I am pretty sure this has been discussed already but my attempt to search come up empty. I have a 2016 3500 dually and looking for a charger recommendation.
 
On board? If so I like the NOCO line of chargers. Have the 10 amp on mine.

Are you talking about a charger or jump box? The NOCO Boost certainly has enough power for the 6.7 diesel.
 
I have looked at NOCO but havent seen anything that had enough power for the 6.7.

I have used a NOCO .75A on my Cummins trucks and it’s sufficient as long as the batteries aren’t too low.

I now mainly use a NOCO Genius 5 and it’s a good size for the truck and any other battery I need to charge, repair, etc.
 
I use a Battery Tender 3 amp. I installed 2 sets of pigtails so that I can rotate /charge them on an alternate basis for the dual battery system. Only use this in winter time along with the block heater. Batteries are still the original 2017 units.
 
Picked up a couple of Energizer’s awhile back. Seem good so far and they have a digital display telling you the voltage. They should all have this feature.

Hard to beat Noco.


Buy extra leads and leave them attached to each vehicle. They have extension cables available as well.

That said, I tend to buy smaller "trickle" chargers/maintainers for off season use to keep the ATV/Boat batteries maintained. Then I'm not moving them around. The RV stays plugged in all the time so just have to check fluid levels on that.
