Introduction

The ProXtra is a revolutionary product specifically designed to enhance
trolling battery performance and extend the amount of battery power
available to the user between charge cycles accomplished with a
conventional battery charger. This system utilizes boat engine charging
current to charge your trolling motor batteries while the engine is running.
Solid state electronics ensure that the main starting battery is adequately
charged before allowing current to flow to the trolling motor batteries. The
ProXtra is fully protected against short circuits and reverse polarity and is
not directly connected to the ignition system or engine.
