Sterling Power Charger

[TeamSpirit]

I have upgraded battery bank and need to improve my charger to accommodate the charging of three 115amp batteries, one dedicated starter and two for services.
The pro ultra 30a appears to fit the spec I require and importantly with a bit of adjustment fit in the space current occupied by the existing charger. Has anyone had any experience with this piice of kit, and perhaps have any recommendations or diagrams for wiring into system. or perhaps has any alternative suggestions for charging kit.
Thanks

Sterling products are generally respected, even if not everyone like Charles Sterling.

The Procharge Ultra chargers seem to have been given a "Premium Product Award" by Sailing Today.

The installation and operation instructions are on the website http://www.sterling-power.com/images/downloads/ProCharge U.pdf

I have the 24V version of your charger, installed around March 2011. I leave the thing on all the time without any worries e.g. 3 months when I was at work and couldn't get to the boat. My older batteries have a new life in them as result of the maintenance cycle that the unit goes through. So far, in cold Scotland, I have not heard the fan kick in at all when staying on board and wired up. Battery level (basic lead acid batteries) has remained quite constant but I did top up after about a month from installation but not since, and the level is still OK.

I would recommend the product based on my experience of Sterling ProUltra.

I have the 20A Procharge Ultra which I fitted at the beginning of last season. Dead easy to fit, looks neat and Star Trekie (lots of flashing lights..... which do actually give good info). I is supplying two banks, one engine battery at 80AH and three domestics at a total of 210AH. Basically it does what it says on the tin.
