Re: Anyone have experince with Noco Genius chargers and FRC batteries?

Thanks, Al. That looks like a great charger, especially if mounted on a wheeled charging station with holders for 6 batteries.

Agreed, adding SB50 plugs is a must. We've always done that with all our chargers. I can't count how many problems it avoids over the years. Since most chargers come with smaller leads, it helps to get the right crimp connectors for the SB50. AndyMark only sells the #6 connectors, which makes for an unreliable connection on the #12 to #16 wire that is common on chargers.
