The COLD/AGM charge mode is for charging
batteries in cold weather and AGM (also known as,
“spiral wound”) batteries. If a battery’s (Wet, Gel, MF
or AGM) temperature is below 32˚F (0˚C), use the
COLD/AGM charge mode. If you are unsure of the
chemistry of your battery, DO NOT use this charge
mode, and use the NORM charge mode instead.
When selected, a Blue LED will illuminate.

The “normal” (“NORM”) charge mode is for charging
12V Wet Cell, Maintenance-Free and Gel Cell
batteries. If you are unsure of the chemistry of your
battery, use the SMALL NORM charge mode. When
selected, a Red LED will illuminate.

MODE EXPLANATION

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 identified 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 difficulty 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 first.

WICKED SMART TIP

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINALS.
The Reverse Polarity Protection feature on the G3500 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.™
