Meet the GEN5X3 - Similar to our GENM3, only better. It's 37% smaller and delivers 43% more power. It's one of the best performing onboard marine battery chargers we have ever made.
Multiple banks - A three-bank onboard battery charger rated a 15-amps - 5-amps per bank - for 12-volt batteries, including marine, boat, starter, and deep-cycle batteries.
Charging modes - Independently charge and control each battery bank with selectable charging modes - including 12V, 12V AGM, 12V Lithium, and 12V Repair Mode - for all types of lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.
Enjoy precision charging - An integrated thermal sensor detects the ambient temperature and alters the charge to eliminate over-charging in hot climates and under-charging in cold climates.
Charge dead batteries - Charges batteries as low as 1-volt. Or use the all-new force mode that allows you to take control and manually begin charging dead batteries down to zero volts.
Redefined mounting - A simplified mounting system allows for quick and easy installations in any direction - even up-side-down - with an integrated anti-vibration backing to isolate shock, vibration, and noise.
Designed for water - A fully-sealed and waterproof onboard battery charger with an ingress protection rating of IP68, but has survived brutal life cycle testing, including thousands of hours underwater.
What's in the box - GEN5X3 15-amp 3-bank waterproof onboard marine battery chargers (120-240VAC) with a 72-Inch DC cables with 3/8-inch eyelets and a 72-inch Type-B AC cable, (2) self-tapping mounting screws, user guide, and 3-year warranty.

Title: Compact and durable enough to be an on board charger!
Review: Purpose:-Using this as an on board charger for my 36v 00' EZGO TXT Gold Cart.Charging:Three 12v Lithium LiFePO4 batteriesLocation:Mounted to the underside of the drivers seat.Note:Works very well at charging. When I initially used it (on new batteries) it took about 8hrs to get them all way charged. Slight warning that it did get pretty hot the first few hours. Ever since though, hasn't taken as long to charge because I haven't run them down that low yet. I do like that it will stop the charging on each individual battery when they are fully charged. It doesn't charge them all in a a few hours but it is plenty fast and leaps and bounds better than my old one.Impressions:CompactDurableSmartGets somewhat hotWorth the money**The electrical tape was a choice and not a necessity**

Title: great Li charger
Review: Last year we purchased Li batteries for my trolling motor. Didn't know that you need a Li charger too. I had a portable one but it needed to be switched to charge both batteries. This eliminated all the swapping hooking up and unhook each time I wanted to go fishing. It also charges my starting lead acid battery too all with only one plug. Works great! It also maintains all three batteries automatically and remembers the last setting, so I don't have to get into the boat each time I charge. Great value for the price. Install depends on your boat and how easy or hard it is to run wires. I did have to lengthen the wires to the starting battery as it is in the very back of the boat. The charger also tells you if you switched the wire polarity. I did have to install a switch between the two Li batteries. As this doesn't charge a 24V system but will charge each battery separately. Just need to remember to switch it back to 24V when using the trolling motor and then back to 2x 12V when charging.

Review: I really am a fan of this charger the repair feature worked great for me. I took 2 deep cycle batteries that wouldnât hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

Title: IMPORTANT :does not work if you intend to extend the linkage wiring to the battery..
Review: I did not like that. There was no notifications in the paperwork, as to the fact that you cannot extend the linkage wiring between the box unit and the battery. And trying to do this unit would not handshake with the battery, I was only talking about an 8 foot extension with number 14 gauge wire. However, after shortening it back to the norm, the unit charge the battery fine. This is an important factor because Location of the hard box is important to get to in order to make selections on the screen.

Title: Straight forward installation.
Review: Works well. Had to run extra lines to my starting battery at the end of the boat. Be aware that NOCO recommends leaving the fuse at the charger when splicing line in. I added a second fuse at the battery to protect it. No issues so far with the charger. Also installed a NOCO waterproof plug that made it easy to plug the charger in, a must for pontoon owners.

Review: I waited two seasons of charging before this review. I have multiple battery types and different requirements for charging and storing batteries charged and ready for use. This unit is literally plug and play, safe and incredibility reliable for keeping the batteries not only charged but conditioned while in storage over the winter. Highly recommend.
