Portsmouth, N.H. – ProMariner, the leader in the design and manufacture of
on-board marine charging systems, announced today the third generation of ProSport onboard marine battery chargers. ProSport Generation 3 is the only charger available that
includes proper installation feedback with its “System Check OK” indicator confirming
it is wired correctly and batteries are ready to accept a charge. The new
charger incorporates state-of-the-art all-digital microprocessor control and deploys
the latest in digital pulse charging technology to extend battery life. It is
designed to significantly reduce AC Power consumption with the most advanced
energy saving mode. ProSport Generation 3’s unrivalled
performance and system status gives boaters the assurance and peace-of-mind that
comes with the knowledge that their charger and batteries are operating at peak
performance.
The latest edition of the industry-leading
ProSport assortment includes individual battery bank
fault indicators. In the event of a wiring problem such as reverse polarity,
spreading a battery cable over 24 or 36 volts instead of 12, or a battery short,
the indicator directs an individual to the exact battery and cable that is an
issue, saving time, money and eliminating the guess work when troubleshooting
faults. Continuing to lead the industry, ProSport
Generation 3’s Energy Saver Mode will monitor batteries and auto maintain them
only when needed to ensure a full state of charge, resulting in lower operating
cost and maximum reserve power performance. The innovative chargers extend
battery life and maximize reserve performance using digitally selectable
four-stage performance charge profiles with a built-in Storage Recondition Mode
that operates automatically every 30 days during short- and long-term storage.
“The ProSport
is the industry’s most advanced pre-wired on board marine waterproof charger
line and the features and capabilities we’ve incorporated in our new Generation
3 are sure to please all boaters,” said Jerry Demirjian,
senior vice president, ProMariner. “In addition to fast
charge times, and conditioning and reconditioning, we make it easy for boaters
to determine if their batteries and charger are connected correctly. With its energy
saving technology, ease-of-use, ‘system check ok’ and battery fault indicators,
there is no other product on the market as advanced as ProSport
Generation 3!”
ProSport Generation 3’s Distributed-On-Demand™
Charging technology takes 100% of the available charging amps and distributes
them to any one battery or combination of all batteries, as needed, for more
efficient charging. ProSport provides
at-a-glance status of AC power, charging, conditioning, auto maintain and
reconditioning modes in addition to battery type selected – Flooded / AGM or GEL standard on all
models or High Performance AGM batteries specifically on the 20 Amp Dual model.
Its high performance charging algorithms can be selected and changed with a new
selection even when batteries are replaced. Pre-wired for easy installation, the
heavy-duty recreational-grade battery chargers have a fast charge time ranging
from 8 to 10 hours (50% state of discharge) and are designed for 12, 24 and 36
volt systems. The chargers are 100% waterproof meeting the IP67 standard. Their
non-potted design is 40% lighter than older technology, epoxy-filled
competitive chargers and boasts much cooler operating temperatures for safer
and ultra-reliable operation. ProSport Generation 3 is
CEC California Energy Commission listed for its advanced “auto maintain” Energy
Saving mode, and is designed and constructed to the UL 1236 SB, CSA C22.2 No.
107.2, FCC Class A and ABYC A-31 specifications. ProSport
