Product catalog summary

Overview
The OptiMate 2 is a fully automatic battery maintainer designed to extend the life and improve the performance of 12V batteries in vehicles, watercraft, or systems not in daily use. It ensures safe long-term maintenance, even in freezing temperatures, by using the included SAE-71 accessory for easy connection.

Key Features

Automatically senses battery condition, recharges, and maintains the battery at 100% readiness without overcharging.
Provides power to anti-theft alarms, displays, and onboard computers.
Interactive standby mode reverts to full charge if high current drain is detected.
Weatherproof and sealed enclosure for durability.

How It Works

Safety Check: Activates only when connected to a battery with at least 2V.
Bulk Charge: Delivers a constant current of 0.8A to bring the battery to 14.3V.
Charge Verification: Assesses the battery's ability to hold a charge. If the battery is healthy, it maintains a voltage of 13.6V for 30 minutes.
Maintenance Charge & Rest Cycle: Alternates between 30-minute float charge and rest periods to prevent electrolyte loss and optimize battery life.
Interactive Standby: Returns to bulk charge mode if a load causes a sudden voltage drop.

Technical Specifications

Suitable for AGM/MF, Standard, GEL, and spiral cell batteries.
Maintains batteries from 3Ah to 96Ah capacity.
Global input voltage range: 100-240V, 50-60Hz.
Output current: 0.8A during bulk charge.
Enclosure classification: IP54.
Operating temperature range: -20°C to +40°C.
Warranty: 3 years.

How it works 1. Safety check: OptiMate 2 must be connected to a battery (retaining minimum 2V) to activate its output. 2. Bulk charge: a constant current of 0,8A efficiently brings the battery up to 14,3V. 3. Charge verification: immediately follows bulk charge mode during which the battery's ability to accept a charge and there-after it's charged status is verified. A battery in poor health unable to hold a charge is indicated by the yellow charge LED alternating with the the green maintain LED every 3 seconds. For a battery that appears healthy the voltage is limited at 13,6V for 30 minutes...
