Manuals

The ProMariner ProNautic 1260P is a digital marine battery charger rated 60A at 12 VDC, with three battery bank outputs. It takes 100 to 240 VAC input and measures 12.25 by 8.5 by 3.5 inches. It offers twelve charge profiles and 4-stage charging, chosen by the user. Output is shared among the banks according to what each battery needs, a remote temperature probe is included, and the charger is ignition protected and current limiting.

Our take

With 60A at 12 VDC split across three banks according to what each battery needs, one charger can look after several batteries at once, and the included remote temperature probe lets it compensate for battery temperature.

From our buying guide

NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.

Check before you buy:

  • It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
  • Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
  • It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
