Common Concerns Answered
Why is this charger more expensive than basic models?
The Dual Pro PS3 with the integrated B.O.S. system offers advanced battery management beyond simple charging, actively balancing energy between battery banks to quadruple run time and significantly extend battery lifespan, which is a critical factor in overall ownership cost.
Is the B.O.S. system complicated to understand?
While the advanced capabilities of the B.O.S. system may require initial review of the manual, its core function is to automatically manage battery health, requiring minimal user intervention once installed and set up correctly for optimal performance.
The AC power cord is short, what are my options?
The included 3-foot AC power cord is standard for many marine installations. For longer runs, standard, marine-grade extension cords of appropriate gauge can be safely utilized to reach your desired power outlet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the B.O.S. Battery Optimization System and how does it work?
The B.O.S. (Battery Optimization System) is an integrated technology that actively monitors and shuttles energy between connected battery banks. It equalizes charge levels, preventing individual batteries from being over or undercharged, thereby increasing overall pack strength, performance, and significantly extending battery lifespan.
What types of batteries are compatible with the Dual Pro PS3 charger?
The Dual Pro PS3 charger is approved for use with both traditional Wet Cell (flooded lead-acid) batteries and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries, providing versatility for different marine power systems.
What is the total amperage output of the PS3 charger?
The Dual Pro PS3 charger provides a total output of 45 Amperes, distributed across its three independent charging banks, with each bank capable of delivering 15 Amperes.
Is the Dual Pro PS3 charger waterproof?
Yes, the Dual Pro PS3 charger features a waterproof construction, ensuring reliable operation and durability in the demanding marine environment, whether on fresh or saltwater.
Can this charger be used for applications other than marine?
Yes, while designed to meet stringent marine standards like ignition protection, the Dual Pro PS3 charger with its advanced multi-bank charging and B.O.S. capabilities is also highly effective for golf carts, RVs, utility vehicles, and any application requiring the optimal management of multiple batteries wired in series.
