  • Automatic self-diagnostic test: Immediately on connection, the microprocessor checks the circuit and flashes all LEDs (except charge current LEDs) to confirm correct operation.
  • Dual-stage recovery action: If the diagnostic check determines that the battery is sulphated (deep-discharged), the first stage attempts to drive in an initial current by applying up to 16V for a brief limited period. If this is unsuccessful, the TURBO recovery stage engages (indicated by a flashing recovery LED), which increases the applied voltage to up to 22V. This action is limited to a maximum two hours.
  • Charge current display: A thermometer style central LED column shows delivered current. This, together with the expanded charge programme status LED information provides the user with detailed insight regarding the progress of both the state of charge and the state of health of the battery.
  • High efficiency: Despite delivering 33% more power than OptiMate 3sp, OptiMate 4 consumes less electricity, which is welcome in these days of high energy costs and eco-awareness.
  • Enhanced battery testing: Green, yellow and red "traffic-light" LEDs indicate alone or in combinations to provide 5 possible results of the end-of-programme test for power drain, whether in the battery or due to a problem in the bike's electrical system.

Product Description

· Diagnosis of deep-discharge or light sulphation; automatic recovery phase with precisely controlled parameters to recover many neglected batteries, even from as low as 2 Volts. In really difficult cases the interactive programme gives the battery a "Turbo Recovery" charge. · Multi-stage automatic charging programme monitors and controls both voltage and current while charging the battery to ensure optimum charge for the battery, without any risk of over-charging. OptiMate 4 is totally safe even for long-term connection. · Automatic double-check ensures that the battery is fully charged before switching over to maintenance (float charge) mode. If the check indicates that the monitored signals suggesting full charge were premature, the charger reverts to the main charging stage and continues this procedure until the battery is definitely fully charged. · Hourly checks (in maintenance mode) for any signs that the battery is not able to hold its charge, or that it is being drained by something connected to it. If all is well, the green LED indicates after the first of these hourly checks. With OptiMate 4, five test results can be indicated and are continually updated. This avoids the situation where a one-off power drain (e.g. alarm) causes a red LED indication indefinitely. In this way, OptiMate 4 continues to test & maintain your battery indefinitely, displaying a real-time battery condition test result. Should a power drain or defective battery be detected, the red LED will indicate a "suspect" condition but the charging circuit will continue to support the battery until disconnected. · Automatic cancellation of charging programme when mains power fails. On restoration of mains power the battery is automatically re-assessed and the charging programme appropriate to the battery status is immediately restarted. · Now includes IP64 protection against water ingress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product 3 Jun 2009
At first sight looks complicated to use, with lots of flashing coloured lights. But is fully automatic. There's nothing to set or do, just plug in. Chunky, well-made product, supplied with numerous cables and connection options. The complicated instructions/notes just describe the routine that the charger is going through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the box 10 Mar 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
Optimate is one of those rare products that actually does live up to the hype. It genuinely is simple to use, it really does work and so far it has proved utterly reliable. The directions are clear though the truly hard of thinking might find the explanation of what everything means a little baffling. But even if you don't read any of the instructions and just hook it up (it's obvious how) and start using it, the Optimate soon make sit pretty obvious whether all is well or not.

Seriously, there are other competing products out there and some of them are cheaper. Put them next to each other and you'll see why - Optimate oozes quality and I'm confident I can leave it bouncing round my garage for the next ten years or so and it'll still be working as well as it is now...

Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rescue 19 Mar 2009
I had previously heard excellent reviews for this product and when my bike battery went flat after sitting during the winter, it quickly rescued me from immobility. The supplied plug-in battery leads enable the charger to be quickly connected, ensuring that the battery is always in tip-top condition.

Highly recommended - apparently motorbike dealers call Feb/March "the Optimate season".
