Jim is a great assest to have on here . He helped me out with the selection of my new battery charger a PM 1240iplus. There were many phone calls with lots of questions asked by each of us. Thank you for all of your help with my setup .

Dammit, Jim,
We keep spreading the word...and the look on Marcus Bailey's face when we told him we could get the ProSport 20+ for $40 less than the comparable Guest he was selling us...Priceless!

Promariner,

In reference to the PM12 Gen 2 charger I installed...My configuration is (2) dual purpose deep cycle group 24 batts, isolated with a 1/2/Both/Off switch so I never run both batts simultaneously. The manual and charger identify (1) set of leads as being the starting battery. Is there any charger output difference between the (2) sets of leads like hookup experienced with his house batt? Both batteries are used independently at different times.

BTW, great product!

The lead labeled Engine Start should go to the engine starting battery if there is one used in the installation as it is the last lead to be sensed. That said, we recommend that the charger be wired directly to the batteries so that the charger can accurately sense. If you use the switch to break the connection the charger will have a difficult time sensing. Also note we like all the leads to be connected to a battery even if only one was being used. If we take a two bank charger and connect only one lead the charger usually will not operated as we are limiting its ability to sense the battery. This is really more for safety and providing a full recovery of the batteries. Hope this makes sense but if not I would be happy to clarify.

Thanks for the response, this does make sense and the leads are connected directly to the batteries. Sounds like it makes no difference since I alternate which battery is used for everything each time I put the boat in.

At the end of each trip only one battery is partially discharged and one is still full from the last charging...........plug in the charger a couple nights before the next trip and no battery issues whatsoever.

Love it when a plan comes together...

My 272 has 4 batteries.
When my Guest died I found the 4 bank Genius 4 after much searching.
Potted, compact, relatively light.
My boat is in the water so the charger stays on all the time.
Been installed since February.
