No Blue LED Indicator
Check for loss of AC power at the 120 VAC outlet. Confirm GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupt) outlet has not tripped. Check with a meter or 120 VAC test light that AC is
present at the end of your extension cord.
If everything above checks out ok, contact ProMariner for product service.

No Red or Green LED Indicators
Confirm battery is > 5 VDC and all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity
connections at the battery and that all connections are clean and tight.
With the AC Power removed and the engine off, check the charge level of the battery
with a DC meter or handheld DC tester. If there is no charge level indication for the
battery, please remove the battery and have it tested by your local battery dealer to
determine if it has one or more bad cells.
If everything above checks out ok, contact ProMariner for product service.
Battery not charging, Blue AC Power LED and RED Charging LED On
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections and that
all connections are clean and tight. With the charger on, read DC voltage at the battery.
If the reading is less than 13 volts DC proceed with the following:
A. Disconnect AC power at the outlet.
B. Go to pages 12-13 of this manual and confirm your ProSport 1.5 model charger
is connected correctly as illustrated in the installation drawings.
C. Upon completing B above; plug your charger into AC power and observe the LED
center. Charger should be in the charging mode (charge status indicator should
be red). After completing a full charge cycle, 10-12 hours or more for deeply
discharged or completely dead batteries, the charge mode LED indicator should be
green and the AC power LED should be blue.
Note: If a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) is available to you, instead of waiting to complete a
full charge cycle, you can simply use a DVM and take DC voltage measurements across
the 12 volt battery. As long as the voltage continues to increase while the red charging
LED is on, this will serve as a confirmation that the charger is properly connected and
is properly charging.
