battery is fully charged. During short or long term storage periods, ProSport’s Auto Maintain (Energy
Saver) mode will monitor and auto maintain a battery only when needed to maintain a full state of charge.
This feature significantly reduces AC Power consumption, lowers operating costs and maximizes reserve
power performance.
