Charging Your Batteries
The ProSportHD is designed to charge, condition, and auto maintain your batteries during short
or long term periods of storage or non use. Please follow these steps each time you use your
ProSportHD Charger:
1. Read manual and all warnings.
2. Review "Preparing to Charge a Battery" on page 6.
3. Ensure charger is installed as per the installation instructions.
4. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ProSportHD Charger first. After
connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby
GFCI protected outlet. Anytime power is applied to the ProSportHD the blue LED will illuminate.
5. The Mode LED will pulse blue indicating the charger is in Analyze mode. While the charger
is analyzing your batteries, check that your have the correct battery profile selected. This
mode takes approximately 1 minute for the ProSportHD to do a self test, check all
wiring connections, and make sure the batteries are greater than 2.5 Volts DC and
are able to take a charge.
Assuming there are no battery faults, the green System Check OK LED will
illuminate and the following charger operation sequences will proceed:
Note: If there is a bad connection, reverse polarity, or a battery that is below 2.5 VDC that can
not accept a charge, then a RED Battery Trouble status LED will illuminate for the battery that
requires attention. See page 27 for further troubleshooting details.
6. The mode LED will transition to red indicating the charger has entered the Charging stage
as outlined in the Multi-Stage Charging Overview section of this manual.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE. Avoid contact during charging operation as unit will be hot
to the touch but operating safely and properly.
7. The mode LED will transition to amber indicating that the ProSportHD will hold all batteries
at the selected absorption voltage to complete charging by conditioning each battery for up
to 3 hours as needed.
8. When the charge process is complete (or if your batteries are fully charged when you apply
AC power) the mode LED will transition to green indicating your batteries are fully charged
and the charger is in auto maintain mode.
