BATTERY SPECS
The G4 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. The G4 is suitable for charging batteries sized from 2.2 to
40Ah. The battery charger can also maintain all battery sizes.
CHARGE MODES
The G4 is equipped with four (4) charging modes per bank: 6V NORM, 6V
COLD/AGM, 12V NORM and 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:
MASTER POWER BUTTON
The G4 is equipped with a master power button that turns the entire charger
ON or OFF. If power is lost or the unit is unplugged, the G4 will return to the
last selected power state when power is restored. In addition, all four (4) banks
will return to the last selected modes.
BATTERY BANKS
The G4 contains four (4) independent battery banks, or ports, that operate
individually and allow simultaneous charging of four (4) separate batteries or
banks. All four (4) banks function exactly the same and can be individually
congured to charge in any of the four (4) charging modes. Different battery
sizes, voltages (6V or 12V), and chemistries can be charged at the same time
by using different battery banks. When not in use, the banks go into STANDBY
mode. Keep unused banks sealed with the rubber port caps when not in use.
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.

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).
