## Description

## NOCO GEN5X2 12V 10A 2-bank on-board battery charger IP68

The NOCO GEN5X2 is a waterproof 12V on-board charger with 2 banks of 5 A (10 A in total), each isolated and working independently, designed for boats, pontoons, jet skis, fishing boats, sailing boats and motorboats. Its sealed IP68 housing can be mounted in any orientation, with an anti-vibration backing.
It charges 12V lead-acid batteries (wet, gel, MF, EFB, AGM and calcium) and lithium batteries with BMS up to 120 Ah per bank. It offers 12V, AGM, Lithium and Repair modes, detects batteries from 1 V, includes Force Mode for batteries at 0 V and adjusts charging to the ambient temperature. It can stay connected permanently with no risk of overcharging.

### Features

- Fully sealed, waterproof on-board charger, IP68 rated
- 2 isolated banks working independently, 5 A each
- For 12V lead-acid batteries: wet, gel, MF, EFB, AGM and calcium
- 12V lithium mode for batteries with BMS, including LiFePO4
- Repair mode for old, sulphated or stratified batteries
- Detects batteries from 1 V; Force Mode for batteries below 1 V
- Thermal compensation prevents undercharging in the cold and overcharging in the heat
- Mounts in any orientation, even upside down, with anti-vibration backing
- Can stay connected permanently without overcharging, with auto-memory
- Diagnostics for reverse polarity, bad battery and high voltage

## Frequently asked questions

### Which batteries can this charger charge?

12 V batteries with a capacity of 120 Ah: conventional lead-acid, EFB, AGM and GEL. Check first that your battery voltage matches the charger.

### How long does it take to charge a battery?

As a guide, the time from flat is the battery capacity (Ah) divided by the charger current (10 A), plus 20 %: a 100 Ah battery takes about 12 hours. If it is only half discharged, half that time.

### Can I leave it connected to the battery?

Automatic chargers switch to maintenance when they finish and can be left connected. If maintenance charging is not listed in this model's specifications, disconnect it when charging is complete.

### Do I need to remove the battery to charge it?

No, it is usually charged in place: with the engine and ignition off, connect the red clamp to the positive (+) and the black one to the negative (−) or to a metal part of the chassis, then plug in the charger. When finished, unplug it before removing the clamps. Do it in a ventilated place.
