How To Use

Charging Modes
The GENPRO Series has six (6) modes: Standby, 12V, 12V AGM, 12V LITHIUM, 12V REPAIR, and Force Mode. Some charge modes must be pressed and held for three (3) to five (5) seconds to enter the mode. These “Press and Hold” modes are advanced charging modes that require your full attention before selecting. It is important to understand the differences and purpose of each charge mode. Do not operate the charger until you confirm the appropriate charge mode for your battery. Below is a brief description:

Mode	Explanation (Peak Voltage Measured At 25°C, Amperage Rating Is Bulk Amperage When Above 0°C)
Standby	In Standby mode, the charger is not charging or providing any power to the battery. Energy Save is activated during this mode, drawing microscopic power from the electrical outlet. Can bus is enabled in Standby mode. When in Standby, the orange Standby LED will illuminate.
	No Power
12V	For charging 12-volt Wet Cell, Gel Cell, Enhanced Flooded, Maintenance-Free and Calcium batteries. When selected, the 12V white LED will illuminate.
	14.5V \| 10A \| Up To 230AH Batteries
12V AGM	For charging 12-volt AGM batteries. When selected, the 12V AGM white LED will illuminate.
	14.8V \| 10A \| Up To 230AH Batteries
12V Lithium	For charging 12-volt lithium-ion batteries, including lithium iron phosphate. When selected, the 12VLithium blue LED will illuminate. For use on batteries with Battery Management Systems (BMS) only.
	14.6V \| 10A \| Up To 230AH Batteries
12V Repair Press & Hold (3 Seconds)	An advanced battery recovery mode for repairing and restoring, old, idle, damaged, stratified or sulfated batteries. When selected, a red LED will illuminate and flash.
	16.5V \| 1.5A \| Any Capacity [From Standby Press and Hold 3 Seconds while connected to battery]
Force Mode Press & Hold (5 Seconds)	For charging batteries with a voltage lower than 1V. Press and Hold for five (5) seconds to enter Force Mode. The selected charge mode will then operate under Force Mode for five (5) minutes before returning to standard charging in the selected mode.
	10A \| Up To 230AH Batteries [From Standby Press and Hold 5 Seconds while connected to battery, then toggle through modes]

Using 12V Lithium
12V Lithium charge mode is designed for 12-volt lithium-ion batteries only, including lithium iron phosphate.
CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. THIS MODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH 12-VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIES THAT HAVE A BUILT-IN BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS). LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES ARE MADE AND CONSTRUCTED IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND SOME MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN A BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS). CONSULT THE LITHIUM BATTERY MANUFACTURER BEFORE CHARGING AND ASK FOR RECOMMENDED CHARGING RATES AND VOLTAGES. SOME LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MAY BE UNSTABLE AND UNSUITABLE FOR CHARGING.

Using 12V Repair. [From Standby Press and Hold 3 Seconds With Clamps Connected to the Battery]
12V Repair is an advanced battery recovery mode for repairing and storing, old, idle, damaged, stratified or sulfated batteries. Not all batteries can be recovered. Batteries tend to become damaged if kept at a low charge and/or never given the opportunity to receive a full charge. The most common battery problems are battery sulfation and stratification. Both battery sulfation and stratification will artificially raise the open circuit voltage of the battery, causing the battery to appear fully charged, while providing low capacity. Use 12V Repair in attempt to reverse these problems. For optimal results, take the 12-volt battery through a full charge cycle, bringing the battery to full charge, before using this mode. 12V Repair can take up to four (4) hours to complete the recovery process and will return to Standby when completed.
CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS FOR 12-VOLT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. THIS MODE USES A HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE AND MAY CAUSE SOME WATER LOSS IN WET (FLOODED) CELL BATTERIES. BE ADVISED, SOME BATTERIES AND ELECTRONICS MAY BE SENSITIVE TO HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGES. TO MINIMIZE RISKS TO ELECTRONICS, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE USING THIS MODE.

Force Mode. [Press & Hold for 5 seconds]
Force mode allow the charger to manually begin charging when the connected battery’s voltage is too low to be detected. If battery voltage is too low for the charger to detect, press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds to activate Force Mode, then select the appropriate mode. All available modes will flash. Once a charge mode is selected, the Charge Mode LED and Charge LED will alternate between each other, indicating Force Mode is active. After five (5) minutes the charger will return to the normal charge operation and low voltage detection will be reactivated.
CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. FORCE MODE DISABLES SAFETY FEATURES AND LIVE POWER IS PRESENT AT THE CONNECTORS. ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE MADE PRIOR TO ENTERING FORCE MODE, AND DO NOT TOUCH CONNECTIONS TOGETHER. RISK OF SPARKS, FIRE, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, AND DEATH.

Connecting to the Battery

Do not connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made. Identify the correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts. The below instructions are for a negative ground system (most common). If your boat or vehicle is a positive ground system (very uncommon), follow the below instructions in reverse order.

Connect the positive (red) eyelet terminal connector to the positive (POS,P,+) battery terminal.
Connect the negative (black) eyelet terminal connector to the negative (NEG,N,-) battery terminal.
Connect the battery charger into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when making this connection.
When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).

Begin Charging

Verify the voltage and chemistry of the battery.
Confirm that you have connected the battery clamps or eyelet terminal connectors properly and the AC power plug is plugged into an electrical outlet.
[First time use] The charger will begin in Standby mode, indicated by an orange LED. In Standby, the charger is not providing any power.
Press the mode button to toggle to the appropriate charge mode (press and hold for three seconds to enter an advanced charge mode) for the voltage and chemistry of your battery.
The mode LED will illuminate the selected charge mode and the Charge LEDs will illuminate (depending on the health of the battery) indicating the charging process has started.
The charger can now be left connected to the battery at all times to provide maintenance charging.
Auto-Memory: The charger has built in auto-memory and will return to the last charge mode when connected. To change modes after the first use, press the mode button.

Charging Times

The estimated time to charge a battery is shown below. The size of the battery (Ah) and its depth of discharge (DOD) greatly affect its charging time. The charge time is based on an average depth of discharge to a fully charged battery and is for reference purposes only. Actual data may differ due to battery conditions. The time to charge a normally discharged battery is based on a 50% DOD. Temperature will also impact charging times. The GENPRO Series features thermal compensation that automatically adjusts charging profiles to maximize charging performance.

Battery Size Ah (Amp hour)	Approximate Time to Charge In Hours 12V
20	1.5
40	3.0
80	6.0
100	7.0
230	17.3
