Battery is Not Charging, Red and Green Indicator is “on”
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery, and that all connections are clean and tight.
Reverse polarity
connections will blow output fuse, resulting in no output voltage.
With the charger on, read DC voltage at each battery. If any of the readings
are less than 13 VDC Proceed with the following:
A. Disconnect AC power at the 120VAC outlet.
B. Remove charger cables from each battery.
C. Reconnect AC power and read DC Voltage across each output cable, if
output voltage is approximately 13.3 VDC the charger is ok and each battery
should be tested with a hydrometer with the charger and engine off to determine
if one or more batteries have bad cells. (batteries should always be replaced
in sets, and always the same type.)
D. If there is no output when trying to read DC voltage check each output fuse
and replace as needed.
If the DC voltage at each charger output is less than 13.0 volts contact ProMariner
for product service.
No Red or Green LED Indicator
Check for loss of AC power at the 120VAC Outlet. Confirm GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) has not tripped. Check with a meter or 120VAC test light
that AC is present at the end or your extension cord.
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery and that all connections are clean and tight.
With the AC Power removed and the engine off, check the charge level of
each battery with a DC meter or Handheld DC Tester. If there is no charge
level indication for a battery, check each battery with a hydrometer to determine
if it has one or more bad cells. (batteries should always be replaced in sets,
and always the same type.)
If everything above checks out ok, contact ProMariner for product service.

General Overview
The ProSport charger is a fully Automatic/ Electronic Multi-Stage On-board Marine
Battery Charger. ProSport is prewired for easy installation and is 100% waterproof
for fresh and salt water applications.
The ProSport incorporates an extruded aluminum housing with plastic end caps.
This design offers improved durability and heat transfer while comparing it to full
plastic case competitive products. The ProSport offers multi-stage charging which
includes a "Float " maintenance mode that is safe for long and short term storage.
ProSport can be left on indefinitely without harming or over charging your batteries.
The ProSport's Distributed-On-Demand
™
Multi-Stage Charging Technology will
automatically sense and distribute 100% of the available charging amp output,
8,12,or 20 amps (model specific) to any one bank or combination of all banks. Each
battery bank output is fully isolated.
Easy to view LED indicators will provide you with AC Power On and Charging Status.
The LED Indicators can be seen from the front and side of the charger when
installed.
The ProSport is available in 5 models and can be used in 12,24, and 36 volt (model
specific) configurations without rewiring or switching. Just attach the DC output
cable terminals as illustrated in the installation section of this manual.
