Battery and charging
- Mains input it accepts
- Universal input, 90–264 V at 45–65 Hz
- Mains current it draws
- Draws up to 7 A from the mains
- Recharge time the maker states
- Two and a half hours on their own packs
- Detecting the battery
- Detects the battery in five seconds or less, then starts
- Starting on a flat battery
- Reduces current on a deeply discharged pack, then resumes

“It features a soft start mode in which the charger will reduce current flow if the battery is at a very low state of charge. Once the battery voltage has risen, normal fast charging will resume.”

Buying and owning it
- What its lights mean
- One LED: blue charging, green done, red for reverse polarity or a short
“The single LED show the simple status of the charger. This status LED is blue while charging. It will change to green when charging is complete and the charger has stopped. This LED will turn red if the charger is connected in reverse polarity or short circuited.”

Compatible batteries
Lithium Pros' own charger and Lithium Pros' own pack. Their page for this charger says it is "purpose built for Lithium Pros 36V Lithium Ion Marine batteries", and this pack is one of their 36 volt batteries — Lithium Pros rate it at 38.4 volts, which is the same string of cells as their "36V" and both their names for it. They name a voltage and a family rather than a model, so this row is exactly as specific as they were: it places the pack inside the description the charger gives, and does not say the two were tested together. This page goes further on this family than the other three do: it opens "This is the standard Shore Charger for the 36V M-series marine batteries", and this is an M-series pack. The charger may not go in the boat. Lithium Pros state it "is make for dry location/shore use and does not mount in the boat" — their wording — so this pairing works at the dock and not underway. It connects with alligator clips rather than being wired in. Lithium Pros put the recharge time at two and a half hours on their own 36 volt marine packs, and qualify it themselves: actual time varies by application and by how much energy was used. Charging and discharging are different questions: this is 18 amps going in, and Lithium Pros publish no discharge current for any of their packs, so nothing here says what the pack delivers.
