PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
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 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 blow 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 specied by battery
manufacturer. Do not overll. 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 specic
precautions and recommended rates of charge.
• Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle’s owner’s
manual and make sure that the charge mode is set at the correct voltage.
• Connect and disconnect the DC output cables only after the battery charger
is placed in the STANDBY mode and the AC cord is removed from the
electrical outlet. Never allow the battery clamp or eyelet terminal connectors
to touch each other.
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 specic 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.
MOUNTING BATTERY CHARGER
The G3500 has four (4) external mounting holes in the casing of the battery
charger enclosure. These external mounting holes can be used to mount the
battery charger permanently in a desired location for battery charging. When
mounting the battery charger to a xed location, keep in mind the distance to
the battery from the battery charger. The cable length from the battery charger
with either the battery clamp or eyelet terminal connectors is approximately
72” (6’). Allow for at least 12” (1’) of slack in the battery connections. Thus, we
recommend not to extend the battery connections past 60” (5’).

WICKED SMART TIP
Amp Hour (Ah) is a rating that measures a battery’s storage capacity.
The Ah rating indicates how much amperage is available in the battery
over a twenty (20) hour period. In order to determine how many
constant Amps the battery can output for 20 hours, divide the Ah rating
by 20. For example, if you have a 100Ah battery, it can deliver 5 Amps
for 20 hours before it is fully discharged (100 / 20 = 5).

CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
Before you connect to the battery, 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 identied the
correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. The POSITIVE battery
terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (POS,P,+). The
NEGATIVE battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol
(NEG,N,-). If you are having difculty determining the polarity of the battery
terminals, see the Wicked Smart Tip below, before proceeding.
IF THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
1.) Connect the POSITIVE (Red) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to
the POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery terminal.
2.) Connect the NEGATIVE (Black) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector
to the NEGATIVE (NEG,N,-) battery terminal. If you have accidentally reversed
the polarity, an ERROR LED (Orange) will illuminate. The battery charger has
an internal safety feature to protect the battery charger from damage if this
situation should occur. Reverse the connections to clear the ERROR LED and
proceed to the next step.
3.) Connect the battery charger’s AC power plug into a suitable electrical
outlet. DO NOT FACE THE BATTERY WHEN MAKING THIS CONNECTION.
4.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect in the reverse
sequence, removing the NEGATIVE rst.
WICKED SMART TIP
HOW TO IDENTIFY THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINALS. The Reverse Polarity Protection feature on the G3500 is
enabled even when the AC power plug is not connected. MAKE SURE
THE AC POWER PLUG IS NOT CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL
OUTLET. Connect the battery clamp or eyelet terminal connectors to
the battery terminals. If an ERROR LED (Orange) illuminates, the battery
connections are reversed (positive to negative, and vice versa). If the
ERROR LED (Orange) DOES NOT illuminate, the battery connections
were made correctly. In either case, you will be able to identify the
polarity of the battery terminals. Make sure to make a note of it.

IF THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
1.) Position both the AC power plug and battery clamps or eyelet terminal
connectors to avoid accidental damage by moving vehicle parts (i.e. hoods,
doors) or moving engine parts (i.e. fan blades, belts, pulleys).
2.) Determine the vehicle’s battery system. If the POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery
terminal is connected to the vehicle chassis, then the vehicle has a Positive
Ground System. If the NEGATIVE (NEG,N,-) battery terminal is connected to
the vehicle chassis, then the vehicle has a Negative Ground System. Negative
Ground Systems are the most common.
3: Option A) For Negative Ground Systems, connect the POSITIVE (Red)
battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to the POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery
terminal. Next, connect the NEGATIVE (Black) battery clamp or eyelet terminal
connector to the vehicle chassis. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE CARBURETOR,
FUEL LINES, OR THIN SHEET METAL PARTS. MAKE THE CONNECTION TO
THE ENGINE BLOCK OR A HEAVY GAUGE METAL PART OF THE FRAME.
3: Option B) For Positive Ground Systems, connect the NEGATIVE (Black)
battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to the NEGATIVE (NEG,N,-) battery
terminal. Next, connect the POSITIVE (Red) battery clamp or eyelet terminal
connector to the vehicle chassis. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE CARBURETOR,
FUEL LINES, OR THIN SHEET METAL PARTS. MAKE THE CONNECTION TO
THE ENGINE BLOCK OR A HEAVY GAUGE METAL PART OF THE FRAME.
4.) Connect the battery charger’s AC power plug into a suitable electrical
outlet. DO NOT FACE THE BATTERY WHEN MAKING THIS CONNECTION.
5.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect in the reverse
sequence.
HOW TO START CHARGING
1.) Conrm that you have connected the battery clamp or eyelet terminal
connectors properly and the AC power plug is plugged into an electrical
outlet.
2.) The battery charger will begin in the STANDBY mode, indicated by a Green
LED. In the STANDBY mode, the battery charger is not outputting any current.
By pressing the MODE button, toggle to the appropriate charge mode, based
on the size and chemistry of your battery, to begin the charging process.
3.) Depending on the charge mode selected, an LED will illuminate the
selected charge mode and the CHARGE LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will
begin to illuminate (depending on the health of the battery), indicating the
charging process has started.
4.) When the battery is fully charged, all the CHARGE LEDs will be a solid
color (Red, Red, Yellow, Green), indicating the charge process is completed.
5.) 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.
WICKED SMART TIP
Positive Ground Systems are not very common nowadays. They
are typically found on vintage cars (i.e. classic cars) and tractors
manufactured before the early 1970’s. The reason for the conversion to
Negative Ground Systems was primarily due to the battery corrosion
that accumulated on the positive battery terminals. It was believed that
Positive Ground Systems suffered from increased battery corrosion
due to the opposite polarity since anodes have an oxidation reaction
and cathodes have a reduction reaction. In a battery, the cathode is the
positive.
Now That’s Smart, Wicked Smart.™
WICKED SMART FEATURE
INITIALIZATION. When the battery charger is plugged into an AC
electrical outlet and connected to a battery, there will be a brief (one to
three seconds) delay, then all LEDs will light up for a half (1/2) second,
to conrm all LEDs are operational. After the initialization, the only LED
that will illuminate is the last mode selected. If not in STANDBY mode,
the battery charger will begin charging after ve (5) seconds. The ve (5)
second delay allows time to toggle through the charge modes.

