Clore Automotive Pro-Logix PL2140 Battery Charger
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Just connect the unit, choose your battery voltage and type, and the maintainer does the rest!
SEALED CASE
Keeps dust and debris out of the maintainer for durability and long life.
SMART CLAMP TECHNOLOGY
Provides reverse polarity protection, eliminates sparking, and protects against many forms of operator error. The SOLAR PRO-LOGIX PL2140 automatic battery charger/maintainer utilizes an advanced multi-phase charging process to deliver an optimal charge to each battery serviced, regardless of battery size or type.
No guesswork or mystery—if it is a lead-acid battery installed in a vehicle, it can be charged and charged right with PRO-LOGIX. Two tools in one, the PL2140 functions as an advanced automatic battery charger to immediately bring depleted batteries to full charge, plus it functions as an advanced automatic battery maintainer, conditioning and maintaining batteries in long-term storage.
BENEFICIAL CHARGING / SUPERIOR LONG-TERM CHARGING
The multi-phase PRO-LOGIX charging process ensures optimal energy delivery to each battery charged. Its maintenance mode routine is less stressful than alternative approaches, ensuring that batteries on extended seasonal charge are kept fresh and ready for service. The PRO-LOGIX routine even exercises the battery to properly prepare it for the maintenance charge.
Recovery Mode
The PL2140 can be programmed to recover automatically from power outages, eliminating the need to reset the charger. It can also operate in Standard Mode, which would require resetting the charger after a power interruption. This puts you in control, allowing you to configure the charger exactly as you prefer.
Versatile Charging
With a convenient, quick-attach cord on the output side, the maintainer interfaces with several accessories equipped with a quick-attach connector, including battery clamps, ring terminals, and a 12V male adapter.
Charges Multiple Battery Types
Compatible with a wide variety of battery types, including Conventional, AGM, Gel Cell, Spiral Wound, Deep Cycle, and Marine batteries. If it is a 6 or 12 Volt lead-acid battery installed in a vehicle, boat, or implement, the PL2140 can charge and maintain it properly to ensure that it is ready when you need it next.
Battery Repair Mode
The PL2140 features Battery Repair and Soft Start modes, which automatically commence when needed to effectively manage sulfated or deeply discharged batteries. When attempting to charge a severely discharged battery, where the battery’s charge is too low for the charger to activate, the operator can force the charger to start charging, avoiding the “dead battery dilemma.

Clore Automotive Pro-Logix PL2140 Battery Charger-FAQs
Can I overcharge a battery using the PL2140?
No. The Pro-Logix PL2140 automatically switches to maintenance mode once the battery is fully charged, preventing overcharging and damage.
Should I disconnect the battery while charging?
It’s generally recommended to disconnect the battery from the vehicle when charging for safety, though the PL2140 is designed to be safe for both connected and disconnected charging.
Is it safe to leave the battery charging overnight?
Yes. The PL2140 has built-in protection that stops active charging once the battery is full and maintains it safely without overcharging.
How do I know if my charger is working properly?
When connected, the charger’s display or lights will show charging activity. If there’s no light or change after connection, check power, cable connections, and fuse integrity.
What voltage should the charger show when the battery is full?
At full charge, the output voltage will typically read around 13.2V–13.6V in float or maintenance mode.
Can I leave my battery connected after it reaches 100%?
Yes. The PL2140 automatically switches to float mode, maintaining full charge safely without damaging the battery.
Is it better to charge to 80% or 100%?
For long-term battery health, charging up to 80–90% is ideal for daily use. Full 100% charges are fine occasionally, especially before long trips or storage.
How many volts should a fully charged battery have?
A healthy, fully charged 12V battery typically reads around 12.6V to 12.8V when checked with a voltmeter.
What are the basic rules for safe battery charging?
Use the correct charger, connect clamps properly, avoid deep discharges, charge in a ventilated area, and never leave the battery connected indefinitely unless the charger has an automatic shut-off or maintenance mode (like the PL2140).
