OptiMate 3 Battery Charger
OptiMate 3
Desulfater-Charger features:
As simple as 1-2-3.
Just connect the OptiMate to your battery and the
6 stage program does the rest automatically and safely.
Diagnoses & desulfates
batteries safely.
Suitable for all types of
12V lead-acid batteries.
Maintains your battery
automatically for months.
How it works:
Hook up the battery and OptiMate immediately checks if the
battery is sulfated or not.
If it is OptiMate applies ‘first aid’ in the form of a voltage
of up to 20V** at low current for up to 2 hours, to
recover the battery so it can again accept a charge.
It then ‘bulk’ (constant current) charges the battery, the
starting stage if no sulfation was detected.
There-after the unique ‘verification’ (pulsing charge &
check) stage provides low voltage desulfating care and tops off the charge.
OptiMate then tests & confirms whether the battery can
retain sufficient charge to crank an engine before it engages long term
maintenance mode.
During maintenance it “floats & tests” 30 minutes on, 30
minutes off, so the battery is always 100% ready, but never overcharged.
Note:
Battery needs to be disconnected from the vehicle for all
functions to work correctly.
 Charger lets you know if the battery is good or weak, and maybe in need of replacement soon. |
 Having the alligator clips allows you to hook up to a multitude of different batteries. |
 Convenient 2 point plug allows you to change between the alligator clips or the fused battery lug connector. |
 15 amp fused battery lug connector. This allows you a permanent connection point to any existing battery. |
My Impressions:
Pros:
Easy plug and charge operation.
Multiple step system monitors and maintains your battery constantly.
Capable of charging all types of batteries.
Cons:
None yet.
Bottom Line:
I highly recommend any Battery Charger. They will keep
your batteries charged and ready for service when you need them the most.
Note:
Using a battery charger will prolong your battery
life.
