The older one's (and most "smart" "safe" chargers) won't charge a really low or dead battery because they want to see a moderate voltage (a few volts) to know they are hooked-up correctly and not in reverse. The problem was that they wouldn't even turn on with a "dead" battery. This new series changes the level down to 1V they say, so almost any battery will show that, unless it's completely messed-up (at which point it might never come back to functional again).
The 10-amp will charge, obviously, much faster than the slower 2 or 5-amp ones. On the other hand, in general slow charging is better for the battery, but it depends on if you're in a hurry. There are also some models with "boost" that can start a car quickly. But in general, if you have time, plug it in overnight and you'll be good to go the next day with the slower models.
Amazon often has these on sale (they must have some agreement with the Manufacturer) and especially on Prime Day and BF you can get like 1/2-off deals which is really good if you need one.
Also this has special settings for sealed ("gel-cell") type batteries and even new Li-Ion ones, plus a "Repair" setting that might help restore an older battery to give it a bit more life.

I saw a review that mentioned this Clore does not trickle charge or maybe they had a bad unit?
I need something to sit on my 2006 era Honda * Touring that has a voltage leak somewhere. Car is only used every two weeks and the darn battery is drained each time.
Trying to decide if I should purchase the 10 or 20amp Clore you mentioned, this GENIUS10, or just stick with my Genius G3500.
The issue with the G3500 is I need to jump the battery before it allows me to charge it. Then switch it to the 6V mode for a couple of hours followed by charging at the 12V mode. A real PIA.
It also seems crazy slow, but I guess you want to charge batteries slow... been running in 12V mode for 12 hours and still at 75%.

I got it (thxs!) despite some reviews of quality control. Anyways, Li-On charging without balancing taps is a poor/slow way of charging, and the profile is moot with mostly those batteries having integrated BMS circuits.

The Noco Genius have memory and will pick up where they left off.
As far as the Genius goes, is it worth $19 more to get the 10A over the 5A if what I primarily want to use it for is a battery maintainer?
