Difference Between NOCO Genius Smart Battery 5 Amp and 10 Amp Chargers
Question:
I have a 2019 4Runner and I am looking at the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger - AC to DC - 6V/12V - 5 Amp and 10 Amp version and your site says both will work on the 4Runner. What is really the main difference beside the Amps and can either one be used on a 2005 Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom?

Expert Reply:
The amp rating is really the only difference between the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger 5 Amp # 329-GENIUS5 and the 10 Amp # 329-GENIUS10. The 5 amp weighs in at 1.5 ls and works with batteries up to 120 amp-hours while the 10 amp weighs in at 3.3 lbs and works with batteries up to 230 amp-hours. So the 10 amp version is for a bigger application but that's it.
I don't know what battery you have in your Yamaha but you can use the specs I mentioned above as a guide. There should be an amp-hour rating on your battery.
