Note: When only using one battery connect output 1, output 2, and output 3 red wires
to the positive side of the battery, and connect the black or yellow ground wires to
the negative side of the battery. Not recommended for ProTournament300 or 300Quad

above to either one of the two batteries.
Always connect each charger output to a single 12V battery even if the batteries
are wired series for 24V or 36V.
Charging Batteries
The ProTournament Series is designed to charge your batteries 2 times faster than
leading traditional chargers. "Distributed-On-Demand
™
3 Step Charging" will not only
provide you with a significantly faster charging process it will ensure your batteries are
charged to 100% while it conditions and extends the life of each battery.
1.
Open all battery compartments and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before applying AC
power to your charger.
2.
Make sure all DC battery connections are tight and clean. Follow battery manufacturer's
recommendations for battery cell caps. (loosen caps if applicable)
3.
Connect a heavy duty U.L. approved extension cord to the ProTournament charger first.
After connecting the extension cord to the charger then proceed to plug the extension
cord to a nearby 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
4.
Observe the on-board mode LED for a solid red, flashing red indication. This will tell you
what mode your charger is in.
5.
Charge your batteries until the tri-mode LED is solid green. This indicates the charging
process is completed and your batteries are 100% charged and are being maintained
in a gentle float / storage mode. (recommended while your boat is not in use).
The ProTournament can be left on in this mode indefinitely and will never overcharge your
batteries.
Refer to the page 5.
6.
When ready to use your boat, unplug the extension cord from the 120VAC outlet first,
followed by unplugging the charger.

Battery Charger and simply hold down the “Push-to-Test” (yellow) button and observe
