How Distributed-On-Demand
™
Charging Technology Works
G E N E R A L O V E R V I E W
ProTournament
elite’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 ProTournament240
elite the
unused 6 amps will automatically be Distributed-On-Demand
™
to your house or trolling motor
batteries, providing 11 amps to each of your deep cycle batteries for faster charging.
Install your ProTournament
elite 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 ProTournament
elite and proceed to plug your
extension cord in at a nearby 120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupt) outlet.
With your ProTournament
elite 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 ProTournament
elite’s design incorporates a new storage auto recondition mode that
stimulates and auto reconditions your onboard batteries for 3 hours once a month and when
completed will resume its normal auto maintain mode. During the storage auto recondition
mode the auto maintain LED will remain green and the auto storage recondition mode LED
will fade-in fade-out pulse, indicating your batteries are being reconditioned and are fully
charged during this process.
