USING THE OPTIMATE PRO-8: PROCEEDING TO CHARGE

For safety reasons, the OptiMate output will only activate if a battery retaining at least 2V (or 1.2V for a 6V battery) is

connected, whereupon the circuit instantly diagnoses the battery condition and engages the appropriate charge mode and

lights the corresponding charge status LED.

The charger’s special recovery mode cannot engage if it senses that the battery is still connected to a vehicle wiring

circuit which effectively offers a lower electrical resistance than the battery on its own. However, if the deep-discharged

battery is not removed for recovery, neither battery nor vehicle electronics will be damaged.

VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES: Pay particularly close attention to the following which is especially important

for relatively small batteries such as those used on motorcycles, lawn tractors, jet-ski’s, snowmobiles and similar: A

battery left deep-discharged for an extended period may develop permanent damage in one or more cells. Such batteries may

heat up excessively during high current charging.

Monitor the battery temperature during the ﬁ rst hour, then hourly there-after. Check for unusual signs, such as bubbling or

leaking electrolyte, heightened activity in one cell compared to others, or hissing sounds. If at any time the battery is

uncomfortably hot to touch or you notice any unusual signs, DISCONNECT THE CHARGER IMMEDIATELY.

SELECTING CHARGE VOLTAGE: To select charge voltage toggle the switch towards the 6V or 12V position.

IMPORTANT: Each 6V / 12V switch controls 2 charging circuits positioned to the left and right of the switch.

The LED indicators referred to below, and the clauses dealing with them, are sequenced as they may come on through

the course of the program.

Voltage for 6V batteries are indicated in brackets following the 12V battery voltage.

LED #1

1. LED #1 - When not charging LED #1 indicates the colour green to conﬁ rm AC power supply to the charger circuit.

Circuit activation and recovery of deep-discharged, neglected batteries

1.1 ACTIVATION - If the battery voltage is above 2V (1,2V), LED #1 brieﬂ y changes colour to red to conﬁ rm circuit activation.

For batteries with a good state of health LED #1 goes out immediately and charge LED #2 comes on.

1.2 RECOVERY - For neglected batteries in poor state of health, LED #1 remains on (red) and indicates steadily. The charge

voltage is limited at a maximum 22V (11V) while the circuit attempts to deliver a current of 200mA into the battery. If

step 1 has not concluded after 2 hours, step 2 engages automatically.

2. Charge and charge veriﬁ cation

2.1 CHARGE: The BULK CHARGE stage (steady LED #2) delivers a constant current of 1Amp maximum into the battery, up

to a voltage of 14,2 -14,5V

(7,1 - 7,25V).

2.2 VERIFICATION: LED #2 ﬂ ashes while the circuit veriﬁ es battery charge level.

If the battery requires further charging the programme reverts to CHARGE for brief periods, delivering a variable current

pulse to the battery. These reversions may occur as many times as is necessary to reduce the battery’s current

demand below 200mA at 13,6V (6,8V) (which is consistent with a battery that has accepted as much charge as its

basic condition allows).

When LED #2 has ﬂ ashed continuously for 30 minutes, step 3 engages and a voltage retention test starts.

3. 4. Voltage retention tests alternating half-hourly with battery maintenance

Flashing LED #3 or 4 - Voltage retention test

For a good battery LED #4 ﬂ ashes throughout the 30 minute test. NO CHARGE CURRENT.

If the battery voltage falls below 12,4V (6,2V) during the test LED #3 (red) willcome on and indicate steadily.

The red LED means 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 vehicle’s wiring system, the red LED #

3 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 the 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 vehicle, reconnect the OptiMate

™

and allow

it to proceed through its programme once more.

Steady on LED #3 or 4 - Automatic battery maintenance

Maintenance - ﬂ oat charge at a safe voltage limit of 13,6V (6,8V) and up to 1A is available to counter self-discharge

Whichever LED (#4 ﬂ ashing or #3 steady) was indicating at the end of the TEST now indicates steadily. The battery can

draw current as required to support small loads and counter self-discharge. Maintenance and voltage retention test

periods continue alternating half-hourly until the battery is disconnected. The test result is updated during each

subsequent test.
