Battery Charger/tender Question

[FaaWrenchBndr]

Is it safe to connect the Genius 5 to the truck all the time when not driving?

Yes

6 vehicles (and 1 UTV) all on a Noco 2D. All batteries at least 2 yrs old (some much older). No issues whatsoever with any of the Ford batteries (4) or other brands (the other 3, which includes the UTV). Multiple issues with Ford's batteries on a vehicle I no longer have where I didn't go the Noco 2D (or similar) route.

Bottom line, I'm sold on the Noco 2D solution.

I drive my 2021 primarily on weekends. I think I just learned that it will not do updates if the battery voltage drops below a certain limit. I have a NOCO Genius 10 and a Genius 1 that stays connected to my generator, but I like the idea of the 2D mounted in the truck and just keep it plugged in. I guess I'll have to order one.

I followed this idea from the Bronco Sport thread:

Followed this exactly on my Bronco Sport, UTV, and two other vehicles using the Noco Genius 2D, a Noco GCP1, and 6 ft extension cord.

With the F-150 having a metal bumper I just dropped the 6-ft extension cord down to the right front behind the bumper and cover it with a Prong Shield outdoor plug cover when not plugged in to "shore power."
