1. Introducció
The NOCO Genius GENPRO10X2 is a robust, fully-sealed onboard battery charger designed for marine environments. It provides 20 amps of total charging power, distributed as 10 amps per bank, allowing for independent charging and maintenance of two 12-volt batteries. This charger is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including lead-acid (flooded, AGM, gel) and lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries.
Les característiques clau inclouen:
- Compacte i potent: 19% smaller and 33% more powerful than its predecessor, the GEN2.
- Multi-Bank Charging: Independently charges two 12V batteries simultaneously.
- Versatile Charging Modes: Supports 12V, 12V AGM, 12V Lithium, and 12V Repair Mode.
- Precision Charging: Integrated thermal sensor adjusts charging based on ambient temperature to prevent overcharging or undercharging.
- Dead Battery Recovery: Can charge batteries as low as 1 volt, with a Force Mode to initiate charging on zero-volt batteries.
- Disseny durador: IP68 rated for waterproof protection, built to withstand harsh marine conditions.
- Fàcil instal·lació: Reengineered mounting system allows secure installation in various orientations.

3. Instal·lació
The GENPRO10X2 is designed for secure and flexible installation in marine or other suitable environments. Its reengineered mounting system allows for installation in any orientation, including upside down, and features an integrated anti-vibration backing to minimize shock and noise.
3.1 Muntatge del carregador
Select a suitable location for the charger, ensuring it is protected from direct exposure to extreme elements beyond its IP68 rating and has adequate ventilation. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the charger firmly in place. The anti-vibration base helps maintain stability.
3.2 Connecting to Batteries
The charger includes 72-inch DC cables with 3/8-inch eyelets for connecting to your batteries. Ensure proper polarity when connecting the eyelets to the battery terminals. The GENPRO10X2 is a two-bank charger, meaning it has two independent sets of DC cables, each designed to charge a separate 12V battery.

4.1 modes de càrrega
Each bank of the GENPRO10X2 operates independently and offers selectable charging modes:
- Mode 12 V: For 12V wet cell, gel, enhanced flooded, maintenance-free, and calcium batteries.
- Mode AGM de 12 V: Specifically for 12V AGM batteries.
- Mode de liti de 12 V: For 12V lithium-ion batteries (including lithium iron phosphate) with Battery Management Systems (BMS).
- 12V Repair Mode: Used to repair old, idle, damaged, stratified, or sulfated batteries.
To select a mode for a specific bank, press the 'MODE' button for that bank until the desired mode indicator illuminates.
4.2 Thermal Compensation
The GENPRO10X2 features an integrated thermal sensor that monitors ambient temperature. This allows the charger to automatically adjust its charging profile to prevent overcharging in hot conditions and undercharging in cold conditions, ensuring optimal battery performance and longevity.
