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 multi-stage charging process delivers five modes of operation
that include: start up diagnostics, charging, conditioning, auto maintain and storage reconditioning
of each battery. This process is proven to extend the life of your batteries and will fully charge
your batteries each time you connect to AC power. ProSport delivers increased power and
performance while providing improved durability and heat transfer.
The ProSport Distributed-On-Demand ™ Charging Technology will automatically sense and distribute
100% of the available charging output of 8,12, 15 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 also includes an indication of a fault or failure detected at each battery that
is connected to the charger and can be seen on the top of the unit when installed.
Note: ProSport On-Board 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).
Important: The pair of red and black wires in 1 cable jacket MUST GO TO THE SAME 12VDC battery.
Each charger cable must
be connected to 1 battery,
just as shown. Observe
cable jacket
black to (-) and red to (+).
Do this for each battery.
When connecting to an engine start battery only connect the battery bank cable that is LABELED:
"FOR ENGINE BATTERY, USE THIS BANK CABLE ONLY".
Application Tip
If your application is for 4D or 8D large capacity batteries, please refer to ProMariner's website
www.promariner.com and view our ProNauticP Hardwired Charger Assortment for a model that
is correct for this group size of batteries.
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.
Note: The ProSport must be connected to batteries to operate. It will not operate as a
12 volt power supply.

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.
