Common Concerns Answered
Is the initial cost of the Dual Pro PS2 charger justified?
While the initial investment for the Dual Pro PS2 charger with B.O.S. may be higher than basic chargers, it is a direct result of its advanced technology, robust construction, and the proven longevity it provides for your battery banks. Customers consistently report extended battery life and superior performance, making it a cost-effective solution over time by reducing premature battery replacement.
What if I have trouble finding replacement parts for older Dual Pro models?
Dual Pro products, including the PS2 series, are engineered for durability and repairability. While specific part availability for very old units can occasionally require direct consultation, the PS2 is designed with accessible components to facilitate repairs and ensure continued optimal function for years of marine use.
Do I really need an active battery balancing system if my batteries seem okay?
Even seemingly functional battery packs wired in series can develop voltage imbalances over time, leading to reduced overall capacity, uneven charging, and premature failure of individual batteries. The B.O.S. system actively prevents these imbalances by equalizing voltage, ensuring all batteries perform at their peak and significantly extending their service life, a benefit you'll appreciate on extended voyages.
