Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have GEL Cell batteries?
A: AGM and GEL Batteries are often confused. The best way to determine is to look
at the battery housing and see if it is identified as a GEL battery. If you don’t know
contact the manufacturer of the battery.
Q: How do I know what profile to set my charger to based on my battery type
(i.e. manufacturer and battery technology)?
A: This manual includes some general recommendations but if you don't see
your type listed, then please check the www.onboardsolutions.biz website
under the "Support" section or call our technical support group for advice on
the best setting to choose.
Q: LEDs will not illuminate?
A: Check to make sure that an AC power connection is made. If LED's remain off,
please proceed to the test procedure on Page 12.
Q: LED's are ON but the Pro Tech C is not Charging?
A: Check Reverse Polarity Fuse, located directly under the DC End Cap. Replace
as needed and re-test unit to the procedure on page 12.
Q: Will water damage my charger?
A: Yes, these are dry mount chargers and are intended to be mounted in a dry
location. The ProTech-C 2 year limited warranty does not provide coverage for
damage caused by water.
Q: Do the chargers really need ventilation?
A: Ideally, the charger should be ventilated in order to maintain proper cooling.
Consult the factory if you are unsure of the mounting location.
Q: The ProTech-C Series charger is getting hot. What should I do?
A: The charger may get to the point where it can be touched, but, is quite warm.
This is normal. Note: the charger is thermally protected and in the event of over
temperature the ProTech-C will shut down and the "Over Temp" LED will illuminate.
Q: What are the AC Input voltage requirements, and how can I change the voltage
from 120v to 240v?
A: The ProTech-C charger is equipped with Universal / Wide Range AC input
technology and will automatically adjust for the correct voltage.
