GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING

NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS

REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW

THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.

To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions

and those published by battery manufacturer and

manufacturer of any equipment intended to be used in vicinity

of battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and

on engine.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery

charger manufacturer may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or

injury to persons.

To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather

than cord when disconnecting charger.

Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord

or plug immediately.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,

or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualied service facility.

*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than

amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by

dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating - for example:

1250 watts/125 volts = 10 amperes

Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualied service facility

when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may

result in a risk of electric shock or re.

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet

before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off

controls will not reduce this risk.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL COMPLY

WITH THE UNITED STATED COAST GUARD ELECTRICAL

REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART I)

USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN YOU WORK NEAR

LEAD-ACID BATTERIES:

• Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to

come to your aid if you have an accident.

• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid

contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

• Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching

your eyes while working near a battery. If battery acid contacts your

skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters

an eye, immediately ood the eye with running cold water for at least

ten (10) minutes and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

• Be extra cautious when handling metal tools around a battery. If you

drop a metal tool near a battery it might spark or create a short circuit

between the battery terminals and some other metal part. Either event

may cause a dangerous electrical shock hazard, a re, or even an

explosion, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Never smoke or allow an open spark or ame in the vicinity of the

battery or engine.

• Remove all personal items made of metal, such as, rings, bracelets,

necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-

acid battery can produce a short-circuited current high enough to weld

a metal ring or other piece of jewelry, causing a severe burn.

• This battery charger is for charging LEAD-ACID BATTERIES

ONLY. DO NOT USE THE BATTERY CHARGER FOR DRY-

CELL BATTERIES THAT ARE COMMONLY USED WITH HOME

APPLIANCES. THESE TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY BURST AND

MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR

DEATH.

•NEVER charge a frozen battery.

BEFORE CHARGING

• To avoid an electric arc (or spark), turn off or disconnect all of the

accessories in the boat or vehicle. Always remove the cable that is

connected to grounded terminal from battery rst.

• Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated while the

battery is being charged. If necessary, use a non-metallic material to

fan away the gas in the area.

• If necessary, clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep the

corrosion and other debris from coming in contact with your skin or

eyes.

• If the battery is not a sealed battery, add distilled water to each cell (if

necessary) until the battery acid solution reaches the level specied by

battery manufacturer. Do not overll. For a battery without cell caps,

such as a valve regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA), carefully follow

the battery manufacturer’s charging instructions.

• Before charging, carefully read the battery manufacturer’s specic

precautions and recommended rates of charge.

• Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the boat’s or

vehicle’s owner’s manual and make sure that the battery charger has

6

compatible voltages.

• If using an extension cord, always connect to the battery

charger rst, before connecting to an electrical outlet. When

disconnecting, always disconnect from the electrical outlet rst.

Make sure the electrical outlet is a 120VAC GFCI (Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupt) outlet.

LOCATING BATTERY CHARGER

• Locate the battery charger as far away from the battery as

possible.

• Never place the battery charger directly above the battery; gases

from battery will corrode and damage battery charger.

• When reading electrolyte specic gravity or ling battery, never

allow battery acid to come in contact with the battery charger.

• Do not operate the battery charger in a closed-in area or an area

with restricted ventilation.

• Do not set a battery on top of battery charger.

BATTERY SPECS

The following recommendations should ONLY be considered as

guidelines. Always refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations

for battery charging. The GEN Series On-Board Battery Chargers are

suitable for charging all types of 12V lead-acid batteries, including

Wet (Flooded), Gel, MF (Maintenance-Free) and AGM (Absorption

Glass Mat) batteries. The GEN Series On-Board Battery Chargers can

be used on battery sizes from 25 to 230Ah, but can also maintain all

battery sizes.

CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY

Before you connect to the battery(s), make sure that the AC power

plug is not connected to an electrical outlet. DO NOT CONNECT THE

BATTERY CHARGER AC POWER PLUG TO THE ELECTRICAL

OUTLET UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE. Make

sure you have identied the correct polarity of the battery terminals on

the battery(s). The POSITIVE battery terminal is typically marked by

these letters or symbols (POS,P,+). The NEGATIVE battery terminal

is typically marked by these letters or symbols (NEG,N,-). If you are

having difculty determining the polarity of the battery terminals,

contact the battery manufacturer before proceeding.

1.) Conrm that you have a 12V battery(s). This battery charger is for

12V LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY.

2.) Connect the POSITIVE (Red) eyelet terminal connector to the

POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery terminal.

3.) Connect the NEGATIVE (Black) eyelet terminal connector to the

NEGATIVE (NEG,N,-) battery terminal.

4.) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each battery bank.

5.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect in the reverse

sequence, removing the NEGATIVE rst.

HOW TO START CHARGING

1.) Conrm that you have connected the eyelet terminal connectors

properly.

