How To Use

Charging Modes
The GENIUSPRO50 has seventeen (17) modes: Standby, 12V, 12V AGM, 12V LITHIUM, 6V, 6V AGM, 6V LITHIUM, 24V, 24V AGM, 24V LITHIUM, 6V REPAIR, 12V REPAIR, 24V REPAIR, 12V SUPPLY, 24V SUPPLY, 10A Mode 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:

Using Lithium Charge Modes
Lithium charge modes are designed for 6-volt, 12-volt and 24-volt lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4).
CAUTION. USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. THIS MODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH 6-VOLT, 12-VOLT AND 24-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 Supply Modes. [Press and Hold 3 Seconds While Not Connected To Battery]
Supply Mode converts the charger to a constant voltage DC power supply. It can be used to power 12VDC and devices, tire inﬂators, seat heaters and more. As a power supply, it can also be used to retain a vehicle’s on-board computer settings during battery repair or replacement.

13.6V Supply (12V Supply) provides 13.6-volts up to 50A. Charger output voltage will drop if output load exceeds the 50A current limit.
27.2V Supply (24V Supply) provides 27.2-volts up to 25A. Charger output voltage will drop if output load exceeds the 25A current limit.

CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. SUPPLY MODE DISABLES SAFETY FEATURES AND LIVE POWER IS PRESENT AT THE CONNECTORS. DO NOT TOUCH CONNECTIONS TOGETHER. RISK OF SPARKS, FIRE, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, AND DEATH.

Using Repair Modes. [From Standby Press and Hold 3 Seconds While Connected to the Battery]
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 Mode can take up to four (4) hours to complete the recovery process and will return to Standby when completed. Repeated repair cycles may be needed depending on size and condition of the battery, however battery temperature must be closely monitored.

CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS FOR 6-VOLT, 12-VOLT AND 24-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 allows 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 LEDs and the selected mode 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.
Using “Reduced Charge Current Mode”. [Press the 10A Mode Button]
Reduced Charge Current mode will allow the unit to operate at a charge current of 10A. This mode is available at any time and can be used with the following modes only: 12V AGM, 12V LITHIUM, 6V, 6V AGM, 6V LITHIUM, 24V, 24V AGM, 24V LITHIUM and Force mode.

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 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.

Understanding Charge LEDs

Understanding Error LEDs

Error Conditions will be indicated by the following LEDs.

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 GENIUSPRO50 Series features thermal compensation that automatically adjusts charging proﬁles to maximize charging performance.

Battery Size Ah (Amp hour)	Approximate Time to Charge In Hours 6V	Approximate Time to Charge In Hours 12V	Approximate Time to Charge In Hours 24V
