Installation
5. Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning each terminal post with a wire brush until a shiny surface is
obtained.
6. Run cables free from sharp objects and hold each in place with cable ties. Coil excess cable, do not cut
or shorten the length of the cables, as in-line fuses are located 4 inches from the end of each positive (red)
cable. In addition, there are fuses in all but one of the negative (black) leads. These fuses protect the charger
and output cables in the event of a wiring short. We recommend the use of wire ties or cable clamps to
provide strain relief for the cables and to reduce the risk of damage to the cables or connections.
7. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on pages 16-22. Make sure the (black) wires are connected as
illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the (red) wires are connected to the positive side of the battery.
Important Note: Your ProSport charger will not operate properly if it is not connected properly to each
battery. Reminder, The ProSport and each DC jacketed bank cable must be properly connected to
"individual 12V batteries". Number of DC jacketed bank cables equals the number of batteries that must
be individually connected. Example: a 3 bank ProSport 20 Three Bank charger must be connected to 3
individual 12V batteries, as illustrated on pages 16-22. Simply choose the illustration that has the same
number of charger output bank cables as your ProSport Battery Charger in hand and wire exactly as
shown (choose the illustration that matches your application) for proper charger operation.
8. Make sure all DC connections are correct, tight, and free from corrosion.
9. Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your boat at least 21 inches from the charger, batteries,
and fuel fill lines.
10. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the battery charger first. After connecting the
extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby 120/230 VAC
GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Always remove the extension cord from the
120/230 VAC outlet first when charging is completed, followed by unplugging the charger. You are now
connected and charging your batteries. View the LED indicators.
4 Steps to Wire your ProSport Charger Correctly
STEP 1: Simply choose the illustration that has the same number of charger output bank cables as your
ProSport Battery Charger in hand and wire exactly as shown (choose the illustration that matches your
application) for proper charger operation.
STEP 2: Do not remove your batteries series or parallel jumper cables that interconnect batteries to each
other. ProSport Chargers are designed with isolated outputs and series or parallel jumper cables do not have
to be removed.
STEP 3: Your ProSport charger will not operate properly if it is not connected properly to each battery.
Reminder, the ProSport and each DC jacketed bank cable must be properly connected to "individual 12V
batteries". Number of DC jacketed bank cables equals the number of batteries that must be individually
connected. Example: a three bank ProSport 20 3 Bank must be connected to 3 individual 12V batteries. As
Illustrated on Pages 16-22. Select your battery / trolling motor configuration for the specific wiring illustration
needed for your charger.
