TECMATE is claiming that its new OptiMate 5 Voltmatic is the first ever charger capable of automatically recovering 6V lead-acid batteries from deep discharge. The charger will also charge and maintain medium to large 12V batteries [from 8Ah to 120Ah].
The OptiMate 5 VoltMatic retains the fully automatic, and easy-to-use characteristics of other OptiMates, while being capable of recovering batteries retaining as little as one-volt.The OptiMate 5 identifies whether a battery is 6V or 12V and then runs a series of tests to see whether it requires desulphation or bulk charge. It then delivers charge in controlled pulses that equalise the voltage in each of the battery cells and checks that charge is being retained, before indicating that the battery has reached full charge.
OptiMate runs a 30-minute charge/30-minute rest cycle, during every hour of long-term maintenance charge, so it can be left connected to the battery while the vehicle is parked without any risk of overcharging or overheating.
Compatible with STD lead-acid batteries (with removable filler caps), sealed AGM ‘maintenance free’, GEL and spiral cell types, the OptiMate 5 is supplied with both a permanent ringlet connection lead that has a weatherproof cap and battery crocodile clips for bench charging.
