Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right Pro-Guide charger?
Match the charger's supported battery chemistry, system voltage, number of banks and charging amperage to your battery setup.
What does “bank” mean on a battery charger?
Each bank is an independent charging output. A two-bank charger can charge two compatible battery circuits, while a three-bank charger can charge three.
Can one charger charge different battery types?
Some Pro-Guide chargers offer selectable charge profiles on individual banks. Compatibility varies by model, so check the charger's specifications for supported chemistries and voltages.
How long will it take to charge my battery?
Approximate charging time depends on battery capacity, charger output and how deeply the battery has been discharged. As a basic estimate, divide the amp-hour capacity that needs to be replaced by the charger's amperage. Actual charging time can vary as the charger completes its charging stages.
Can I permanently install the charger in my boat?
Pro-Guide on-board chargers are designed for installed applications when mounted according to the product instructions. Follow all mounting, ventilation and wiring requirements provided with the charger.

Customer Reviews
I just opened this item today and was deeply disappointed to find that third prong for the plug was mangled straight out of the box. I have a picture to show the condition of the plug straight out of the box (I will be glad to share if/when asked). I was able to bend it enough to plug in but am concerned that after a few uses it will break off. As a first time Pro Guide customer, I’m very disappointed with the quality of battery charger I have been provided. I hope this can be remedied to my satisfaction.
To save room in my boat with my 36 V trolling motor I ordered a 36 V lithium it came quickly. It was perfect. It’s a great battery.Website was easy to use customer service with polite and professional would recommend
Bought a setup from Pro Guide about 6 months ago. 1 AGM 31 for Yamaha 250 SHO and electronics, Lithium 36 50AH battery for my Ultrex, and the Charger to keep up. I have been very pleased with how this setup keeps us out on the water. 50AH is plenty of charge to fish a weekend tournament for sure.
