I've got one Noco Genius 3500 but after I got the Odyssey Extremes and read that Enersys didn't like their charging algorithm for the Odysseys, I went with CTEK - I use a MUS 25000 on the diesel (I alternate which battery I hook it to, even with all of Jack's ground updates) and a MUS 4.3 on the Jeep (it has an Extreme) and just bought a MXS 5.0 for the F150 and plan to get another one of those for the soon to come P-car... I have quite a few BateryMinders and Battery Tenders I use on flooded lead acid batteries - oddly the only batteries I've had go south on me were on either a small (.8a) Battery Tender or a 1.5A Battery Minder - hmmm, maybe I should get more CTEKs

I’m about to buy a new charger. I was going to pick up the Noco genius 10. Do they not work with Odysee batteries??
CTEK also has one, have to order it. MUS 4.3 Polar. For cold temps, I’ve considered this as well.
Noco is local for me to pick up and return if needed, CTEK I’d have to order.
Im not looking to mount anything, it will be used on a few different (other brand) AGM batteries as well.

Odyssey has some specific ideas about the charging process. Noco was not on their approved list last I looked. The NOCO works well on my X2Power AGM's, so not sure what the difference is.

Thank you Mark, and Dan for posting that, I’d have not known otherwise. When I spoke to Odyssey Canada, they did not mention any specific brand. They only mentioned get one specifically for AGM. My old charger has an AGM setting, but I don’t see any difference when using it, it’s older and I’d like a new one.
FYI. - There seems to have been some changes in Odysee battery Canada. Their website is not working.
Continental Battery Systems and Great Northern Batteries have merged. GNB was the distributor, they shipped my batts to me.

They list Noco chargers on their site.
I’ll call them next week, see what they say / recommend.
Glad I saw this thread, it’s never simple..

Just a follow up:
odysseybattery.com - USA website (main web site) has info on chargers, recommendations, and approved list.
odysseybattery.ca - Canadian web site does (did) not have any of this info. It’s not working as of right now.
Old approval list found in a Google search:
https://www.odysseybattery.com/wp-co...V_chargers.pdf
Web site literature page, with current approval lists, recommendations, etc.

Yeah, I only saw one under 24V - I wonder if it is because they now have a line of their own chargers? (perhaps rebranded CTEK!)
