- Peter H.NOCO GENIUS5 compared to Schumacher SP1296I've used Schumacher SP1296 trickle chargers for many years now, on multiple vehicles and pieces of equipment. Recently I switched all of them to the NOCO GENIUS5 and it's better in every way!
On all of the Schumacher chargers I've had, (and that's been a LOT of them) the cord has eventually frayed and broken where it exits the charging unit. On the NOCO, the cord has a rubber reinforcement where it exits the unit, extending the life of the cord. I've included photos of the NOCO (black) and the Schumacher (red) for reference. The Schumacher chargers I've had were dependable and functioned well, but their cord design was a major design flaw for me. Multiple times, It forced me to replace the units before I should have needed to buy new ones.
The NOCO is slightly heavier and more compact in size than the Schumacher. The control has more functions and is easy to use. The NOCO display is aesthetically more pleasing and easier to read than the Schumacher. The NOCO also has an on/off switch which is nice. I always use the eyelets to connect to the battery. The charger connection to the eyelet cord has a click type plug to lock it in place, unlike the Schumacher which just presses together. Should you want to use the battery clips, the NOCO clips are bigger and stronger than those on the Schumacher.
The only negative aspect of the NOCO that I found was that, according to their user manual, "This product is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -4°F and 104°F". This has not been a problem for me, even when used outside in northern Vermont. It does get below zero here, but typically not for extended periods of time. As long as the charger is kept on the battery, and it's always fully charged, that temperature limitation hasn't been an issue for me.
Overall, the NOCO GENIUS5 appears to be a higher quality and better built charger than the Schumacher SP1296. I am very satisfied with their product, and I highly recommend it. - D. HooperExcellent Charger, Easy to Use - Would HIGHLY RecommendI've used a number of different battery chargers over the years and this is by far the best one. I live in the middle of the US with hot weather in the summer and cold weather in the winter. Since I can't drive much due to medical issues my battery will not have enough juice to start my car (12v lead acid battery) and it's so easy to connect this for 1-2 hours and it's ready to go. My concern when I bought it as the size but it's great how well it works. It's a small device and is very accurate detecting how much charge my battery has. Also, a couple of times battery was dead and it was excellent.
- MarkBWell worth purchasing.This is one of the best chargers I have ever had. It is small (light in weight), yet very powerful. It has options for lithium, or regular batteries, and different voltage. I was so surprised to find that it repaired my battery that was damaged (unsure why it was damaged), and it worked incredibly well. It also will not allow overcharging -- a very nice feature. Cords are long enough so no need to worry about that. The indicator lights tell you where it is in the charging process, so that is really nice, and turns green when it has completed the process.
- dh135Great product - works as advertisedI had a prior trickle charger that just up and stopped working. By the time I realized it, the car battery was dead. Like totally dead. Well, I researched products to restore the battery and recharge it and decided to purchase this one. I followed the instructions on plugging it in, but with a dead battery, I kept my hopes in check. Well, the product lived up to its hype - in less than 1 day my battery was back to full charge and the car cracked over first try! I have it connected now since we don't drive that car very often and this is a smart trickle charger so I feel like it will maintain the battery better. Easy to use and definitely built in safety. The status lights are great too. Definitely worth the money. Would buy again.
- PrimaReliable and Efficient Battery Charger but no Instruction Guide IncludedThe NOCO GENIUS5 does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It charges my older vehicle’s battery quickly and efficiently. I noticed it works faster and more reliably than the cheaper charger I own. It’s is more compact, well-built, and feels like a quality product that’s designed to last.
However, I do wish it came with an instruction guide explaining its functions and indicators. As someone who isn’t particularly knowledgeable about cars, having clear instructions would have made things easier. My cheaper charger actually came with a very helpful guide, so I was a bit surprised that this one didn’t. I ended up having to look online to make sure I was using it correctly and safely. Another thing I notice is that the button is not as intuitive. There's a delay when pressing the button. That said, once I understood how it worked and managed my patience, it performed flawlessly. I just wish the user guidance matched the quality of the device itself.
