After being unsuccessful getting my relatively new Noco Genius 10x2 replaced after it went dead a week outside the 3 yr warranty I decided to do a little experiment and look to Amazon for a possible replacement. The Genius was $224 to replace. I decided to take a chance and I found the Soarfly as a more affordable option. My son ordered it for me - a 2 bank 10 amp (2 x 5 amp per battery) charger. Its $88 bucks on Amazon right now.

I dropped the boat in our NC lake in April (we have an AGM starter battery and a Lithium House Battery).
Really happy so far and sharing this in case others are in need of a charger/backup and want to save a few nickels ... maybe give it a look.
The interface is very simple and easy to understand (like the Noco), and it came with connectors so the install was simple and quick.

I'm curious if anyone else in the group is running the Soarfly and what your experiences have been over time.
Please share in the comments.

They also have a 3 Bank 30amp (3 x 10amp) for $170 as well ... I just don't run 3 batteries right now (maybe after installing the new amps I'd have to upgrade). Soarfly 3 Bank Charger

The Noco Genius 10x3 is $324 on Amazon. Noco Genius 10x3 Charger
I also have heard great things about the ProSports as well.

NOTE: We previously also had a Minnkota MK330 (which was a really nice unit) but the 30amp was too much draw on our shared pier (dock mates were not happy when their boat lifts wouldn't work without resetting the breaker box), so we sold it and downgraded the amperage.

I also bought the cheap dual bank soarfly for my diesel truck last fall. I don’t drive it regularly in the winter so I wanted to make sure I kept the new batteries up to par. Last winter it worked well without issue for the AGM batteries. So no complaints so far!