CHARGING STEPS
Step 1: Diagnostics
Checks the battery voltage to make sure battery connections are good and the
battery is in a stable condition before beginning the charge process.
Step 2: Recovery
Initializes the Recovery process, if needed, for deeply discharged or sulfated
(desulfation) batteries by pulsing small amounts of current.
Step 3: Soft Start
Begins Bulk charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
USING THE G3500
Step 7: Trickle
Battery is fully charged and ready to use, indicated by the 100% CHARGE
LED being a solid Green. In this step, the battery charger will only deliver
enough current to keep the battery full. If the battery tells the charger that
more current is needed, the battery charger will switch to Maintenance.
Step 8: Maintenance
Continuously monitors the battery voltage to determine if a maintenance
charge should be initiated. If the terminal voltage falls below 6.4V (6V) and
12.8V (12V), the charger will start the Maintenance cycle until voltage reaches
7.2V (6V) and 14.4V (12V) and then discontinues the charge cycle. The cycle
between Trickle and Maintenance is repeated indenitely to keep the battery at
full charge, without overcharging. The battery charger can be left connected
indenitely.

WICKED SMART FEATURE
RECOVERY MODE. The Recovery Mode is a specialized charging step
designed to rescue sulfated batteries by switching to a pulse cycle,
if needed, to help regain battery capacity. The Recovery Mode is not
always used. The Recovery Mode will only be initiated if the battery
charger detects it can improve the battery’s performance.
Now That’s Smart, Wicked Smart.™
Step 4-5: Bulk
The Bulk charging process continues using both a High Rate and Medium
Rate charge and returns 80% of battery capacity, indicated by the 25%, 50%
and 75% CHARGE LEDs.
Step 6: Absorption
Brings the charge level to 90%. The battery charger will deliver small amounts
of current to provide a safe, efcient charge and limit battery gassing.
WICKED SMART FEATURE
AUTO-MEMORY. At any time the battery charger is disconnected from
its power source, either from a power loss or accidentally disconnecting

