Manuals

The ProSportHD 6A is a single-bank, 12V on-board charger from ProMariner. It runs from 120V AC and delivers 6 amps, with selectable charge profiles for flooded, AGM and GEL batteries. Charging is fully automatic across five stages, including a monthly reconditioning pass during storage. It weighs 3.8 lbs, comes pre-wired with 6 ft AC and DC cables, is certified to Marine UL 1236 and carries a 3 year warranty.

Our take

At 3.8 lbs with a 6 amp, single-bank output, this charger is a light unit sized for one battery in the Group 24 to 31 range. The auto-maintain mode and monthly reconditioning pass mean it can stay connected between trips.

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.
