OptiMate 4 “Dual Program” Charger / Optimiser
The ability to charge
via 12V sockets on CAN-bus equipped BMWs (using optional TM72 accessory plug
lead).
Low voltage PULSE
recovery for even more effective recovery of badly neglected, sulphated
batteries.
A user-friendly
initial battery condition test on connection to give an instant indication of
battery condition prior to charging.
An extended 3-year
warranty.
OptiMate 4 Dual
Program, the ultimate all-in-one tool for 12V battery care at home
Now with DUAL PROGRAM
that diagnoses, recovers, charges, tests and optimally maintains,
automatically.
Charge the battery
direct or select the program to charge via the12V port on your CAN-bus equipped
bike. With automatic KEY-LESS activation OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM will charge
and maintain your battery automatically until it is disconnected. OptiMate 4
DUAL PROGRAM includes Low voltage PULSE recovery for even more effective
recovery of badly neglected, sulphated batteries; a user friendly battery test
at connection; a slick weatherproof enclosure with built- in mounting lugs and
improved energy efficiency.
Extending battery
life by up to 400%
OptiMate 4 DUAL
PROGRAM will maintain your battery safe and ready- to-go for months on end.
Battery performance
guaranteed!
How it Works:
Switch between
STANDARD or CAN-BUS program with a simple 5 step procedure: connect clamps
together, connect to mains, and wait for the LED’s to confirm program change,
disconnect clamps. You can switch programs as many times as you want. LED
indication confirms the CAN- BUS program is active.
Safety check:
OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM will proceed to charge if the battery voltage can
maintain above 2V during the initial start-up diagnosis, even if the battery
was at 0,5V before connection.
Functionality:
OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM microprocessor checks the system for correct operation
(LEDs flash briefly to confirm).
Pre-qualification
test: OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM indicates the battery condition prior to
charging.
Desulphation and
recovery: STANDARD (up to 16V) engages automatically to recover neglected, flat
batteries from a sulphated to a chargeable state. For badly neglected batteries
TURBO stage (max 22V) engages if vehicle electronics is not detected / battery
is out of the vehicle. Turbo stage is disabled with CAN-bus program selection.
The safe low voltage PULSE recovery engages for the final 15 minutes.
Bulk charge: a
constant current of 0,8A is delivered until the voltage reaches 14.3V.
Absorption and
equalisation: Current is delivered in pulses to bring the battery to full
charge in the shortest possible time.
Charge verification
and short circuit / dead cell check: Charge acceptance is monitored, to detect
internal damage and prevent unnecessary charging of an unrecoverable battery
that cannot be recovered.
An undamaged battery
requiring further charging will revert to pulsed absorption.
Voltage retention
test: is conducted for 30 minutes during which no charge current is delivered,
with 5 possible test results indicating the battery's general state of health.
The pre- qualification test can be used to detect batteries that may hold a
charge initially, but lose charge overnight.
Charge maintenance: a
voltage of 13,6V is delivered for 30 minutes following each voltage retention
test, with charge current up to the maximum available to sustain it against
natural self-discharge or current drain from permanently active vehicle
components (LCD display, computer control) or connected accessories (alarm,
immobiliser). The voltage retention test and charge maintenance periods
continue alternating half-hourly until the battery is disconnected. The test
result is updated during each subsequent test.
CAN-bus program: the
KEY-LESS activation program guarantees automatic re-opening of the connection
even with the ignition not turned on. The alternating test and charge
maintenance program is designed to provide the recommend maintenance voltage
for AGM / GEL batteries whilst reducing the average voltage as required by STD
filler cap batteries, making it ideal for indefinite and 100% safe long term
maintenance charging of any type of 12V lead-acid battery.
