How Distributed-On-Demand
ProSport's Distributed-On-Demand ™ Charging Technology ensures 100% of the available
charging amps are fully utilized to meet the demand of each battery on-board. For example,
if your engine start battery only needs 2 amps from your ProSport 12 (6/6 two bank charger)
the unused 4 amps will be automatically Distributed-On-Demand
motor battery, providing a total of 10 amps for faster charging versus only 5 amps that
the conventional 5/5 battery charger would provide. The competitive 5/5 charger has a 5
amp limit per bank.

General Operation

Install your ProSport On-Board Marine Battery Charger to the guidelines in this manual.
Make sure your charger and batteries are properly vented. Connect your extension cord
with no AC power present to the ProSport and proceed to plug your extension
cord in at a nearby 120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
With your ProSport plugged in properly, it will automatically/ fully charge your batteries
while it conditions and extends the life of your batteries. Always leave your charger plugged
in to reduce sulfate build-up allowing your batteries to be fully charged and maintained
for your next fishing trip.
The ProSport design incorporates a new storage recondition mode that stimulates and
reconditions your onboard batteries for 3 hours once a month and when completed will
resume its normal auto maintain mode. During the storage recondition mode the ready/maintain
LED will remain green and the storage recondition mode LED will fade-in fade-out pulse,
indicating your batteries are being reconditioned and are fully charged during this process.
