Fully Automatic Charge Profile
The ProSportHD is designed for all 12 Volt Flooded (Lead-Acid), AGM and Gel batteries.
After completing the installation of your new ProSportHD Charger and with no wiring or connection
errors, the battery(s) connected are greater than 2.5VDC and can accept a charge, the ProSportHD
will sequentially perform the following 5-Stage Digital Performance Charging Process. If your
battery(s) are full, the charger will start maintaining your batteries immediately after it finishes
analyze mode.
5 Stage Performance Charging Overview
Stage 1 - Analyze & System Check OK: During this stage the ProSportHD Mode LED will
pulse blue indicating it is analyzing all battery connections and ensuring each battery is capable
of being charged. When completed successfully, the System Check OK indicator will illuminate
green. This takes approximately 1 minute.
Stage 2 - Charge: During this stage the ProSportHD Mode LED will be solid red and the
ProSportHD will use all of its available charging amps (as controlled by temperature) until the
battery voltage is raised to the selected Battery Types absorption voltage (see page 14).
Stage 3 - Condition: During this stage the ProSportHD Mode LED will be solid amber and
the ProSportHD will hold all batteries at the selected absorption voltage to complete charging
while conditioning each battery connected for up to 3 hours as needed.
Stage 4 - Auto Maintain (Energy Saver Mode): During this stage the ProSportHD's Mode
indicator will be solid green, indicating it is monitoring and auto maintaining your batteries when
needed to maintain a full state of charge. At this time, the blue Power LED, green System OK
and green Mode LEDs will remain on letting you know your batteries are ready when you are.
Stage 5 - Storage Recondition: During this stage the ProSportHD will enter into its once a month
Storage Recondition mode. The green Mode LED will pulse indicating, while your batteries / boat
are in storage, the ProSportHD is reconditioning all batteries for up to 3 hours once a month to
extend battery life and provide maximum reserve power performance on the water.

Understanding Battery Types & Charger Settings
There are three primary types of batteries in the marketplace today; standard Flooded (Lead-
Acid), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)/ high performance AGM, 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. Shown below are typical battery voltages at absorption and float levels.

Green AGM (HP AGM*)
Yellow GEL
*Only on ProSportHD20 and ProSportHD20 Global
NOTE: AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are not Gel (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid)
batteries. Gel batteries require a completely different charge profile that must be selected
versus the out of the box factory setting. AGM batteries can accept the same charging
profile as Flooded (Lead-acid) batteries.
Selecting a Charging Profile & Understanding Battery Types
Your battery charger is equipped with a user programmable battery type selector that
is factory set for standard Flooded (Lead-Acid) batteries.
To select a different battery profile, use the following steps:
1. Power on the charger.
2. Press and hold the select button for more than 2 seconds to enter battery type select.
Note: You can only enter battery type selection in analyze mode (Pulsing blue status LED)
3. Press and release the select button to cycle through battery types.
4. Press and hold the select button for more than 2 seconds to set the battery type.
