TecMate TM-181 OptiMate 6 5Amp Weatherproof Desulfating Charger/Maintainer

OptiMate 6 ampmatic is advanced and versatile battery charger, maintainer and tester. An all in one unit, which is stylish and robust in a weatherproof enclosure that includes wall mounts and cables rated down to -40 F/C, specifically for users in the water and snow markets. Each time you connect the OptiMate 6 to a battery the microprocessor automatically diagnoses the condition and automatically chooses the best charge current and program. OptiMate 6 is able to correctly initialize and charge new sealed batteries where the user is adding the acid pack to the battery. This enhanced multi-stage version of the acclaimed OptiMate desulfation program will automatically save many 'dead' batteries. It keeps your battery maintained, fully charged and safe, month after month, prolonging it's life by up to 400 per cent. The safe, optimal maintenance of your battery during long term storage, achieved by its gentle maintenance cycle which automatically allows the battery to rest for 30 minutes of each hour of the maintenance cycle while it remains connected. OptiMate 6 will only activate if the battery voltage measures at least 1.8V. The ampmatic processor checks the battery's condition to determine the appropriate charge program. If necessary, 2 or 3 stages of high voltage and oscillatory pulsing are applied to recover neglected, flat batteries. The voltage is limited to 16 volt. The ampmatic processor actively adjusts charge current to match battery characteristics, achieving a complete charge in the shortest time. Charge acceptance is continuously monitored to detect internal damage and prevent unnecessary charging of a battery that cannot be recovered. The voltage is limited at 13.6 volt while the ampmatic processor monitors the current absorbed by the battery. 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.
