Multi-Stage Charging Overview
ProSport's Distributed-On-Demand
™
Charging
Technology ensures 100% of the available
charging amps are fully utilized. The ProSport
Series will distribute its total available charging
amps to meet the demand of each battery on-
board. Let’s say your engine start battery only
needs 2 amps from your “ProSport 12” (6/6) 2 bank
charger; No problem the unused 4 amps will be
automatically Distributed-On-Demand
™
to battery
bank # 2 providing a total of 10 amps to the trolling
motor battery versus only 5 amps that the
conventional 5/5 charger would provide. The
competitive 5/5 charger has a 5 amp limit per bank
.

Note: Above illustration reflects typical battery usage after a day of fishing.
Trolling motor batteries are 50% discharged and not usable. Engine start battery
is 90% charged from the engine charging system.
Competitive chargers have an amp limitation
per bank. As illustrated the (5/5) 10 amp charger
can not transfer the unused 3 amps not required
by the engine start battery, leaving only a
maximum of 5 amps for the trolling motor battery.
