The G3500 is $57.59. I think I paid $50 for it on Prime day a few years ago, so that's a pretty good price.

have this unit as well, very pleased with it.

The NOCO Genius G3500 is $61.19 and G7200 is $98.59 right now at Amazon. You guys think this is a good price? Which one would you guys recommend?

IMASA 12-11-2018 06:06 AM

Another sale on Noco's on Amazon.ca. The G3500 is $52.

DJ Milk 12-11-2018 08:24 AM

Thanks. Damn the G7200 was also a lightning deal at $84 but it’s all gone. Bought the G3500 since the lightning deal is still available.

careful with the Noco wires during freezing temperatures,i heard reviews say it gets kinda weak when its frozen out there...I believe'em cause it kinda reminds me of speaker wire compared to heavy duty jumper cables.

Probably an Amazon Lightning deal. I want to get a GB40 as well and missed the deal 2 days ago at $103.

On Amazon right now the G3500 is $58 and G7200 is $93 at 50% claimed. I would buy the G7200 at that price but Amazon already shipped the G3500 I bought a few days ago.

Bumping this back up, I have a big charger in the garage for when stuff is really dead but I want a maintainer for the rest of the time. I'm looking at the Noco Genius and CTek Multi, I like the look of the Noco better as it has more options/info.

If I'm only doing maintaining, how powerful do I need to go? Just going off the Amazon listing the 0.75A only shows a bike, the 1.1A and 3.5A shows charging a bike and maintaining a car. My other charger does 2A and 12A so I'm thinking a 1.1A would do the trick?

I have both the Noco and the CTek. I prefer the Noco.

I have an onboard Noco in the SUV that I drive once or twice a week. I use my Drone Mobile to keep track of the charge and it is way more consistent than the CTek.

I used to have five cars and keeping them charged was a top priority. Two of the vehicles have an auxiliary battery. I'm done with CTek. I've had a couple die on me and the accessory that blinks the charging status lasted all but one or two years. The Noco has been fine. Looks better built.

I've got an Eliminator 2A that i've been using for ages. When I take my battery out of the corolla for the season I top it up every couple months with it. Used to use them more frequently when I was driving multiple vehicles at once, never had an issue with it.

Have used a Norco, Ctek, and a Certified by mastercraft. All did the job when we had 3 cars in storage.

AstulzerRZD 06-22-2019 04:26 PM

I've had the Eliminator 2A fail on me when plugged in via cigarette lighter port. Always seems to display green regardless of charge state.

Connecting to battery directly works well though.

CTEK is the way to go for me. I have the Polar one which is bright orange and supposed to work good in very cold temps that we wouldn't even see in the lower mainland.

Depending on sales you can pick up an 8Step(Best one imo) for under $100cdn

I use one of the Noco's year round, I can't remember which model but it was around $70-80 and I want to think I got it on sale for a bit less, at Canadian Tire but this was a few years back.

Definitely recommend the Noco, I used to use a cheaper one before, I think Motomaster and they'd always crap out.
