Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have GEL Cell batteries?
A: Look at the battery housing and see if it is identified as a GEL battery. If you do
not know what kind of battery you have contact the manufacturer of the batteries
you have on-board.
Q: What do I do if my ProTech-i Series LEDs do not turn on?
A: Check to make sure that an AC power connection is made. If LEDs remain off,
review the troubleshooting procedure on page 14.
Q: Will water hurt my ProTech-i Series charger?
A: Yes, these are dry compartment chargers and must be mounted in a dry location.
Damage caused by water is not covered under the ProTech-i warranty policy.
Q: How do I change my ProTech-i Series charger to GEL cell mode?
A: Please double check that you have a GEL cell battery(s). There is a misconception
that AGM is GEL. This is not the case. AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery(s) require
a different charge profile than GEL Batteries. If you have confirmed that you have
GEL (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid) battery(s), simply follow the procedure outlined
on page 6 of this manual.
Q: Does my ProTech-i Series really need 6 inches of all around clearance for ventilation?
A: We recommend this for cooling, more clearance is better.
Q: I think my ProTech-i Series charger is too hot. What should I do?
A: The charger will get to the point where it can be touched, but you would not want
to carry it across a room. This is normal. Note: the charger is thermally protected.
Q: How do I change the AC input on my ProTech i charger from 120v to 240v?
A: The NEW ProTech-i charger is equipped with the most advanced charging
technology and will automatically adjust for the correct voltage.
