Guide to Choosing the Right SOLAR Pro-Logix Battery Charger
Each SOLAR Pro-Logix battery charger is designed to optimally charge a specific
range of battery sizes. Choosing the right charger for your specific needs will be best
served by matching the charger that best corresponds to the batteries you plan to
charge with the charger, as illustrated in the chart below.
Model No. Optimal Battery Range
PL2208 8Ah – 60Ah
PL2212 14Ah – 175Ah
PL2216 25Ah – 200Ah
Any SOLAR Pro-Logix battery charger can be used to charge a battery above the
optimal charge range for that charger. The charging will be performed both safely and
effectively for the battery – the only variable will be the time it takes for the battery to
reach a fully charged state.
Many cranking batteries do not express the battery capacity in Amp Hours. The Amp
Hour rating of the battery can be derived if you have the Reserve Capacity. If the
battery capacity is rated in Reserve Capacity (in minutes), use the following formula to
convert Reserve Capacity to Amp Hours.
