Description
Dual Pro PS3 3 Bank Battery Charger w/ B.O.S. | Boat Supply Store
For owners of multi-battery series systems, especially those operating trolling motors on offshore fishing platforms, this charger actively prevents premature battery failure. It integrates Dual Pro's proprietary B.O.S. (Battery Optimization System) with a 45A Professional Series charger, offering 15A per bank and multi-stage, temperature-compensated charging. The B.O.S. system employs a BSAP-24 algorithm to dynamically shuttle energy between batteries wired in series, ensuring uniform voltage distribution and quadrupling typical battery run time compared to standard charging methods.

Common Concerns Answered
Is the higher initial cost justified compared to standard chargers?
The Dual Pro PS3 with B.O.S. represents a significant investment in extending battery lifespan and ensuring reliable power, potentially quadrupling run time. This advanced technology actively prevents premature battery failure, which can offset the higher upfront cost through reduced replacement expenses and improved on-water performance.
Is the B.O.S. system complex to understand?
While the B.O.S. system operates autonomously to balance battery voltage, understanding its benefits and optimal application for series-wired batteries is key. Its integration ensures that no single battery in a series is overcharged or undercharged, a common cause of premature failure in systems without active balancing.
I haven't experienced premature battery failure before, do I need B.O.S.?
The B.O.S. system is designed to proactively prevent premature battery failure, a common issue with batteries wired in series that lack active voltage balancing. Investing in this technology can safeguard against future issues and ensure consistent, reliable power for your critical marine electronics and propulsion systems.
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 a proprietary Dual Pro technology that actively monitors and balances voltage across batteries wired in series. Using the BSAP-24 algorithm, it intelligently shuttles energy between batteries to ensure they maintain equal voltage levels, preventing overcharging or undercharging of individual batteries, thereby extending overall battery life and performance.
What is the amperage output per bank for the Dual Pro PS3 charger?
The Dual Pro PS3 charger provides an output of 15A per bank, with a total combined output of 45A across its three independent banks.
Is the Dual Pro PS3 charger waterproof and suitable for marine environments?
Yes, the Dual Pro PS3 charger features a waterproof, dependable, and rugged construction specifically designed for use in both fresh and saltwater marine environments. It is also ignition protected per US Coast Guard 33 CFR 183.410 standards.
What types of battery chemistries are compatible with the Dual Pro PS3 charger and B.O.S. system?
The Dual Pro PS3 charger and B.O.S. system are approved for use with both Wet Cell and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery chemistries.
Can the Dual Pro PS3 charger be used with batteries wired in series?
Yes, the Dual Pro PS3 charger is specifically designed to excel with batteries wired in series, incorporating the B.O.S. system to actively manage and balance voltage across these configurations for optimal performance and longevity.
