Description:

OptiMate 3 desulfater-charger saves neglected, deep discharged batteries other smart chargers can't. It will safely maintain your vehicle's battery during long term storage. 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 22 volt 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 and check) stage provides low voltage desulfating care and tops off the charge. OptiMate 3+ then tests and confirms if the battery can retain sufficient charge to crank an engine before it engages long term maintenance mode. During maintenance it "floats and tests" 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so the battery is always 100 per cent ready, but never overcharged. Recommended for all 12 volt lead-acid batteries from 2Ah to 30Ah, although it can also maintain larger batteries (it will just take longer to charge). The OptiMate's high voltage desulfation mode cannot engage if vehicle electronics / wiring are sensed, so to effectively desulfate a battery, it must be disconnected from the vehicle wiring. Includes 2 connection accessories : SAE-71 Weatherproof permanent ringlet connector and SAE-74 set of battery clips. Approved to UL and CSA safety standards for battery chargers.

Features:
  • 24/7 automatic storage control

  • Effective battery test and maintenance

  • Proven reliability and ease of use

  • Optimizes battery power and life

5Best yet!  Sep 26, 2010
By JMD
Having used Battery Tenders for years I was feeling that they weren't doing their job any more
when a 2 year old battery would not start the bike after being charged/tended. The light
on the Tender said it was fully charged but it wasn't. Having read a review on some of the
new charges decided on the Optimate 3+ Motorcycle Battery Charger. So far it fixed two batteries
that were in bikes and recovered two older ones that were waiting for a trip to the recycling center.
It's the best I have yet to use!

4Revived a 2year old mtoorcycle battery  May 24, 2011
By M Edward Thoza
I had a 2 year old motorcycle battery sitting on a shelf waiting to be recycled when I purchased this. I threw it on there for a day and came back to a fully charged battery.

5Must have if you don't ride everyday.  Sep 30, 2011
By Drake Johnson
Great charger / maintainer!!! I have gone through two top quality motorcycle batteries in the last few years. My local Yamaha shop suggested this product to keep my battery always charged up. The charger maintains the battery at full charge without the risk of overcharging it. From what I understand now, letting the battery sit for weeks/months to the point of dyeing is extremely hard on them.

The light indicators on this are very handy. These lights will let you know when the system is idle, trickle charging, deep charging, and trying to recover a really messed up battery when possible.

5Amazing Charger  Aug 26, 2011
By Brownsfan 24
Let me start by saying this is the exact same product as the Honda Optimate 3+ charger that sells for $75 at the dealership. The charger is completely automatic and lets you know what its doing and the state of the battery at all times. I recently had to make a 100 mile trip back to the dealership with what appared to be electrical system problem. The battery tested fine and indicated it was fully charged and would hold a charge with my other motorcycle battery charger. Drove over 2.5 hours to find out the battery had a shorted cell. This will never be a problem again with this charger. Total diagnostic and testing program will bring old sulphated batteries back to life. Easy to follow instructions and comes with clamp and screw on connectors.

3Works great... but not on a fully discharged battery!  Aug 19, 2011
By Jeff H
I bought this charger for my motorcycle. Well low and behold I parked the bike in my garage and left the key on. I go out to start the bike the next morning and the battery is dead. No problems I think, I hook up the charger and drove my car into work that day. I come home and check on the battery and find its still completely dead. I started to wonder if I had a faulty charger because the lights weren't lighting up to indicate the charger was charging. I hooked the charger up to my car battery and viola, all the indicators light up. I ended up having to give the battery a charge with an old fashioned "dumb charger" that I had to borrow from a friend to get some life back into it before my brand new "smart" charger would work. I wasn't too pleased with that experience which is why I rated it 3/5 stars.
