INTRODUCTION
Pro Charging Systems (PCS) has been manufacturing waterproof, on-board battery charging
systems for the marine industry since 1989. Our charging systems are designed and built tough
to withstand intense vibration, extreme temperature variations and submersion without damaging
the unit. Our systems use temperature compensation in order to fully charge a battery in hot or
cold environments and are controlled by microprocessors in order to assure precise control over
each totally independent charging bank. All of our chargers have true reverse polarity protection
and incorporate a float maintenance mode upon completion of each charge cycle.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by PCS may result in a risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury to persons.
To reduce risk of damage to the electrical plug and power cord, always pull by the electrical plug
rather than by the power cord when disconnecting charger.
When using an extension cord, make sure:
1. That pins on the extension cord plug are the same number, size and shape as those of
the charger’s plug;
2. That extension cord meets UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) acceptance and is in
proper operating condition;
3. That wire size is large enough for the ac ampere rating of charger.

Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace the cord or plug immediately.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, or if it has been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way; contact our technical support group for assistance (800.742.2740).
Do not disassemble charger; contact technical support when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
1. WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. Batteries
generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost
importance that prior to each use of your charger, you read this manual and follow the
instructions exactly.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer and by the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of battery. Review all cautionary markings on any product being utilized in or
around the charging device.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you
work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, eyes, or
other surfaces.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near
battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention
promptly.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. This might cause a spark
or short-circuit a battery, possibly resulting in an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID (lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell, and AGM) battery
only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starterÂmotor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These dry cell batteries may explode, causing personal injury and
damage to property.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE XTREME IN A BATTERY CONFIGURATION
THAT UTILIZES A SERIES CONNECTION FROM THE CRANKING BATTERY TO ONE OF THE
TROLLING MOTOR BATTERIES. SEVERE SPARKING AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE PROXTRA
CIRCUITRY MAY OCCUR AND THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
