If the result after the initial 30 minute voltage retention test is anything other than green LED #7, the LED(s) ﬂ ashing at that

moment will now remain on, indicating the result is locked and testing has been concluded and a MAINTENANCE CHARGING

cycle has started.

EXTENDED VOLTAGE RETENTION TEST: If only the GREEN LED #7 is ﬂ ashing at the end of the initial 30 minute voltage

retention test, the test will be extended, indicated by the LED ﬂ ashing mode changing from single pulse

(- - - -) to double pulse (-- -- --). The extended voltage retention test checks for excessive self discharge (caused by the battery

itself, even a partly damaged battery may initially retain sufﬁ cient power, but lose power faster than normal there-after) or

higher than expected power loss through the vehicle’s electrical system.

The extend test will end after 11 ½ hours, or the moment the battery voltage falls below 12,4V (YELLOW LED #8).

At the end of the extended voltage retention test the LED(s) ﬂ ashing at that moment will now remain steady on, indicating the

result is locked and testing has been concluded and a MAINTENANCE CHARGING cycle has started.

Notes on test results

NOTE 1: FOR ANY TEST RESULT OTHER THAN GREEN #7, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FROM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IT

SUPPORTS, and RECONNECT THE OPTIMATE. IF A BETTER TEST RESULT IS NOW OBTAINED, THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE POWER

LOSSES ARE PARTLY DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND NOT IN THE BATTERY ITSELF.

NOTE 2:

For a good battery remaining in circuit with the vehicle’s electrical system, if the decline in voltage resulted from a

current drain out of the battery which was only of a temporary nature, the LED indication can revert to a better level, ideally

green.

NOTE 3:

If the red LED #9 alone, or the yellow #8 and red LED #9 together start to ﬂ ash during a 30 minute test (or steadily

during a maintenance charging period), a signiﬁ cant problem exists. The red / yellow+red LEDs (or yellow LED alone for a

sealed battery) mean that after being charged the battery’s voltage is not being sustained or that despite recovery attempts the

battery was irrecoverable. This may be due to a defect in the battery itself, such as a short-circuited cell or total sulphation, or,

in the case of a battery still connected to the electrical system it supports, the red LED #9 may be signalling a loss of current

through deteriorated wiring or a degraded switch or contact, or in-circuit current-consuming accessories. A sudden load such

as vehicle headlights being switched on while the charger is connected can also cause the battery voltage to dip signiﬁ cantly.

Always remove the battery from the electrical system it supports, reconnect the OptiMate and allow it to proceed through its

programme once more. If the poor result persists, you are advised to take the battery to a professional service workshop

equipped with professional equipment for a more thorough investigation.

Final note on the voltage retention test

This test is a strongly indicative but not necessarily a conclusive test of battery condition, which for starter batteries can be

more precisely established by using a TestMate™mini which tests 12V batteries on the vehicle during cranking, as well as the

charging system operation or a TestMate SPORT which tests all 12V batteries speciﬁ cally used in the power sport sector that

includes motorcycle, ATV, personal water craft, or a TestMate AUTOMOBILE designed to test 12V batteries used in marine and

automobile applications.

MAINTENANCE CHARGE: The MAINTENANCE CHARGE CYCLE consists of 30 minute ﬂ oat charge periods followed by and

alternating with a 30 minute ‘rest’ periods, during which there is no charge current. This “50% duty cycle” prevents loss of

electrolyte in sealed batteries and minimizes gradual loss of water from the electrolyte in batteries with ﬁ ller caps, and thereby

contributes signiﬁ cantly to optimizing the service life of irregularly or seasonally used batteries. The circuit offers current to the

battery within a safe 13,6V voltage limit (“ﬂ oat charge”), allowing it to draw whatever small current is necessary to sustain it at

(or close to) full charge and compensate for any small electrical loads imposed by vehicle accessories or on-board computer, or

the natural gradual self-discharge of the battery itself. During the maintenance charge cycle the original locked TEST result will

continue to be displayed unless the result worsens (unexpected condition in the vehicle or battery), until the TEST and

MAINTENANCE cycle is repeated.

REPEAT OF TEST and MAINTENANCE CYCLES: The voltage retention test cycle, followed by the maintenance charge

cycle, will repeat 24 hours after the start of the very ﬁ rst test and continue to repeat for as long as the charger remains

connected.

NOTE: OptiMate PRO-S

NEW selection: Testing is not repeated, the MAINTENANCE CHARGE CYCLE continues
