MORE BATTERY POWER

LONGER BATTERY LIFE

SAVE YOUR ‘DEAD’ BATTERY

REASONS WHY OPTIMATE IS BETTERTHAN OTHER BATTERY CHARGERS

1 TESTs battery condition at connection. Advanced models

also test after charging.

2 UNIQUE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Safe 24-7-365

maintenance keeps battery at 100% and support ‘always

on’ vehicle circuitry.

3 EQUALIZES BATTERY CELLS with unique pulsing

method within safe ‘no gassing’ zone, brings each cell to

full charge for stronger guaranteed battery performance.

4 SAVE ‘DEAD’ BATTERIES OTHER CHARGERS CAN’T from low volts, with restorative pulse charging. Ad-

vanced models include a ‘FIRST AID’ SAVE mode for

sulphated / deep discharged batteries.

BATTERY SIZE AND TYPE

2–30Ah Suitable battery types, with battery capacity range

in Amp-hour.

DIFFERENT TYPES EXPLAINED:

LEAD-ACID : Lead (arranged in plates) react with liquid electrolyte

(primarily sulphuric acid - H2SO4) to generate electricity.

STD batteries, also known as ‘wet cell’ or ‘fl ooded’ batteries,

most with removable fi ller caps to add distilled water. The

liquid electrolyte is a combination of sulphuric acid and pure water.

Charged = 12.5 to 12.6V.

An advanced STD ‘wet cell’ battery optimized for frequent

engine start applications in cars with ‘ECO’ START / STOP

technology. Charged = 12.6 to 12.8V.

A sealed / VRLA* battery with electrolyte a combination of acid

and liquid gel that inhibits natural condensation. GEL batteries

are popular in stand-by / low current applications.

Charged = 12.6 to 12.8V.

(Absorbed glass mat of VRLA* construction): High concentrate

sulphuric acid electrolyte is suspended in fi ber glass mats

positioned between the lead plates, allowing for a more compact battery

design. AGM is dominant in power sport and a popular premium battery

option in automotive and marine. Dry charged are only found in

powersport, and is delivered with an acid pack. Factory activated AGM

receive acid and sealed at source. Charged = 12.7 to 12.9V.

* VRLA - Sealed batteries (also known as VRLA = valve regulating

lead acid) have a pressure release valve that will permanently release

electrolyte gas when overcharged.

Lithium Iron (Ferro) Phosphate battery made up of 4 series

connected cells, used in SLI and deep cycle applications.

LFP batteries deliver 3-4 times the cranking amps of a similar sized

lead-acid battery, with 90% depth of discharge compared to 50-75%

for lead-acid. Charged = 13.6 to 13.8V.

LFP batteries are sensitive to overcharge and deep discharge.

Gross overcharge may cause the battery to overheat and melt down.

A dedicated lead-acid charger could damage a lithium battery.

SPECIAL BATTERY / APPLICATION – Look for OptiMate battery

chargers marked to meet the following requirements :

Cars fi tted with fuel saving START/STOP technology, hybrid

petrol / electric cars with 12V engine start battery, vehicles,

craft or equipment with intermittent current draw.

DEEPCYCLE

STD, GEL, AGM or LFP battery designed to deliver constant

current for an extended period. The battery requires accurate

and complete recharge after every cycle of use.

Premium factory activated AGM batteries for automotive or

marine auto/marine, made by OptiMa, Odyssey and North Star,

that require a higher charge current and charge voltage up

to 14.7V.

FASTER RECHARGE – choose a charger that delivers current

matching the battery’s maximum requirement, for lead-acid it is

typically 1/10th the Amp-hour rating, or 1 x Ah rating for Lithium,

or determine your time requirement to recharge from fl at:

TIME to CHARGE - An OptiMate 1 (0.6A) needs 16-17 hours to

recharge a fl at 10Ah battery, but needs 100 hours for a 60Ah car

battery. Calculation: 10Ah/0.6A = 16.66h or 60Ah / 0.6A = 100 hours

An OptiMate 6 (5A) needs 12 hours to charge a 60Ah battery.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE – All OptiMate chargers are ideal for long

term battery maintenance, but chargers marked ECO, DEEP CYCLE,

(cyclic cell) and LFP have different maintenance programs specifi c to

the application or battery type. A fully charged battery requires no more

than 10-20mA to remain fully charged, but vehicle, craft or equipment

circuitry that are always active may draw more.

BATTERY SAVING / RESTORING – Deep discharge of a battery

below the recommended voltage can cause rapid sulfation in lead-acid

batteries and unbalanced cells in a lithium battery. OptiMate chargers

all have a unique low volt pulse SAVE step, with more advanced

OptiMate chargers able to recover batteries other chargers can’t.

1vLow Volt Save - the voltage from which the OptiMate is able

to save a deep discharged battery. (1v = from 1 Volt).

FIRST AID for STD, AGM & GEL lead-acid batteries –

OptiMate’s unique FIRST AID recovery mode for lead-acid is a

combination of low frequency current pulses that break down

crystallized lead-sulphate and controlled higher voltage to force current

fl ow, restoring the lead-acid battery so it can again receive and hold

charge.

FIRST AID FOR LITHIUM batteries - OptiMate Lithium’s unique

FIRST AID recovery for lithium is a combination of controlled low

current and voltage charge curve tracking that matches the

battery’s voltage against ideal charge curve for LiFePO4 cells.

BATTERY TESTING – All OptiMate test the battery at connection to

determine the correct charge mode. Advanced models perform a test

and display a result after charging. OptiMate 4, 6 and 7, Lithium 4s 5A,

Lithium Select perform a 10s test and display a result prior to charging.

GOOD / BAD test after charging.

Advanced 6 result test before and after charging.

UNIQUE OPTIMATE FEATURES: OptiMate Ampmatic models are ideal

multipurpose chargers for all sizes of battery. The charge current is

regulated according battery size and condition.

Charge voltage is automatically selected

according to the voltage of the connected battery.

Charge is regulated according to ambient temperature, from

20°C / 68°F, at -4mV/°C/cell.

To prevent battery damage the OptiMate Lithium charger

will shut off if temperature is below -20°C / 4°F or above 45°C / 113°F.

BMS Resets Battery Management System (with low voltage protection)

in a LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery.

rated for cold weather operation down to -40°C / -40°F.

All other chargers operate down to -20°C / -4°F.

The charger is weatherproof (min. IP54), rated for outside use.
