Operation after Applying AC Power to a ProSport Charger
Connected to Discharged Batteries
(The following example is for the factory setting of Flooded (lead-acid) batteries) When power is applied the ProSport
performs a self test of the battery charger electronics and the batteries connected to the battery charger.
During the startup test the battery type LED will be illuminated and the red charge mode LED will flash indicating that
the unit is in a self test mode. When complete and if there are no faults, the charger's system check OK indicator will
illuminate green and the ProSport's solid red charging LED will be ON indicating the charge process is initiated.
Note: If there is a fault the appropriate bank LED will illuminate and the charge process may not start, depending on the
location of the fault. See page 25 for further troubleshooting details.
If there are no Battery Faults, the Green System Check OK LED will illuminate and the following sequences will
proceed:
The red battery type LED (factory set for standard Flooded (lead-acid)/AGM batteries) will illuminate.
The red charge mode LED will illuminate indicating the charger has started its multi-stage charging process.
When the charge process is approximately 80% complete the red charge mode indicator will turn off and the amber
conditioning LED will turn on indicating the conditioning mode.
When the multi-stage charge process is completed you will observe the following:Battery type red LED goes OFF.
The red charging LED and the amber conditioning LED will be off and the green ready/maintain LED will illuminate
indicating your batteries are fully charged.
The only LEDs on after the multi-stage charge process is completed are the green system OK LED, blue AC power LED
and the green ready/maintain LED.
Multi-Stage Charging Overview
Stage 1 - System Check OK and Battery Analyzing: During this stage the ProSport red "Charge" LED will flash indi-
cating ProSport is analyzing all battery connections in addition to checking each battery is capable of being charged. Upon
completion the "System Check OK" indicator will illuminate green followed by Stage 2 Charging.
Stage 2 - Charging: During this mode the "Charging" indicator will be red. The ProSport Series will use all of its available
charging amps (as controlled by temperature) until the battery voltage is raised to 14.6 VDC (Flooded lead-acid factory setting).
Stage 3 - Conditioning: During this mode the "Conditioning" status indicator will be amber. Batteries will hold at 14.6 VDC
(factory set for Flooded lead-acid batteries) to complete charging while conditioning each battery connected. Upon completion
the ProSport will go into its Energy Saver Mode.
Stage 4 - Auto Maintain (Energy Saver Mode): During this mode the blue "Power" and green "Auto Maintain" LED's
will be on indicating Stage 2 charging and Stage 3 conditioning are completed. At this time ProSport will initiate its Auto Main-
tain (Energy Saver Mode) which will monitor and Auto Maintain batteries only when needed to maintain a full state of charge.
Stage 5 - Storage Recondition Mode: During this mode the ProSport "Storage Recondition Mode" green indicator will
illuminate with a slow fade in and out pulse. This indicates that while your batteries/boat are in storage the ProSport will
automatically recondition all batteries for up to 3 hours once a month extending battery life and maximizing on the water
battery power performance.
