Thanks to NOCO's smart design, the GEN3 charges batteries two times faster than traditional linear battery chargers do. An intelligent VosFX processor constantly monitors the power input, the attached battery, and the charger itself. As a result, you can achieve longer battery life and improved battery capacity.

Rugged, Waterproof Housing for Harsh Environments

The NOCO GEN3 on-board battery charger features a fully sealed, waterproof housing that makes it well suited for harsh on-board charging environments. The product has an ingress protection rating of IP68. It also meets ISO 8846 marine standards and U.S. Coast Guard Title 33 CFR 183.410 ignition-protection requirements.

Simple and Safe to Use

When designing its battery chargers, NOCO puts your safety first. The company's chargers are fortified with several unique safety features to protect you, your battery, and the charger itself. Included are built-in protections against reverse polarity, short circuits, open circuits, sparks, overheating, overcurrents, overcharging, and abnormalities.

Worry-Free Operation

Just plug in the NOCO GEN3 on-board battery charger and forget about your batteries. NOCO's revolutionary smart processor uses sophisticated levels of intelligence to alter the battery-charging process so you don't have to.

Advanced Eight-Step Charging Process

The NOCO GEN3 on-board battery charger uses an eight-step process to charge and maintain your battery. First, it checks your battery's voltage to make sure that the connections are good and that the battery is in stable condition before beginning the charge process. Second, it begins a bulk-charging process with a gentle (soft) charge. The process then continues and returns 80 percent of the battery's capacity. Next, it switches to a constant current charge rate to bring your battery close to a 90 percent charge, then charges a low current levels until the battery has reached 95 percent of its capacity. From there, the charger initiates a top-off charge to bring the battery to 100 percent. Finally, the GEN3 shuts off but constantly monitors your battery by providing a gentle charge every 24 hours for maximum battery life.

The NOCO GEN3 on-board battery charger is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

54 of 54 people found the following review helpful So far, the reviews dont lie!, February 13, 2012 By  Lukethadrifter - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: NOCO GEN3 NOCO Genius Black 12-36V 3-Bank 30A On-Board Battery Charger (Automotive) Recently purchased this to replace a 2 bank 5 amp charger. Does everything as advertised. Leave it plugged in and walk away. If you are looking to buy a 3 bank charger for your boat, dont pay 300 or even 400 bucks for the ones at bass pro shops or cabelas. This one does everything the higher priced models do for 145 bucks. Obviously, durability is not known yet but if it lasts 5-10 years, I will be happy. As for the knucklehead who gave this a one star rating because it dont charge "36 volt" batteries, only "12"...........are you kidding me?? three 12 volt batteries make 36 volts!!! It charges all three at the same time......wow........

This review is from: NOCO GEN3 NOCO Genius Black 12-36V 3-Bank 30A On-Board Battery Charger (Automotive) Great product. Easy to install with the three leads to the batteries. No noise or hum in use. Wish I would have had this product before I over charged my batteries in the boat. I hooked this to the old charger leads and it works fine. If I want to super charge the batteries for a short period of time I turn on the old 80 amp charger.