2.) Connect the battery charger’s AC power plug into a suitable

electrical outlet. DO NOT FACE THE BATTERY WHEN MAKING THIS

CONNECTION.

3.) Charge battery(s) until fully charged. A Green LED will illuminate

solid when the battery is fully charged.

4.) The battery charger can be left connected to the battery at all

times to provide maintenance charging. However, it is good practice to

check the battery periodically.

CHARGER MAINTENANCE

GEN Series On-Board Battery Chargers do not require any

maintenance. Do not attempt to open or repair the battery charger

as it will invalidate the limited warranty. A damp cloth may be used to

clean dust, dirt, or other debris off of the battery charger. BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN THE BATTERY CHARGER, MAKE

SURE YOU REMOVE THE AC POWER PLUG FROM THE POWER

SOURCE.

ORANGE

LED LIGHTS EXPLANATION

When the battery is charging, the

CHARGE LED will be illuminated RED.

The CHARGE LED will remain a solid

RED color (not blinking) until the battery is

fully charged.

When the battery is fully charged, the

CHARGE LED will be illuminated GREEN.

The CHARGE LED will remain a solid

GREEN color (not blinking) until either

the battery charger is disconnected or the

battery becomes discharged.

If a Reverse Polarity condition exists, the

ORANGE ERROR LED will illuminate.

This ERROR condition will be displayed

whether the charger is plugged in or

disconnected from an AC power source.

Reverse the battery connections to x

this ERROR.

If an ERROR condition exists, the Charge

LED(s) will ash, and/or the ERROR LED

CHARGING TIMES

The time required for the GEN Series to charge a normally discharged

battery is shown below. Deeply discharged batteries may take longer to

charge depending on the depth of discharge (DOD). The charge time is

based on an average depth of discharge to a fully charged battery.

*Note: The above table is for reference purposes only. Actual data may

differ due to battery conditions. The time required to charge a normally

discharged battery is based on an average DOD of 50%.

Step 1 & 2: Analyze & Diagnose

Checks the battery’s initial condition, including voltage, state-of-

charge and health, to determine if the battery is stable before

charging.

Step 3: Recovery

Initializes the Recovery desulfation process (if needed) for deeply

discharged or sulfated batteries by pulsing small amounts of

current.

Step 4: Initialize

Starts the charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.

Step 5: Bulk

Begins the Bulk charging process based on the condition of the

battery and returns 80% of the battery’s capacity.

Step 6: Absorption

Brings the charge level to 90% by delivering small amounts of

current to provide a safe, efcient charge. This limits battery

gassing and is essential to prolonging battery life.

Step 7: Optimization

Finalizes the charging process and brings the battery to maximum

capacity. In this step, the charger utilizes multi-layered charging

proles to fully recapture capacity and optimize the specic

gravity of the battery for increased run time and performance. The

charger will switch to Maintenance if the battery tells the charger

that more current is needed.

Step 8: Maintenance

Continuously monitors the battery to determine when a

maintenance charge should be initiated. If the battery voltage

falls below its target threshold, the charger will restart the

Maintenance cycle until voltage reaches its optimal state and then

discontinues the charge cycle. The cycle between Optimization

and Maintenance is repeated indenitely to keep the battery at

full charge. The battery charger can be safely left connected

indenitely without the risk of overcharging.

WICKED SMART TIP

BATTERY TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS. The battery

charger will not begin delivering any current to the battery(s)

until the battery charger detects a ‘stable’ battery. A ‘stable’

battery means the eyelet terminal connectors are connected

to the battery with the correct polarity (POSITIVE-TO-

POSITIVE, NEGATIVE-TO-NEGATIVE) and have a tight,

clean connection to the battery being charged. If the battery

is not stable for at least three (3) seconds, the battery charger

will not begin charging the battery and the battery charger

will go into an ERROR condition. If the battery is connected

in reverse polarity, it is considered an ‘unstable’ battery and

the ERROR LED will illuminate until the ERROR is cleared by

reversing the eyelet terminal connectors.

Excluding Cords

TROUBLESHOOTING

WHEN FLASHING LEDS ILLUMINATE

When the battery charger detects an ERROR condition, The Charge

LED(s) will ash, and/or the ERROR LED with illuminate solid. If you

are seeing this ERROR condition, it could be the result of one of the

following situations:

• BATTERY VOLTAGE INCOMPATIBILITY

Check to make sure you have a 12V battery. This battery charger

is for 12V batteries only. If you attempting to charge a battery that

is other than 12V, it could cause this ERROR condition. Charge the

appropriate battery to resolve this ERROR condition.

• LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY

If the battery voltage is below 2.0VDC (12V), it could cause this

ERROR condition. In this situation, the battery charger has

determined that the battery voltage is too low to begin a normal charge

cycle. To increase the battery voltage and allow the battery charger to

begin charging, you will need to jump start the battery.

