In this video, I'm going to show how to extend the battery charging cable on your NOCO Genius GenPro.
We'll start by going over everything you need to get started, then I'll guide you through the step-by-step process of extending your charging cables.
After contacting NOCO, I learned that it's possible to extend the battery charging cables on your onboard GenPro Series battery charger. NOCO informed me that you can add an additional 10 feet using 14 AWG wire by snipping the wires after the inline fuses.
Here's what you'll need:
14 AWG stranded copper wire
Solder seal wire connectors (with built-in shrink tubing and solder)
Battery terminals
Wire puller
Wire snips
Wire crimper
Wire stripper
Heat gun
I'll also provide links to all these products in the description for your convenience.
Steps:
Run the wire puller from the battery under the gunwale to the front, underneath the console.
Tape the positive and negative cables securely to the wire puller and feed it through.
Strip about a half inch of wire from all ends and use solder seal connectors to join the wires.
Use the heat gun to shrink the tubing and melt the solder.
Repeat for both positive and negative cables.
Connect the extended wires to the battery terminals.
Program the third bank on your NOCO Genius GenPro charger according to your battery type (e.g., lead acid).
After extending the charging cables and connecting everything, you can charge your batteries and get back on the water.

Great video, but I do have one question. Is it a problem putting a 10 AWG terminal on a 14 AWG wire?

[@DeanoOutDoors]

I know it’s not recommended, however you need this size to fit the battery terminals. I haven’t encountered any issues using them. I usually end up securing them a little tighter with the use of a vise grip and then heat shrink them.

You can extend the wires, but now you've voided your warranty on the charger. NOCO informed me if you cut the wires to extend them, the warranty is void. I decided to put ring terminals on my extensions and bolted them together.

Here is the email they sent me: The 14AWG leads of the GEN chargers can be extended up to an additional 10' without modifying or moving the fuse. The fuse must remain in place and the additional length must be added after the fuse. Absolutely no AC modifications allowed. The warranty will remain intact as long as these guidelines are followed.
So that’s interesting that they told us differently. Thanks for sharing this info.

@@DeanoOutDoors I am currently in the same situation with my boat. Thanks for posting up the video

Your welcome.

@@DeanoOutDoors I contacted NOCO Tech Support today via chat on their website and received the same reply. You CAN extend up to 10' without voiding the warranty if you do it after the fuses. Thanks!

[@DeanoOutDoors]

Thanks for confirming this.
