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.

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.
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.
WICKED SMART TIP
HOW TO IDENTIFY THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINALS. The Reverse Polarity Protection feature on the G750 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.
Now That’s Smart, Wicked Smart.™
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.

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 charging process.
Step 2: Soft Start
Begins Bulk charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
Step 3: Bulk
Continues Bulk charging process, returns 90% of battery capacity.
Step 4: Absorption
Brings the charge level to 100%. The battery charger will deliver small
amounts of current to provide a safe, efcient charge and limit battery gassing.
Step 5: Maintenance
Monitors the battery voltage continuously to determine if a maintenance
charge should be initiated. If the terminal voltage falls below approximately
6.4V (6V) and 12.8V (12V), the charger will start the Maintenance cycle
until voltage reaches approximately 7.2V (6V) and 14.4V (12V) and then will
discontinue the charge cycle. Maintenance cycle is repeated indenitely to
keep the battery at full charge, without overcharging. The battery charger can
be left connected indenitely.
WICKED SMART FEATURE
ABNORMALITY PROTECTION. If the battery charger is
in the Bulk phase for more than 120 hours, the battery
charger will go into an ERROR condition. This feature
prevents damage if the battery is faulty.

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 LED 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 accidently 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 LED IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATES TO GREEN” 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.

G750
geniuschargers.com
TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
1918
• 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
phase for more than 120 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 85-130 VAC.
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.
CHARGE LED IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATES TO GREEN
If the battery charger CHARGE LED immediately illuminate to GREEN 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. “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.
LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
If the battery voltage is below 2.0VDC (6V) or 7.0VDC (12V), the ERROR
LED (Orange) and the CHARGE LED (Red) 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
process. 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
G750
geniuschargers.com
TROUBLESHOOTING
• FOR 12V BATTERIES
If you are trying to charge a 12V battery that is below 7.0VDC, switch the
battery charger into 6V charge mode to begin charging a low voltage 12V
battery. When the CHARGE LED turns from Red to Green, the battery
voltage will be above 7.0VDC and you can return the battery charger back to
the 12V charge mode.
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

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.
