Fully Automatic Charging Overview
When the ProMar1 Battery Charger is turned on the blue AC power indicator with turn on
followed by the red charging LED indicator.
The automatic charger will provide the following:
ProMar1 Charging and Conditioning - Red and Blue LED On
During this mode the unit will use its available charging amps until battery voltage is raised
to 14.1 VDC (safe for Lead Acid or Gel batteries).
The unit will charge batteries to 14.1 VDC to complete charging while conditioning batteries.
Upon completion the charger will go to into its ready mode.
AC Power and Charging LED Status Indicators
The ProMar1 Battery Charger includes three LED indicators as shown below.
1) Blue: AC Power on
2) Red: Charging
3) Green: Ready
When on, the blue LED remains on and the red LED indicates the unit is in its Automatic
Charging Mode. When charging is complete only the blue and green LEDs will remain on.
General Operation
Install your ProMar1 - Fully Automatic / On-Board Marine Battery Charger to the guidelines in

Understanding Battery Types
There are three primary types of batteries; Flooded (Lead-acid), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
and Gel Cell (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid). Traditionally, the most common type of batteries
used are Flooded (Lead-acid batteries).
Almost all Gel Cell Batteries will state that they are Gel Cell on the battery case or labels.
NOTE: AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are not Gel (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-
acid) batteries. AGM batteries are charged with a completely different charge profile
when compared to Gel batteries.
For use with Flooded (Lead-Acid) or Gel Batteries. Not for use with AGM (Absorbed
Glass Matt) or 4D or 8D large capacity batteries.
***If you are unsure as to what kind of battery you have, we recommend that you contact
the manufacturer of the battery.
