, but I recommend them for sure.
Details here. Amazon has them as well, but I found a coupon code to buy from Noco direct and it’s a bit cheaper. Just use “CRT15” at checkout and you get 15% off. Again, not sponsored or affiliated. In fact, I’d actually make a little money if you bought from Amazon.
