Auto Maintain (Energy Conservation Mode) - When charger has properly charged and conditioned the batteries,
it will enter its Auto Maintain (Energy Conservation Mode). In this Mode the charger will monitor and Auto
Maintain the battery voltages as listed in the battery types chart above. During this Auto Conservation Mode
the Standby LED will be on - to view full display, including voltage and current, press any function
button. This will place the unit in a continuing maintenance mode. During extended periods of non-use,
Battery Health Mode will initiate every 21 days ensuring fully conditioned batteries which will be ready to go.
NOTE: Damage can result from improper use of the custom setting. Any damage experienced while using
this setting is the responsibility of the user and not covered by the Professional Mariner warranty. ALWAYS
consult the battery manufacturer if you are unsure of the battery chemistry or appropriate selection
NOTE: For 24 volt models double the voltages shown above or refer to product label.
Lithium Battery Caution: There are many types of Lithium batteries with various charging requirements. Improper
charging can result in damage to the battery or catastrophic failure of the battery resulting in battery damage or
even fire in extreme cases. You should take extreme caution in the selection of your Lithium Battery system and the
all of the onboard charging methods used for this type of battery. The ProNauticP series only provides the bulk and
float charging voltage and current for this type of battery. The ProNauticP does not replace the required individual
cell management electronics required by lithium batteries. Consult your lithium battery supplier for details.
