BATTERY SPECS
The following recommendations should ONLY be considered as guidelines.
Always refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for battery
charging. The G3500 is suitable for charging all types of 6V &12V lead-acid
batteries, including Wet (Flooded), Gel, MF (Maintenance-Free) and AGM
(Absorption Glass Mat) batteries and battery sizes from 1.2 to 120Ah (and 1.2
to 14Ah for small batteries). The battery charger can also maintain all battery
sizes.
CHARGE MODES
The G3500 is equipped with eight (8) charging modes: 6V NORM, 6V COLD/
AGM, 12V NORM, 12V COLD/AGM, SMALL 6V NORM, SMALL 6V COLD/
AGM, SMALL 12V NORM and SMALL 12V COLD/AGM. Before selecting a
charge mode, it is important to understand the differences and the purpose of
each mode. The charge modes are explained below:
The “normal” (“NORM”) charge mode is for charging
Wet Cell, Maintenance-Free and Gel Cell batteries. If
you are unsure of the chemistry of your battery, use
the NORM charge mode. When selected, a Red LED
will illuminate.
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
o F (0 o 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 NORM charge mode. When selected,
a Red LED will illuminate.

MODE EXPLANATION
The COLD/AGM charge mode is for charging 12V
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
o F (0 o 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
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.

WICKED SMART TIP
Amp Hour (Ah) is a rating that measures a battery’s storage capacity.
The Ah rating indicates how much amperage is available in the battery
over a twenty (20) hour period. In order to determine how many
constant Amps the battery can output for 20 hours, divide the Ah rating
by 20. For example, if you have a 100Ah battery, it can deliver 5 Amps
for 20 hours before it is fully discharged (100 / 20 = 5).
Now That’s Smart, Wicked Smart.™

CHARGE MODES continued
The SMALL charge modes are for charging smaller capacity batteries (1.2 to
14 Ah) typically found on a motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile and some lawn and
garden equipment. Use the SMALL charge modes when dealing with SMALL
Ah batteries. The SMALL charge modes are explained below:
