- MEET THE GENIUS2D — A direct-mount onboard battery charger for an under-the-hood battery charging. It's the all-in-one charging solution - battery charger, battery maintainer, trickle charger, plus desulfator.
- DO MORE WITH GENIUS — Designed for 12-volt lead-acid (AGM, Gel, SLA, VRLA) batteries, including flooded, maintenance-free, deep-cycle, marine and RV batteries.
- DIRECT MOUNT — Securely attaches near the battery using a durable snap-fit mounting bracket and installs easily into most surfaces with truss-head self-tapping screws for a hassle-free, reliable setup.
- ENJOY PRECISION CHARGING — An integrated thermal sensor dynamically adjusts the charge based on ambient temperature, preventing overcharging in hot weather and undercharging in cold, ensuring optimal battery performance.
- CHARGE DEAD BATTERIES — Charge batteries from as low as 1 volt, or use Force Mode to manually charge completely dead batteries down to zero volts. Perfect for recovering deeply discharged or neglected batteries.
- BEYOND MAINTENANCE — Keep your battery fully charged without worrying about overcharging. Our smart charger constantly monitors the battery, allowing you to leave it connected safely - indefinitely - for worry-free maintenance.
- RESTORE YOUR BATTERY — Precision pulse charging automatically detects and reverses battery sulfation and acid stratification, restoring your battery's health for improved performance and extended lifespan.
- WHAT'S IN THE BOX — Includes a 2A onboard charger, 24-inch AC cable, 24-inch DC cable with eyelet terminals, mounting bracket, screws, and a 3-year warranty. Proudly designed in the USA.
