Common Concerns Answered
Will this charger damage my batteries if left connected?
The Dual Pro RealPRO Series employs intelligent charging algorithms that prevent overcharging, ensuring your batteries remain healthy even when connected long-term.
Is this charger suitable for saltwater environments?
Yes, the RealPRO Series is specifically designed with waterproof construction to endure the corrosive conditions of marine environments, including saltwater exposure.
What happens if one of my batteries fails?
This charger is designed with independent bank monitoring, meaning the failure of one battery will not impede the charging of the other banks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many batteries can the 2-6 bank configuration support?
The charger is configurable to support between two and six individual battery banks, allowing for flexible system integration.
Can I charge a 12V battery and a 24V battery simultaneously?
No, the charger manages either 12V or 24V systems across all connected banks, not a mixed configuration of voltages at the same time.
What is the maximum charging current per bank?
While the total output is 12A, the individual bank output is intelligently distributed and capped at 6A per bank to optimize charging profiles.
What type of battery chemistries does this charger support?
The Dual Pro RealPRO Series chargers are generally compatible with lead-acid, AGM, and gel batteries, but always consult the manual for specific chemistry support.
Does this charger require a specific mounting orientation?
The charger is designed for versatile installation and typically does not require a specific mounting orientation due to its waterproof and robust build.
