Using AGM+. [Press & Hold]
AGM+ charge mode is designed for advanced AGM batteries only. Advanced AGM batteries are a new battery technology. These batteries accept a higher than normal charging voltage. AGM+ charge mode is NOT suitable for traditional AGM batteries. Consult the battery manufacturer before using this mode.
CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS FOR LEAD-ACID ADVANCED AGM BATTERIES ONLY. THIS MODE USES A HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE AND MAY CAUSE SOME WATER LOSS IN WET (FLOODED) CELL BATTERIES OR OVERCHARGE IN SOME BATTERIES.

Using LI-ION. [Press & Hold]
LI-ION charge mode is for lithium-ion batteries only, including lithium iron phosphate batteries.
CAUTION: THIS MODE IS FOR LITHIUM BATTERIES ONLY. 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 Repair [Press & Hold]
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 Repair in attempt to reverse these problems. For optimal results, take the battery through a full charge cycle, bringing the battery to full charge, before using this mode. 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 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.

Using Supply [Press & Hold]
Supply converts the charger to a constant current, constant voltage DC power supply. To enter Supply Mode, the charger must not be connected to the battery.
CAUTION. THIS MODE IS FOR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. PRIOR TO USE, READ YOUR DEVICE MANUAL TO DETERMINE IF IT IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH THIS MODE. BOTH THE SPARK PROOF AND REVERSE POLARITY SAFETY FEATURES ARE DISABLED IN THIS MODE. DO NOT ALLOW THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CLAMP OR EYELET TERMINAL CONNECTORS TO TOUCH OR CONNECT TO EACH OTHER AS THE CHARGER COULD GENERATE SPARKS. CHECK THE POLARITY OF THE BATTERY TERMINALS BEFORE USING THIS MODE.

Cable Connections
The GX Series Chargers have AC and DC connection ports that are designed to allow the user to choose custom cables to fit the desired application. Both the AC and DC connection ports are labeled to inform the user the proper way to install custom cables.

AC Input Connection Port
The AC Input Connection Port requires line (black), return (white) and ground (green) connections. The unit must be grounded for safe operation. 16AWG minimum wire gauge is required. Make sure all connections are securely tightened and insulated from each other before operation. To increase the charger’s waterproofing, completely seal the entire connection with electric sealant.

DC Output Connection Port
The DC Out Connection Port requires positive (red), and negative (black) connections. 10AWG minimum wire gauge is required. Make sure all connections are securely tightened and insulated from each other before operation. To increase the charger’s waterproofing, completely seal the entire connection with electric sealant.

Inhibit Port (Optional For Operation)
The Inhibit Port contains a Relay rated at 20A. When the Charger has AC power, the relay will close allowing current flow. When the charger is removed from AC power, it takes approximately 15 seconds for the capacitors to discharge and the relay to open.

Remote LEDs Port (Optional For Operation)
The Remote LEDs Port can be used to connect LEDs for easy monitoring when the charger’s LEDs are not accessible. The port supports two LEDs, reversing polarity to change from “Charging” to “Charged.”

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. 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,-). 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 vehicle is a positive ground system (very uncommon), follow the below instructions in reverse order.

Connect the positive (red) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to the positive (POS,P,+) battery terminal.
Connect the negative (black) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to the negative (NEG,N,-) battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
Connect the battery charger’s AC power plug into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when making this connection.
When disconnecting the battery charger, 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.
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.

User Interface

Understanding Charge LEDs

The charger has four (4) Charge LEDs per bank - 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. These Charge LEDs indicate the connected battery(s) state-of-charge (SOC). See the explanation below:

LED	Explanation
25% LED	The 25% Charge LED will be “on” when the battery is less than 25% fully charged. The RED charging LEDs will “spin” indicating the unit is charging.
50% LED	The 50% Charge LED will be “on” when the battery is less than 50% fully charged. The RED charging LEDs will “spin” indicating the unit is charging.
75% LED	The 75% Charge LED will be “on” when the battery is less than 75% fully charged. The RED charging LEDs will “spin” indicating the unit is charging.
100% LED	The 100% Charge LED will be “on” when the battery is less than 100% fully charged. The GREEN LED will illuminate solid indicating the battery is fully charged.

The RED LEDs will gradually spin slower as the battery charges.

Understanding Advanced Diagnostics

Advanced Diagnostics is used when displaying Error Conditions. It will display a series of blink sequences that help you identify the cause of the error and potential solutions.
All Error Conditions are displayed with the Error LED and Standby LED flashing back and forth. The number of flashes between each pulse denotes a potential Error Condition (except reverse polarity and low-voltage battery).

Error	Reason/Solution
Single Flash	Battery will not hold a charge. Have battery checked by a professional.
Double Flash	Possible battery short. Have battery checked by a professional.
Triple Flash	Battery voltage is too high for the selected charge mode. Check the battery and charge mode.
Quadruple Flash	Abnormal AC grid power: VAC <85V or >250V, or Frequency <45Hz or >65Hz.
Error LED Solid Red	Reverse polarity. Reverse the battery connections.
Standby Solid Orange	Battery voltage is too low for charger to detect. Verify connection and mode selection, if still not working use Supply Mode to raise battery voltage.

Charging Steps

Analyze & Diagnose
Checks the battery’s initial condition, including voltage, state-of-charge and health, to determine if the battery is stable before charging.
Recovery
Initializes the Recovery de-sulfation process (if needed) for deeply discharged or sulfated batteries by pulsing small amounts of current.
Initialize
Starts the charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
Opportunity & Bulk
Begins with opportunity charging at a high current, then steps down to the Bulk charging process based on the condition of the battery and returns 80% of the battery’s capacity.
Absorption
Brings the charge level to 90% by delivering small amounts of current to provide a safe, efficient charge. This limits battery gassing and is essential to prolonging battery life.
Optimization
Finalizes the charging process and brings the battery to maximum capacity. In this step, the charger utilizes multi-layered charging profiles to fully recapture capacity and optimize the specific 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.
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 indefinitely to keep the battery at full charge. The battery charger can be safely left connected indefinitely without the risk of overcharging.
