Manuals

The ProNautic P 2430P is a digital battery charger rated at 30A at 24 VDC. Its input is auto-ranging, accepting 100 to 240 VAC, and it offers twelve charge profiles with four-stage charging for marine battery types. Output is shared among the battery banks according to need. A remote temperature probe is included for automatic compensation, and the charger is ignition protected and current limiting. After 21 days in maintain mode it de-sulfates the batteries on its own.

Our take

Twelve charge profiles with four-stage charging let one charger be set for different marine battery types instead of running a single fixed curve. Dual displays of charging voltage and amperage mean you can read what the charger is doing at the unit.

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.
