Important Safety Warnings
About Genius 2D. The Genius 2D is designed for charging the types of 12V lead-acid batteries, including Wet (Flooded), Gel, MF (Maintenance-Free) CA (Calcium),
EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery), and AGM (Absorption Glass Mat) batteries. It is suitable for charging battery capacities up to 40 Amp-hours and maintaining all
battery sizes. Getting Started. Before using the charger, carefully read the battery manufacture's specific precautions and recommended rates of charge for the
battery. Make sure to determine the voltage and chemistry of the battery by referring to your battery owner's manual prior to charging. Location & Mounting. The
Genius 2D is designed to remain directly connected to a battery. Prevent battery acid from coming in contact with the product. Do not operate the product in a closedin area or an area with restricted ventilation. Never mount directly to the battery. Do not set a battery on top of product. Mount the charger near the battery, ensuring
the cables and charger are secure and away from any moving parts (eg. fan blades, belts, pulleys). Do not allow cords to be pinched, cut, or damaged by hood or
other moving parts, as it may cause a short circuit, which may result in property damage, injury, and/or death. Proposition 65. Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain chemicals, including lead. These materials are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Personal Precaution. Only use product as intended. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid in case of emergency.

before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Clean and dry product immediately if it comes in contact with liquid or any type of contaminant. Use a soft, lint-free
(microfiber) cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Explosive Atmospheres. Obey all signs and instructions. Do not operate product in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, including fueling areas or areas which contain chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. High-Consequence Activities.
This product is not intended for use where the failure of the product could lead to injury, death or severe environmental damage. Radio Frequency Interference.
Product is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions. Such emissions from the product can negatively
aect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Model Number: Genius 2D This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.
How To Use
Charging Modes.
The Genius 2D has two (2) automatic modes, and will begin charging when both the battery and power are connected. Do not operate the charger until you confirm
the Genius 2D charger is compatible with your battery type and voltage. Below is a brief description:

On-Board Mounting.
Mount the charger near the battery, ensuring the cables and charger are secure and away from any moving parts (eg. fan blades, belts, pulleys). Secure the
provided mounting bracket to the vehicle’s chassis using the two included self-tapping screws. For best results, mark the position using the bracket, and pre-drill
two small pilot holes. Once the bracket is secured, use the velcro strap to secure the Genius 2D in place.
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.
1.) Connect the positive (red) eyelet terminal connector to the positive (POS,P,+) battery terminal.
2.) Connect the negative (black) eyelet terminal connector to the negative (NEG,N,-) battery terminal.
3.) Connect the battery charger’s AC power plug into a suitable electrical outlet.
Begin Charging.
1.) Verify the voltage and chemistry of the battery.
2.) Confirm that you have connected the eyelet terminal connectors properly and the AC power plug is plugged into an electrical outlet.
3.) All LEDs will flash momentarily, then the charger will begin charging without user intervention.
4.) The charger can now be left connected to the battery at all times to provide maintenance charging.
Understanding Charge LEDs.
The charger has one (1) Charge LED. This Charge LED indicates the connected battery(s) state-of-charge (SOC). See the explanation below:
LED
Pulsing Red LED The Red Charge LED will slowly pulse “on” and “o” when the battery is less than 75% fully charged.
Solid Green LED When the batter y is 100% charged, the Charge LED will be solid green.
Pulsing Green LED
Understanding Advanced Diagnostics.
The Error, Hot, and Standby LEDs together shall indicate error conditions shown in the table below:
Error
Error LED
Hot LED
Single alternating flash
- Error and Standby
Double alternating flash
- Error and Standby
Triple alternating flash
- Error and Standby
Explanation
The Green Charge LED will slowly pulse “on” and “o” when the battery is between 75% and 100% charged and during
battery optimization charging. It is normal for optimization charging to occur on a regular basis after the battery is fully
charged.
Reason/Solution
Reverse polarity. Reverse the battery connections. Or battery voltage is too low for charger to detect.
Charger is outside of its safe operating temperature and is not charging. Allow charger to cool down.
Battery will not hold a charge. Have battery checked by a professional.
Possible battery short. Have battery checked by a professional.
Battery voltage is too high for the selected charge mode. Check the battery.

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 aect 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 dier due to
battery conditions. The time to charge a normally discharged battery is based on a 50% DOD.
