Product description
Optimate battery chargers have been developed since 1994 by Tecmate, which develops various maintenance and testing equipment for workshops. The smart chargers are of high quality and fully developed. Optimate chargers are recommended by many motorcycle manufacturers.
Differences between chargers
There are different Optimate chargers available. The biggest difference is in the charging power. Additionally, the more expensive models have a more extensive testing and charging cycle. For motorcycles with a CanBus connection, the Optimate 4 Dual has been specially developed. This has two different charging programs, both for CanBus and normal. To use the charger on a CanBus connection, a separate cigarette lighter plug is required. This is available separately.
Advantages of Optimate chargers:
- Up to 400% longer battery lifespan
- Both test and maintenance cycle
- Special function for weakened batteries
- LED indication for information and test results
- Built-in safety system for safe charging
- Automatic switch from charging to trickle charging
- Weather-resistant housing
- Standard equipped with SAE connection (adapters available separately)
Operation of test and charging cycle
After connection, the Optimate tests the battery voltage and checks whether it can be charged according to a normal charging cycle. For very deeply or fully discharged batteries, you need an Optimate 3, 4, 5 or 6. If the battery is fully discharged, the charger (except Optimate 2) estimates whether it can be restored and starts the recovery program if possible. Depending on the condition of the battery, it charges with different current strengths until normal charging can begin. When the battery is fully charged, the Optimate tests the battery for current retention and ultimately switches the battery to trickle charging. The charger can remain connected to the battery indefinitely. So, you don't have to worry about it.
The specific features per charger can be found in the product specifications below. Various accessories, cables, and adapters are available separately.
