General Overview
The ProSport Charger is an Advanced Electronic and Fully Automatic Multi-Stage
On-Board Marine Battery Charger. ProSport is pre-wired for easy installation and
is 100% waterproof for fresh and salt water applications.
ProSport’s Sequential Multi-Stage Charging process delivers three sequenced
modes of operation that include: Charging, Conditioning, and Maintenance of each
battery. This process is proven to extend the life of your batteries and will fully
charge your batteries each time.
ProSport's Heavy Duty extruded aluminum housing delivers increased power and
performance while providing improved durability and heat transfer.
The ProSport's Distributed-On-Demand
™
Charging Technology will automatically
sense and distribute 100% of the available charging amp output, 8,12,or 20 amps
(model specific) to any one battery or combination of all batteries. Each battery
charger output is fully isolated.
ProSport's easy to view LED indicators will provide at a glance status of: AC power,
Battery Type, Charging, and Ready Status. The LED Status Center can be seen on
the top of the unit when installed.
Note: ProSport Waterproof Marine Battery Chargers are designed for any combination
of group 24,27,30 and 31 batteries. Each Battery Charger DC output cable must be
connected to one (1) 12 Volt DC battery (even if batteries are configured for 24 Volt
DC or 36Volt DC trolling Motor or System Applications). Most specifically you do not
have to remove series or parallel jumper cables to use your ProSport Charger. See
typical wiring diagrams for these systems in the installation section of this manual.
