Hibernation Time -- Quick Q's

get rid of that MOTOMASTER junk!!!

If you get the NOCO Genius, they have charger adapter via the OBDII connector port. Never have to open hood, or remove battery. Get the 7.2A version.

Other good charger/maintainer is the CTEK. Porsche and MB use that exclusively.

Oh okay! I haven't gone to buy yet but Canadian Tire has this brand. I don't see the 7.2A version on their site though. Are you able to recommend a NOCO Genius model from the Canadian Tire site for the Z? I really appreciate this. I'm new to all the nuances of automotive storage. Seem to be quite a few options from NOCO Genius available.

ZoomZ

Yes, That's where I bought mine. I'm sure it available on amazon or other local parts stores.

HOWEVER. looks like NOCO has changed their lineup and come out with new models. The 7.2A is now obsolete. They are simply called Genious2,5 or 10. Get the 10A. https://no.co/products/charging/multipurpose

I've used the old version for over 3 years and no issues. I'm sure the new version is just as good.

Also available at another Calgary CT.

I agree! The Motomaster brand chargers are complete junk. I had one fail and overheat a couple years ago. Luckily, I was in the garage when it happened so I disconnected it from my battery before it caused any damage.

I have been using a CTek 3300 since and it is bulletproof. Hook it up and forget it. It is also the brand of chargers supplied with new Ferraris.
