Charging Batteries

The ProSport Series is designed to charge, condition, and maintain your batteries. Please follow these steps each time you use your ProSport Charger:

1.Open all battery compartments and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before applying AC power to your charger. While charging your batteries make sure to keep your battery compartment open allowing for free air ventilation.

2.Make sure all DC battery connections are tight and clean. Follow battery manufacturer's recommendations for battery cell caps. (loosen caps if applicable)

3.Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ProSport Charger first. After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.

4.Assuming your batteries are discharged, and your ProSport is factory set for Flooded (Lead-acid) batteries, you should observe ProSport's Blue AC POWER LED Turn On, followed by the Red Charge LED and RED Battery Type LED Turning On (red is the factory setting of Flooded (Lead-acid)/AGM type batteries).

5.The Sequential Multi-Stage Charging Process is complete when only the Green READY LED and the Blue AC POWER LED will remain on indicating that your batteries are fully charged and are being maintained with a precision 13.4 Volts DC Finishing Voltage(Factory set charge profile for Flooded (Lead-acid / AGM Batteries). ProSport’s Ready/Maintenance Mode is perfect for short or long term storage and will never overcharge your batteries.

Performance Tip: For long term or winter storage/maintenance of batteries, ProMariner

recommends that every 30 days: AC power is removed by unplugging your extension cord at the GFCI outlet first, Check Battery Electrolyte levels. Re-apply AC Power to your ProSport Charger. This practice will properly maintain your batteries resulting in extended battery life and use.

6.When you are ready to use your boat, unplug your extension cord at the GFCI outlet first,

followed by unplugging the charger.

Distributed-On-Demand™Charging Versus Standard Chargers.

ProSport's "Distributed-On-Demand™" feature will automatically distribute 100% of its available charging amps of 8, 12 or 20 amps (model specific) to any one battery or combination of all batteries. This feature ensures all available charging amps are used, unlike other 2 and 3 bank On-Board Chargers with a fixed amp limit per charger bank / DC output cable.
