I have the NOCO Genius 10 and it's great. I've considered the Genius 1 for a battery tender in the shop. Just move it from vehicle to vehicle as needed.

I'm contemplating adding a shore charger to my trailer, in which case a the noco would move to the X. The 5A charger is more than enough to keep the battery topped up, and the 30L fridge running in the X during the summer when I'm not on trips.

A pickled jalapeño egg for breakfast was not a good choice. Tasted good. Insides say otherwise.

@XterraRising @General_Tarfun or anyone else who may have some insight on battery tenders.. I'm about to start looking into a tender for a non agm battery in my 2nd vehicle that rarely gets driven and knew you guys had some experience. What should I be looking for or do you guys have one that you like?
Thx in advance~

This is what I use, haven’t gotten around to mounting it on the rug yet. I think they’ve replaced this line, but I’d still trust the brand - the jump starter I have from them also works great. I am running an agm battery, idk if it makes a big difference for a regular lead acid.

I checked Amazon and found the Genius1 for $20 cyber Mon. I figure for that price and the reviews I've heard and seen, that'd be hard to beat..
Thx guys

They kept the form factor, but I think they have the pro line now. I'm actually thinking about the 10A pro charger for my trailer. I wrapped my lifepo4 battery using an rv water tank anti-freezing pad. I put a switch on the battery box, so that should keep the battery warm enough to keep it on a charger.

just spit this piece of shiat out and killed it after a swig of my beer. I guess I left it unattended too long, but need to figure out how to keep the shiats out of the house.

The dreaded beer piercing hinged top Beatle . As long as there beer in the house you can't get rid of them . Also commonly called the Relative beatle for the same reason !!

You'll probably have to move cause there's been too much beer consumed at your address and the residual spillage will attract for decade's !!

Small, power sucks, cheap feel, and I feel like my ass is scrapping the road when I drive now lol
I know what you mean. I test drove a taco before my frontier. HATED it. I didn't like the way the engine or transmission felt, but I really hated the seating position.

I don't have any of these complaints with my frontier. But, my previous truck (2004 Colorado z71), yes, absolutely.

Welp. Been a shiat week. And tomorrow is only Wednesday.

Mom was in the hospital for two days due to chest pain. Thankfully they found nothing wrong and sent her home.

One of the tubes in my bed sprung a leak. So I've had my room torn to shreds since Monday morning. I've had a tube based waterbed for over 20 years. And I've never had this bad of a run with tubes. 4 out of 8 in the last 4 years. I think in the previous 20 years I might have lost one.

Especially irritating since the bed doesn't see any..... Well.... Use anymore. If you catch my meaning.

This same mattress survived literally breaking the bed support in half....because of...activites... When I was 25. But now my fat ass just sleeping on it and a tube fails.

The front seats in that Gen Toyota is abismal. Both the 4Runner and the Taco. It feels like I'm in a toy.
