AGM batteries are still lead-acid batteries. It’s just that traditional lead-acid batteries have the electrolyte liquid (which is a mixture of acid and water) freely flowing around the battery plates. Charge dead batteries - Charges dead batteries as low as 1-volt. Or use the all-new Force Mode that allows you to take control and manually begin charging dead batteries down to zero volts. Well, it’s all to do with the construction of AGM batteries, which differ significantly to traditional lead-acid batteries. We deliver to Most areas within the UK Mainland. For offshore UK islands please call 0800 195 98 97 as charges will apply.

The GENIUS 10UK is a 6-volt and 12-volt battery charger, battery maintainer and battery desulfator rated at 10-amp for lead-acid automotive, marine and deep-cycle batteries, including flooded, gel, AGM and maintenance-free, plus lithium-ion batteries. Genius clamps are built with needle nose profiles for smaller terminal applications and detachable integrated eyelets for permanent mounting the accessory to battery. Designed to fit battery terminals of any shape and size. Engineered for improved clamping range, clamping force, and higher conductivity.And for charging AGM batteries, that right amount of charge is different to other batteries, as we know. AGM Charge Voltage for CTEK Chargers Meet the GENIUS 10UK – Similar to our G7200, just better. It’s 17% smaller and delivers 115% more power. And it’s simpler and easier to use than ever before. Can it rescue every single battery, every single time? That’d be a no. If the battery plates have been mechanically damaged somehow, or the battery has been compromised chemically then pretty much no force on heaven or Earth can help it! That won’t be the case most of the time, though. For the vast majority of people 12V Repair Mode will do the job. Most of our online products include VAT and FREE Delivery to the UK Mainland only. We pay our couriers for a next working day service. Sometimes (although rarely) courier issues can delay parcels, so please allow up to 48 hours for delivery. Please see above for extra charges. Finally a charger from start to finish that is completely automatic. No special modes, no technical knowledge required. Genius will safely charge any battery. Detect damaged batteries and intuitively repair them. And actively monitor for long term battery maintenance and extend battery life. This system allows for continuous operation without user intervention, and zero risk of overcharging your battery.

Since most normal lead-acid batteries charge at this lower voltage, this is what most battery chargers are designed to deliver, rather than the higher voltage required by AGM batteries. These two are by far the biggest battery charger makers and most importantly they have AGM Modes. Unlike some makers, these modes have genuinely been built for AGM batteries, so you need not have any safety concerns.

About NOCO

And they have the best desulfation modes. These have the genuine ability to significantly lengthen battery life. AGM batteries are not the cheapest – so these CTEK and NOCO battery chargers could end up saving you money, if your battery does last 2 or 3 times longer, as is possible. All the most up-to date safety protections you’d expect. We like the thermal compensation feature, adjusting the charge according to ambient temperature. This prevents under or over charging. Any warranty? identity elements after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the The GENIUS 10 automatically detects sulfation/acid stratification. If any is found, the GENIUS 10 will automatically repair and reverse the damage done to the battery, extending the usable life and increasing the performance. That’ll be 12V Repair Mode. This is effectively a desulfator (AKA battery conditioner) function – it removes sulfation from your battery.

Many chargers simply state: “works with most battery types” or “works with all lead-acid battery” or “suitable for most lead-acid batteries”. Flooded batteries have a liquid electrolyte (mixture of battery acid and water) which is free to flow around the battery. People with other battery types may get away with using less reputable brands, but you need to be sure your battery charger is genuinely okay for AGM batteries.Do more with Genius - Designed for 6-volt and 12-volt lead-acid automotive, marine, and deep-cycle batteries, including flooded, gel, AGM, and maintenance-free, plus lithium-ion batteries. A major advantage is that you’re 100% safe to chargeAGM batteries, as well as Calcium batteries. Both these battery types require special charging. How about compared to other NOCO Genius models?

Along with its battery chargers and starters, NOCO still makes battery corrosion preventative just as it has done for a hundred years. The compound is formulated to create a chemical barrier around the terminal surfaces, making them impenetrable to corrosion causing acid fumes. By doing so, the compound can extend battery life and preserve the overall condition of the battery, even the cables and battery box.

AGM batteries lose charge much more slowly and are more stable. Different Construction = Different Charging Needs If your charger doesn’t say specifically it’s made for AGM batteries, or doesn’t have an AGM Mode, then you shouldn’t use it on AGM batteries. Simple to set up and use - Plug-in, connect to the battery, select a charge mode, and start charging your battery. A fully-automatic, worry-free battery charger for year-round use.
