- Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2025Verified PurchaseThis maintainer is perfect to mount next to the battery (in the trunk) for our Miata. I used two-way tape to mount the bracket to the inside of the fender. It will be used during winter storage or during periods of the car not being driven to keep the battery conditioned.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 21, 2025Verified PurchaseI bought this trickle charger because I'm driving less these days. Even if I change my battery once it goes bad, my new driving habits will shorten the service life. This is a great way to keep my battery alive longer and now that it's part of the car it will work for any other battery that's installed.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2023Verified PurchaseAs an avid car enthusiast, maintaining the health and longevity of my vehicle's battery is of utmost importance to me. The NOCO GENIUS2D 2A Direct-Mount Intelligent Onboard Battery Charger has been an absolute game-changer in ensuring that my car battery stays charged and ready to go at all times. This intelligent onboard battery charger is specifically designed for 12V car batteries, and after using it for a while, I can confidently say that it is a fantastic investment for any car owner.
lug in
I live in Canada and we have cold winters where we need block heater to keep the engine warm in -30F nights. I Use a double plug-in and have both block heather and charger powered. This keeps the battery warm and powered up for starting.
Pros:
Easy Installation: The installation process was a breeze. Thanks to its direct-mount design, I was able to install the NOCO GENIUS2D charger directly onto my car's battery. The package came with clear instructions, and the whole process took only a few minutes.
Intelligent Charging: One of the standout features of this charger is its intelligence. The GENIUS2D is equipped with an advanced microprocessor that constantly monitors the battery's status and adapts the charging process accordingly. This ensures efficient charging, prevents overcharging, and helps extend the battery's lifespan.
Multi-Stage Charging: The charger utilizes a multi-stage charging process, which is excellent for battery maintenance. It starts with a gentle trickle charge to bring the battery up to a suitable voltage, then switches to a bulk charge phase, and finally, a maintenance phase that keeps the battery at an optimal level.
Versatility: While I primarily use it for my car, the GENIUS2D is also compatible with a wide range of other 12V lead-acid batteries, including marine batteries and deep-cycle batteries. This versatility is a huge plus, as it allows me to use it for other vehicles and equipment when needed.
Durable Build: The charger's build quality feels solid and durable. The rugged construction ensures that it can withstand the rigors of daily use and various environmental conditions.
Cons:
As with any product, there are a few minor drawbacks to consider:
Charging Speed: The NOCO GENIUS2D has a charging rate of 2 amps, which is sufficient for maintenance charging and ensuring the battery stays topped up. However, if you need to recharge a fully depleted battery quickly, you might need a charger with a higher amperage.
Mounting Location: While the direct-mount design is convenient, it might not be suitable for all vehicle types. Depending on the battery's location and the car's design, mounting it directly might be a challenge.
Conclusion:
The NOCO GENIUS2D 2A Direct-Mount Intelligent Onboard Battery Charger has proven to be a reliable and efficient tool for keeping my car's battery in optimal condition. Its intelligent charging capabilities, ease of installation, and overall performance make it an excellent choice for any car owner looking to extend the life of their 12V battery. Despite its slightly lower charging speed, the benefits it offers in battery maintenance far outweigh this minor limitation. I highly recommend the GENIUS2D for its top-notch quality and peace of mind it provides when it comes to the health of your vehicle's battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect to be mounted permanently.
Verified PurchaseThis little charger is perfect for a permanent mount. The clip that attaches to it uses Velcro, but I'm hoping that the charger itself lasts long enough that I have to replace the fabric strap.
The cables are short, which is what you want for something like this. The cord is accessible when I want to plug it in using an extension cord, and it's out of the way when I'm not using it. I don't have to worry about it getting tangled up with the other wiring or straps.
I have it mounted next to the trailer battery on my RV. It is directly connected to the battery so it can trickle charge while the battery is disconnected from the rest of the trailer. This is handy because sometimes when a trailer sits around the battery just gets drained down. If I've been using the jack a lot and my truck hasn't been connected long enough enough to fully recharge it, I just connect it to the outlet on the side of my trailer and let it charge from there whether my trailer is getting power from a utility or generator.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're hardwiring it in, you don't want a "cheap" charger, you want a good charger.
Verified PurchaseI own three of this exact model, and they've all been working perfectly for a couple years at this point. I have these wired into all of my vehicles which are driven only seasonally, and they've been great. When I park something that will be stationary for more than a month I just grab an extension cord, and plug the charger in, and then I have complete faith that the vehicle is going to re-start normally next time I want to use it. Even at full retail price for these, their ease of use and dependability makes them well worth the money being asked. I replaced too many cheap battery maintainers and batteries before I gave in and started buying name brand stuff, and I really wish I'd switched earlier. It doesn't take many failed automotive batteries caused by failed cheap chargers to vastly outweigh the price of just buying these good maintainers.
