How Distributed-On-Demand
™
Charging Technology Works
ProTournament
elite’s Distributed-On-Demand
™
Charging technology ensures 100% of the
available (up to 18 amps per battery) 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.

General Operation
Install your ProTournament
elite On-Board Marine Battery Charger to the guidelines in
this manual. Do not alter the ProTournament
elite during the installation process. Extra equipment
and cable extenders are available for purchase if required.
The ProTournament
elite will automatically charge and condition your batteries. Always leave
your charger plugged in to reduce sulfate build-up inside the battery; this extends your
batteries life by allowing the charger to automatically maintain and charge your batteries
while you are away. Your batteries will always be ready for your next fishing trip!
The ProTournament
elite design incorporates a Storage Recondition mode that stimulates and
reconditions your on-board batteries for 3 hours once a month and when completed will
resume its normal energy saver auto maintain mode. During this mode the Auto Maintain bar
will illuminate green with a fade-in fade-out pulse, indicating Storage Recondition mode is
active with the green Auto Maintain LED still illuminated indicating your batteries remain fully
charged during this process.