• ABNORMALITY PROTECTION

This ERROR condition is the result of the battery charger being in the

Bulk mode for more than eighty (80) hours. This ERROR condition is

the result of a bad battery. To resolve this ERROR condition, take the

battery to a local battery store for an evaluation.

• BLOWN FUSE IN BATTERY CONNECTOR HARNESS

Check the fuse in the battery connector harness. If the fuse in the

battery connector harness has blown, it could cause this ERROR

condition. Replace the fuse with a 15A Automotive Blade Fuse to

resolve this ERROR condition.

• CORROSION ON BATTERY TERMINALS

Check the battery connections for battery corrosion. If battery

corrosion is present on the battery connections, it could cause this

ERROR condition. Remove the battery corrosion to resolve this

ERROR condition.

• LOOSE BATTERY CONNECTIONS

Check the battery connections to the battery. If the battery connections

are loose, it could cause this ERROR condition. Tighten the battery

connections to resolve this ERROR condition.

• SULFATED, DAMAGED, OR WEAK BATTERY

If you have checked all other possible ERROR conditions and cannot

clear the ERROR, it is probably the result of a sulfated, damaged, or

weak battery. To properly diagnose a sulfated, damaged, or weak

battery, take the battery to a local battery store for an evaluation.

The battery store will advise if the battery can be charged or needs

replaced.

14

WICKED SMART TIP

LOW BATTERY. If you have a severely discharged battery,

a battery that is below 9.0VDC, it could be the result of a

defective battery. Batteries that have been severely discharged

as a result of an accidental load should respond quickly when

current is applied to the battery, resulting in a sharp increase in

battery voltage.

WHEN NO LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE BATTERY

CHARGER IS PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET

• WEAK AC CONNECTION

Check if the AC outlet has power. If the AC outlet has no or limited

power, it could cause this condition. Plug a light into the AC outlet

to check if the outlet has power. If the light is extremely dim, this

could be the result of limited AC power. The battery charger is

designed for use at 70-130VAC. If there is no power or the power

is below 70VAC, locate another AC outlet that has sufcient power

to resolve this ERROR condition.

BULK TIMEOUT

For safety, if the charger is in bulk mode for 41hours it will

automatically stop charging and all LEDs will ash. If this

happens, have the battery tested as it might be defective. To

restart charging, disconnect AC Power and then reconnect.

WICKED SMART FEATURE

ABNORMALITY PROTECTION. If the battery charger is in the

Bulk mode for more than 80 hours, the battery charger will go

into an ERROR condition. This feature prevents damage if the

battery is faulty.

WICKED SMART TIP

TESTING TO SEE IF CHARGER IS CHARGING

Before applying AC power to the charger, measure the battery

voltage with a digital voltmeter and write the value down. Plug

the battery charger into an electrical outlet. Wait at least thirty

(30) seconds and measure the battery voltage again with the

digital voltmeter. The battery voltage should be higher than the

previous value and slowly moving up.

• Portez une protection complète pour les yeux et des vêtements

protecteurs. Évitez de toucher vos yeux lorsque vous travaillez près

d’une batterie. Si l’acide de la batterie vient en contact avec votre

peau ou vêtement, lavez immédiatement avec du savon et de l’eau.

Si l’acide entre dans un œil, rincez celui-ci immédiatement avec de

l’eau froide pendant au moins dix (10) minutes et obtenez des soins

médicaux aussitôt que possible.

• Soyez encore plus prudent lorsque vous manipulez des outils en

métal autour d’une batterie. Si vous échappez un outil en métal près

d’une batterie, ceci pourrait créer un court-circuit entre les bornes de

la batterie et une autre partie de métal. Dans les deux cas, un risque

de décharge électrique dangereux, un feu ou même une explosion

pourrait être provoqué, entrainant des dommages, des blessures

personnelles ou la mort.

• Ne jamais fumer ou permettre une étincelle ou une amme nue dans

l’enceinte de la batterie ou du moteur.

• Enlevez tous les effets personnels faits de métal, tels les bagues,

bracelets, colliers et les montres lorsque vous travaillez avec une

batterie plomb-acide. Une batterie plomb-acide peut produire un

courant de court-circuit assez élevé pour fondre une bague en métal

ou autres bijoux, pouvant ainsi causer une brûlure sévère.

AVANT DE CHARGER

• An d’éviter un arc électrique (ou étincelle), fermez ou débranchez

tous les accessoires se trouvant dans le bateau ou le véhicule.

Toujours enlever d’abord le câble qui est branché à la borne de mise à

la terre à partir de la batterie.

• Assurez-vous que la zone autour de la batterie est bien aérée

pendant que la batterie est en mode de charge. Si nécessaire, utilisez

un matériel non métallique pour éventer le gaz de cette zone.

• Si nécessaire, nettoyez les bornes de la batterie. Faites attention

que la corrosion et autres débris ne viennent en contact avec votre

peau ou vos yeux.
