Ford battery Tender vs Nocu?

[FrankAR15]

Which do you prefer and why? Nocu is cheaper (which model did you buy?), but I can get the Ford one with points for free.

I saved my points to go toward a car cover, I ended up ordering these. They did a great job of maintaining the 4 batteries I had to tend to this winter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BMLM11NR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Ford and GM both are re-branded CTEC Charger/Maintainers. I do use it and it works great but bought on Amazon.

NOCO for the win. For a battery maintainer/tender, you don't need anything more than 1A, maybe 2A at most. For $30, you can get a NOCO 1A maintainer that does standard flooded, AGM, and lithium batteries. The 2A version is $50. Both can be left connected 24/7/365.

I got the same CTEK that @m3incorp posted.
It worked great to recondition my lawn mower battery, very useful.

I bought the Noco 5 amp model. It works just fine.
