USING THE G7200
BATTERY SPECS
The following recommendations should ONLY be considered as guidelines.
Always refer to the battery manufacturer's recommendations for battery
charging. The G7200 is suitable for charging all types of 12V & 24V lead-acid
batteries, including Wet (Flooded), Gel, MF (Maintenance-Free) and AGM
(Absorption Glass Mat) batteries. The G7200 can be used on battery sizes
from 14 to 230Ah (12V) and 14-120Ah (24V). The battery charger can also
maintain all sizes of 12V & 24V batteries.
CHARGE MODES
The G7200 is equipped with six (6) charging modes, 12V NORM, 12V COLD/
AGM, 24V NORM, 24V COLD/AGM, 13.6V SUPPLY and 16V BOOST. Before
selecting a charge mode, it is important to understand the differences and the
purpose of each mode. The charge modes are explained below:
MODE
EXPLANATION
12V NORM
The "normal" ("NORM") charge mode is for charging
14.4V
12V Wet Cell, Maintenance-Free and Gel Cell
batteries. If you are unsure of the chemistry of your
14-230Ah
7.2A (7200mA)
battery, use the NORM charge mode. When selected,
a Red LED will illuminate.
Red LED
The COLD/AGM charge mode is for charging 12V
12V COLD/
batteries in cold weather and AGM (also known as
AGM
"spiral wound") batteries. If a battery's (Wet, Gel, MF
14.7V
or AGM) temperature is below 32
14-230Ah
COLD/AGM charge mode. If you are unsure of the
7.2A (7200mA)
chemistry of your battery, DO NOT use this charge
Blue LED
mode, and use the NORM charge mode instead.
When selected, a Blue LED will illuminate.

EXPLANATION
The "normal" ("NORM") charge mode is for charging
24V NORM
24V Wet Cell, Maintenance-Free and Gel Cell
28.8V
batteries. If you are unsure of the chemistry of your
14-120Ah
battery, use the NORM charge mode. When selected,
3.6A (3600mA)
a Red LED will illuminate.
Red LED
The COLD/AGM charge mode is for charging 24V
24V COLD/AGM
batteries in cold weather and AGM (also known as
29.4V
"spiral wound") batteries. If a battery's (Wet, Gel, MF
14-120Ah
or AGM) temperature is below 32
3.6A (3600mA)
COLD/AGM charge mode. If you are unsure of the
Blue LED
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 13.6V SUPPLY and 16V BOOST charge modes are highly specialized
charging modes, as indicated by the gray box on the user interface. These
charge modes should be used with CAUTION. It is extremely important
you read and understand these charge modes before operating. The 13.6V
SUPPLY and 16V BOOST are for 12V LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. The
13.6V SUPPLY and 16V BOOST charge modes are explained on the next
page.

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.™
