(PART #'S: 28106, 28210)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the chargers.
Read the entire manual before using. Also read all instructions and cautions for and
on the charger, batteries and equipment in the vicinity of the batteries.
INTRODUCING THE CHARGERS
The Marinco chargers are designed to both recharge your batteries, and extend
your battery’s life in applications where it is stored for long periods of time. They
are multi-stage, completely automatic, lightweight, silent, battery chargers and each
output produces 12 Volts DC at either a full 5 or 6 Amps (model specic), while using
much less AC current than other charger types. When the charger is attached to your
batteries and plugged into a standard 115 Volt / 60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green
LED’s let you know the unit is recharging and maintaining your batteries. Model 28210
uses Sense-Send Technology to quickly charge two batteries and will automatically
start charging when the battery voltage becomes low.

INJURY.
!
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF LEAD ACID BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON IT IS OF
THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU
USE THE CHARGER.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity
of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
Important Safety Instructions
1) Use of an attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of
re, electric shock or injury to persons.
2) To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
when disconnecting the chargers.
3) An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of re and electric shock. If an extension cord
must be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as
those of the plug on the charger;
b) That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of the charger as specied
below
4) Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug
immediately.
5) Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way.
6) Do not attempt to disassemble the charger.
7) To reduce the risk of injury unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning o controls alone will not reduce the risk.
8) Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL: CHARGE PRO® BATTERY CHARGERS
2) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
3) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near a battery.
4) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters the eye, immediately ood the eye with cold, running water for
at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of the battery.
6) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
may spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
7) Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a shortcircuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe
burn.
8) Use battery charger for charging a lead-acid battery only. It is not intended to
supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter motor
application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries will burst and cause injury
to persons and damage to property.
9) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Preparing to Charge Precautions
Before charging a battery with the charger, read the following precautions:
1) Do NOT operate the charger if the cables or an LED is damaged.
2) Make sure all accessories on the product you are charging are OFF.
3) If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove the
grounded terminal from the battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the product
are o, so as not to cause an electrical arc.
4) Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being
charged.
5) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact
with eyes.
6) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches levels specied by the
battery manufacturer, if applicable. Do not overll. For a battery without cell caps,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
7) Study all battery manufacturer's specic precautions while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
8) Determine voltage of battery by referring to product's manual, and make sure it
matches output rating of battery charger.

AC Connection and Grounding Precautions
!
DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE THIS CHARGER WITH A TWO BLADED ADAPTER PLUG OR
EXTENSION CORD. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
AFTER SECURING THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS, PLUG THE AC LINE CORD INTO
AN AVAILABLE AC OUTLET THAT IS PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (GFCI) BREAKER.
Grounding and AC power cord connection Instructions: Charger should be grounded
to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
!
DANGER
Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not t outlet, have proper
outlet installed by a qualied electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an
electric shock.
INSTALLING THE CHARGER
Choosing Charging Location
1) The charger should have at least eight inches of unobstructed area on all sides of
the unit for eective cooling. The case of this charger will become warm during
operation. Because the charger is convection cooled (airow over the back of the
charger), the optimum mounting position for the charger is vertical. Mounting on
its back on a horizontal surface may cause the charger to slightly reduce amperage
output due to the thermal protection built in. Do not install the charger on carpeted,
upholstered, or varnished surfaces.
2) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
3) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
4) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specic gravity
or lling battery.
5) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
6) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
Mounting the Charger
1) Use corrosion resistant 3/16” dia. or # 10 bolts, backed by a at washer, and
secured to the mounting surface with a split-ring lock washer.
2) Hold the charger to the mounting surface and mark the holes.
3) Remove the charger and drill the mounting holes.
4) Align the charger and assemble the mounting hardware. Secure the charger.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL: CHARGE PRO® BATTERY CHARGERS
DC Connection Precautions
1) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after removing ac cord from electric
outlet. Never allow the ring terminals to touch each other.
2) Check polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS., P, +) battery post usually
has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG., N, -) post.
3) Connect Red charger output wire to POSITIVE post, Black charger wire to NEGATIVE.
See below diagrams for more details.
4) Do not face the battery when making the nal connection.
5) When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord and then remove clips from
battery terminal.
OPERATING THE CHARGER
Charge Cycle
1) Soft Start – Charger veries connections are good and the battery is capable of
accepting a charge. Batteries with very low voltage will be slowly charged to not
harm the battery. When the battery voltage reaches 10V for 30 seconds the charger
switches to the next stage.
2) Bulk Stage – the charger uses constant current and charges the battery to 14.3
volts. When the battery holds the voltage of 14.3 volts for 30 seconds the charger
switches to the next stage.
3) Absorption Stage - the charger uses constant voltage to charge the battery until the
charge current drops. At this point the charger will switch to the next stage.
4) Float Stage – the charger nishes the charge cycle by keeping the battery at 13.3
volts for a period of time and then moves to the next stage.
5) Maintenance – the charger will monitor the battery and if the battery voltage drops
below 12.8 volts or if 14 days have passed since the last charge, the charge cycle
will start automatically.

Sense-Send Technology
The batteries should be the same type and chemistry to provide the longest battery life
and to fully charge the batteries.
Model 28210 quickly chargers two batteries using Sense-Send Technology. The charger
senses the power needed per battery and sends the allocated power needed.
If the two batteries connected to the charger have dierent discharged levels the charger
will send the majority of the power available to the battery needing the most power
and a lower amount to the battery needing less power. This results in faster charging.
