There are no switches. Affordable, compact, intelligent and forgiving of errors, OptiMate Lithium 0.8A is the perfect tool for regular or long-term maintenance of 12V Lithium batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.       \u003cstrong\u003ePre-qualification \/ BMS reset: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe charge program is selected according to battery voltage. For batteries with internal BMS (battery management system) that includes a low voltage cut-out; OptiMate Lithium has a BMS reset program to reconnect the internal cells with the battery posts so that charging can commence.\u003cbr\u003e2.       \u003cstrong\u003eLow Volts recovery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The OptiMate SAVE mode controls charging during this sensitive battery SAVE stage, to ensure that an over discharged battery will be correctly and safely recovered. Tests are conducted through-out the SAVE program to determine if the battery has successfully recovered and can advance to BULK CHARGE.\u003cbr\u003e3.       \u003cstrong\u003eBulk charge stage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Charges at 0.8 Amps constant current until the Voltage has risen to 14.3V.\u003cbr\u003e4.       \u003cstrong\u003eShort-circuited \/ dead cell check:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charge progress is tracked against the ideal LiFePO4 charge curve, internal damage will be detected and unnecessary charging is prevented of a battery that cannot be recovered.\u003cbr\u003e5.       \u003cb\u003eAbsorption and equalisation:\u003c\/b\u003e for up to 4 hours the current is delivered in pulses with voltage controlled between 14.0 and 14.3V, aiding cell voltage equalisation and improving the battery’s overall power delivery.\u003cbr\u003e6.       \u003cstrong\u003eVoltage retention test:\u003c\/strong\u003e is conducted for up to 12 hours during which no charge current is delivered, with 3 possible test results indicating the battery’s general state of health or excessive self discharge or higher than expected power loss through the vehicle’s electrical system.\u003cbr\u003e7.       \u003cstrong\u003eCharge maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The MAINTENANCE CHARGE CYCLE consists of 30-minute float charge periods at a voltage of 13.6V followed by and alternating with 30-minute ‘rest’ periods. During the float charge period current is delivered only if the battery has lost charge due to connected vehicle circuitry. A refresh cycle may be performed if the charge level has dropped significantly.\u003cbr\u003e8.       The alternating charge and ‘rest’ maintenance program protects the battery against over discharge by connected vehicle circuitry, making it ideal for indefinite and 100% safe long-term maintenance charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for: \u003c\/strong\u003eLiFePO4 12V batteries from 3Ah to 50Ah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProgramme control: \u003c\/strong\u003eMicroprocessor, 7 stages, fully automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Voltage: \u003c\/strong\u003e100-240V50-60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput current max: \u003c\/strong\u003e0.23A @ 100V; 0.15A @ 230V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical annual energy cost: \u003c\/strong\u003eLess than £1.00 per year (continuous maintenance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse drain current:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 1mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput current (bulk charge): \u003c\/strong\u003e0.8A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic desulphation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge time limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Safe to leave connected for months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintain \/ test cycles: \u003c\/strong\u003e30 min\/30 min (alternating hourly)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge retention test:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 possible results – ‘good’ \u0026amp; ‘bad’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e167 x 65 x 46mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 800g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy direct wall mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput cable length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput cable length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e O1 Weatherproof Eyelet Lead; O4 Clamp Lead for bench charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation temperature range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20°C \/ +40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty: \u003c\/strong\u003e3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivered with two interchangeable connection sets, one with clamps for bench charging, and the other with in-line protection fuse and eyelet terminals for permanent attachment to in-vehicle battery to allow easy re-connection of charger when necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional accessories include additional fused permanent connection leads (O1); cigarette lighter plug lead (O2) to charge via the cigarette lighter or DIN socket (as found on some BMW, Honda\u0026amp; Triumph touring motorcycles); 1.8m and 4.6m extension leads; weatherproof sockets to provide a convenient 12V supply for sat-nav, MP3 player, mobile phone charger PDA etc. and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertifications: TUV\/GS conformity. 3-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53214495080779,"sku":"OPTIMATE L","price":72.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/1807\/3931\/files\/Optimate-Lith.jpg?v=1755692204","url":"https:\/\/www.mototechniks.com\/products\/optimate-lithium-charger","provider":"Mototechniks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