TROUBLESHOOTING
ORANGE ERROR LED ILLUMINATES
If you have accidentally reversed the battery connections, POSITIVE to
NEGATIVE (and vice versa), an ERROR LED (Orange) will illuminate solid. If
you see the ERROR LED illuminated, you will need to clear the ERROR by
correcting the battery connections, POSITIVE to POSITIVE and NEGATIVE
to NEGATIVE. The ERROR LED is a visual diagnostic tool to inform you that
you have made the wrong battery connections. Accidentally connecting
to the battery in reverse polarity will not cause any damage to the battery
charger or battery. This safety feature is enabled even when the AC power
plug is unplugged.
BLINKING ERROR AND CHARGE LED ILLUMINATES
When the battery charger detects an ERROR condition, the ERROR LED and
CHARGE LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will blink. 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 selected the correct charge mode for your
battery. For example, if you have a 12V battery, make sure you have selected
a 12V charge mode. If you have accidentally selected the wrong charge
mode, it could cause this ERROR condition. Select the appropriate charge
mode to resolve this ERROR condition.
• SULFATED, DAMAGED OR POOR BATTERY
This ERROR condition can be the result of a sulfated, damaged or poor
battery. To properly diagnose a sulfated, damaged, or poor battery, take
the battery to a local battery store for an evaluation. If you have checked
all other possible ERROR conditions and cannot clear the ERROR, it is
probably the result of a sulfated, damaged, or poor battery. For other
possible conditions of a sulfated, damaged, or poor battery, see the sections
entitled “CHARGE LEDs FULLY ILLUMINATE IMMEDIATELY” and “BATTERY
CHARGER MAKING A CLICKING SOUND” below.
• LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
If the battery voltage is below 2.0VDC (6V) or 7.0VDC (12V), it could cause
this ERROR condition. See the section entitled “LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY”
below to resolve this ERROR condition.
• HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
If the battery voltage is above 7.0VDC and you have selected 6V charge
mode, it could cause this ERROR condition. This ERROR will cause the
CHARGE LED and ERROR LED to blink continuously. To resolve this ERROR
condition, select 12V charge mode.
• ABNORMALITY PROTECTION
This ERROR condition is the result of the battery charger being in the Bulk
mode for more than 48 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.
NO LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE BATTERY CHARGER IS PLUGGED
INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET
• POOR AC CONNECTION
Check if the AC outlet has power. If the AC outlet has no or limited power, it
could cause this ERROR 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 85-130VAC.
If there is no power or the power is below 85VAC, locate another AC outlet
that has sufcient power to resolve this ERROR condition.
BATTERY CHARGER STAYS IN STANDBY MODE AND WILL NOT CHANGE
MODES
If the battery charger stays in the STANDBY mode and will not change modes,
it could be the result of one of the following situations:
• 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 10 amp automotive blade-type 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CHARGE LED(S) IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATE TO 100%
If the battery charger’s CHARGE LED(S) immediately illuminate to 100%
when the AC power is applied to the battery charger, the battery is either
already fully charged or the battery is in extremely poor condition as a result
of sulfation or damage. If the battery is new, the battery is likely already fully
charged. If the battery is relatively old and has not been used for a long
period of time, the battery is probably so severely damaged that the battery
cannot accept any current.
BATTERY CHARGER MAKING A CLICKING SOUND
If the battery charger is making a “clicking” sound and will not go into
a charge mode, it is probably the result of a battery in extremely poor
condition as a result of sulfation or damage. The “clicking” noise you hear
does not signify a battery charger failure. The “clicking” noise is the battery
charger attempting to enter into a charge mode, but when current is applied
to the battery, the battery voltage rises too quickly, and the battery charger
shuts off. Once the current is removed from the battery, the battery voltage
rapidly decreases, and the battery charger again tries to enter into a charge
mode. The “clicking” sound and this ERROR loop condition will continue
until the poor battery is removed.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• FOR 12V BATTERIES (1.2-14Ah)
If you are trying to charge a 12V battery that is below 7.0VDC, switch the
battery charger into 6V mode to begin charging a low voltage 12V battery.
Choose either 6V SMALL NORM mode for Wet Cell, MF, or Gel Cell batteries
or 6V SMALL COLD/AGM mode for AGM batteries. When the 100%
CHARGE LED turns to a solid (not blinking) Green, the battery voltage
will be above 7.0VDC and you can return the battery charger back to the
appropriate 12V SMALL charge mode, depending on the chemistry of your
battery, to begin the charge cycle.
• FOR 12V BATTERIES (14-120Ah)
If you are trying to charge a 12V battery that is below 7.0VDC, switch the
battery charger into 6V mode to begin charging a low voltage 12V battery.
Depending on the chemistry of your battery, choose 6V NORM mode for Wet
Cell or Gel Cell batteries or 6V COLD/AGM mode for AGM batteries. When
the 100% CHARGE LED turns to a solid (not blinking) Green, the battery
voltage will be above 7.0VDC and you can return the battery charger back
to the appropriate 12V charge mode, depending on the chemistry of your
battery, to begin the charge cycle.
2524
LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
If the battery voltage is below 2.0VDC (6V) or 7.0VDC (12V), the ERROR LED
(Orange) and the CHARGE LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) will blink,
indicating the battery is out of range for the battery charger. In this situation,
the battery charger has determined that the battery voltage is too low to
begin a normal charge mode. In order to increase the battery voltage to
allow the battery charger to begin charging, follow these steps:
• FOR 6V BATTERIES
If you are trying to charge a 6V battery that is below 2.0VDC, you will need to
jump start the battery or connect the battery to a power supply to increase
the battery voltage above 2.0VDC to begin the charge cycle.
Continued On Next Page
TESTING TO SEE IF CHARGER IS CHARGING
Before applying AC power to the charger, measure the battery with a digital
volt meter and write the value down. Then plug the charger in making sure
that within 5 seconds the charger is indicating that the charging process has
begun (See WICKED SMART FEATURE: INITIALIZATION). Wait 30 seconds
and measure the battery again with the digital volt meter. The battery voltage
should be higher and slowly moving up.
WICKED SMART TIP
If you have a severely discharged battery, a battery that is below
4.5VDC (6V) or 9.0VDC (12V), 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.
