Batteries are complicated. Very few people understand the complexities surrounding a battery and therefore it is impossible to know how to properly diagnose and maintain every type of battery.

When it comes to your car, boat, RV, ATV, or anything else hiding in your garage we've got a solution for you to keep your battery complexities to a minimum. Allow us to introduce you to the Genius Chargers from NOCO.

These efficient battery chargers are the best way to keep your battery in top shape between seasons. Whether you are trying to extend the life of your battery or just keep it in shape during the cold winter months these Genius chargers are the perfect solution.

The small size and light weight allows for them to be used in tight spaces. With such a compact design it is easy to keep one of these chargers in the boat, in the car, or in a toolbox. You'll never have to worry about a dead battery again because these chargers will diagnose, recover, charge, and maintain

We are often asked if we sell chargers as well as batteries and what charger we would recommend with a customers battery purchase.

To answer the first question: YES we offer a full line of smart chargers for motorcycles, golf carts,cars, trucks, mobility scooters rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and specialty applications. Our technicians are ready to answer any question to help ensure you receive the best unit for your application.

The answer to the second question is not as easy. The short answer: IT DEPENDS. We would first have to size the charger to safely meet the needs of your application. Selecting the appropriate smart charger is important if you want to extend the life of your battery and not cause premature death when you thought you were doing the right thing. Bigger is not necessarily better and smaller does not necessarily mean safer.

Part 2 of the answer can be directed towards the best name brand and features catered to specific applications and user demands.

Americans losing jobs to overseas workers and products becoming assembled in other countries rather than our own has meant some financial hardships for those who have lost their jobs or can’t find work.

Technology seems to be getting more so-called “bells and whistles” that go beyond basic features all the time. It seems like if you buy something like a new camera or laptop today, there is already a new and improved model on the market tomorrow—or at least it sure seems that way. Designers continue to scramble to find ways to entice consumers to buy their latest models, with features. While many of them are quite exciting and hold great appeal, the downside to it all is the increased drain on batteries.
