The ProSport Charger is designed to charge, condition, maintain and recondition 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).
Once your new ProSport is installed and properly connected to batteries you will be
ready to plug it in.
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
120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
4. Assuming your batteries are discharged, and your ProSport is factory set (black programming
cap installed) for standard Flooded (lead-acid) batteries, you should observe ProSport's self
test mode (flashing red charge mode LED), blue AC power LED turn on, followed by the red
battery type LED turning on (red is the factory setting of standard Flooded (lead-acid)/AGM
type batteries) and once the green system check OK LED turns on you will notice a solid red
charge mode indicator identifying the charging process has started.
Note: The ProSport has built in self testing to insure all batteries are connected correctly. The self test
is automatic and will take place everytime the unit is plugged into a 110 VAC outlet. The self test may
take 2 minutes to complete. During the self test the LED will flash indicating it is in self test mode. If
everything is connected properly and the batteries are OK the charger’s system check OK indicator will
illuminate green and the ProSport will then go into its charge mode indicated by a solid red LED.
If the charger does not go into the charge mode and a red "fault" LED is illuminated then make
sure your batteries have a voltage greater than 2 volts DC present and refer to the trouble shooting
section on page 21.
5. The multi-stage charging process is complete when only the green LED for the ready/maintain
mode is illuminated and the blue AC power LED 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 standard Flooded (lead-acid / AGM batteries).
6. When you are ready to use your boat, unplug your extension cord at the GFCI outlet
first, followed by unplugging the charger.
Optional Battery Bank Status Monitor
See your local dealer or retailer for the ProMariner Remote Battery Bank Status Monitor. The
remote monitor is easy to install and connects directly to your boat’s batteries. Once installed,
simply hold down the "push-to-test" button and observe the charge level indicator for each
battery (up to 3 batteries can be monitored).
Note: AC power to the battery charger and the boat’s engine must be off when using the
Remote Battery Bank Status Monitor.
