6 V battery charger

[O clarkii lewisi]

I know that there is another thread on this but I cannot find it with my searching. I am about to order
NOCO GENIUS1, 1A Fully-Automatic Smart Charger, 6V and 12V Portable Automotive Car Battery Charger,

https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GENIUS1-Fully-Automatic-Temperature-Compensation/dp/B07W46BX31/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=6+volt+battery+trickle+charger&qid=1661618554&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

My intent is to use it to maintain my camper trailer batteries. My batteries are

Interstate GC2 Deep Cycle Extreme Golf Cart Battery — 6V, 225Ah, Model# GC2-ECL-UTL ​

I know just enough to know that this charger is a 6V and my batteries are 6V. Will this charger work for my batteries? And does anyone have experience with this NOCO? I don't want to spend a lot of money and this seems to have good reviews.
Thanks in advance to this crew for answers!

I have the Noco 10 charger and it's been fine so far for charging my lifepo4 battery. Though admittedly I haven't had it for long.

As far as I know, all the Noco Genius chargers will charge 6/12v and lead acid/gel/lithium. They just do it at different rates. This was a useful read for me:

NOCO Genius1 vs Genius5 vs Genius10: Who's the real "Genius"?

This comparison and guide will help you determine which of the NOCO Genius Series battery chargers is best suited for your car charging needs

I looked at the Noco Genius 5 and the Noco Genius 1, but for my purposes (LifePo4 trolling motor battery and an old lead acid trolling motor battery) I decided I wanted the faster charge and better "repair" capabilities of the Genius 10. But I think any of them would have worked for basic charging/maintaining.

Are you using 2 6V to get 12V for for your camper? If so, you can use a 12 volt charger. I use this configuration and the battery life and time to discharge is fantastic.

I should add: Connecting batteries and chargers like this can be dangerous with lead-acid batteries so if you are not sure stop by an RV dealer.

Yep, using 2 6 V batteries to get 12V. Thank you for the reply.

The 2 6V are fantastic…your camper may already have an AC to 12V DC converter. I am pretty sure if you charge the 6V batteries with a 6V charger you have to completely isolate them and charge them separately.

With the built in 12V charger you do nothing but plug your camper into a 110v AC power and it is all taken care of.

The only thing I found was I needed to add water to the 6V every year…but I got 10+ years on my first set.

Thanks LP. Great advice and yes I will isolate and charge. Appreciate the tips! 10 + years, wow you take good care of 'em!

I purchased and have used the Noco Genius 1. So far works as expected - works great. It is slow to bring my 6Vs up to a full charge - at least 24 hours but in my case I am not in a hurry just trying to maintain my batteries. 30 bucks for my junior Genius seems like a no brainier to keep my batteries in shape and hopefully extend their lives. Good little product and thanks @Josh and @longputt for the help!!
