Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
Use proper AC input voltage for charging as
indicated on the charger.
Use only a Genie authorized battery and
charger.
To Charge Battery
1 Open the battery pack lid to access the battery.
2 Remove the battery vent caps and check the
battery acid level. If necessary, add only
enough distilled water to cover the plates. Do
not overfill prior to the charge cycle.
3 Replace the battery vent caps.
4 If equipped: Set the power switch to the OFF
position. Be sure that the DC output cord is
properly connected to the battery (black to
negative, red to positive).
5 Connect the battery charger to a grounded AC
circuit.
6 If equipped: Set the AC Selector switch to the
proper voltage.
7 Set the power switch to the AUTO position.
8 Monitor the ampere meter for the correct charge
rate. The initial charge rate should be
approximately 10A. The charge rate will
decrease as the battery reaches full charge.
9 Charger models equipped with manual/auto
selector switch: If the ampere meter indicates
that the battery is not being charged, set the
power switch to the MANUAL position until the
ampere meter begins to move up the scale.
Then set the power switch to the AUTO position.
10 The charger will turn off automatically when the
battery is fully charged. If equipped: Set the
power switch to the OFF position, then
disconnect from the AC supply.

cycle is complete. Replenish with distilled water
to the bottom of the fill tube. Do not overfill.
Dry Battery Filling and
Charging Instructions
1 Remove the battery vent caps and permanently
remove the plastic seal from the battery vent
openings.
2 Fill each cell with battery acid (electrolyte) until
the level is sufficient to cover the plates.
Do not fill to maximum level until the battery charge
cycle is complete. Overfilling can cause the battery
acid to overflow during charging. Neutralize battery
acid spills with baking soda and water.
3 Install the battery vent caps.
4 Charge the battery.
5 Check the battery acid level when the charging
cycle is complete. Replenish with distilled water
to the bottom of the fill tube. Do not overfill.
