Odyssey PC2250ST 6tl the bad? best seller?

I can confirm it will work properly

So, just to be sure, have you been running yours with no issues? Referring to not un-hooking batteries from series?

That would be excellent..

I can confirm the NOCO Genius GEN5X2 indeed works to charge both without disconnecting.

I will also confirm my NOCO 3 does just fine with batteries in series.

I’ve got the 5x2 on mine, works just fine.

That’s great. Appreciate the reply .

Any chance you could show how you hooked this to your batteries?

it's pretty simple. The 2x2, 5x2, 10x2 genius chargers all have 2 sets of wires coming out that go to battery positive and negative posts. One wire set goes to each battery positive and negative. It doesn't matter which wire set to which battery, just match up positive to positive and negative to negative.

I cut off the connectors and attached small size battery cable alligator type clamps

I hadn't looked on their website, I'm a little spoiled from the guys on this site with their knowledge ,so it's been my default when it comes to my 1165A1 I picked up this year. Thanks Coug and to all others.
I did order the 5x2 today on Amazon at 10 am, and it was delivered by 2pm today. Headed down after a drink to get it set up. !

I will keep the lug connectors since I'm running the Odyssey batteries and they have both types.
Makes it easy for a secure connection .
I have hooked up the charger and it's working great.
Will update as time rolls on.

*** UPDATE ***

Guys I messed up. These Odyssey batteries require MORE than this charger puts out. And it will not work for these batteries.
And as a matter of fact per Odyssey, it will ruin them.

Each battery needs at least 15 amps of current. You can do that charging in series at 24 volt charge voltages. Or if charging 1 at a time, the current still needs to be 15 amps at 12 volt charge voltages.

Our minimum charge current is 10% of the battery’s 20 hr capacity rating. The PC2250 is rated 126 amp hours…so I rounded 12.6 amps for charge current up to 15 amps for practical purposes.

Please let me know if you have questions.

I wanted to share so nobody does the goof that I did. If you're NOT running these, then you'll probably be just fine. But check the min charge amps for your batteries.
