Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The NOCO GENIUS10 is a 10-amp smart charger, maintainer, trickle charger and desulfator, listed at £117.89 with 4.5 stars from 1,674 ratings. It takes third place in this guide, and it is the only unit here whose own specification table disagrees with its own headline: the title and the bullet points promise 6V and 12V charging, while the table's Output Voltage row reads "12 Volts (DC)" and says nothing about 6 volts.
The same table repeats the 10-amp figure in two separate rows (Current Rating and Amperage, both "10 Amps") and gives a Battery Charge Time of "1 Hours" for a 10-amp charger - a figure the listing never ties to a battery size. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing: the price, the rating and every specification row are as the seller published them, not the result of any testing by us.
