סעטאַפּ און קאַנעקשאַן

The OptiMate 1 DUO offers flexible connection options for your battery.

Connecting to the Battery:

  1. Option 1: Fused Battery Harness (O-01 SAE)

    This option is ideal for long-term connection, allowing the charger to be easily plugged in and out without direct access to battery terminals. Connect the ring terminals of the harness directly to your battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative). Ensure the fuse is securely in place.

  2. Option 2: Battery Clips (O-04 SAE)

    For temporary connections, use the battery clips. Connect the red clip to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) battery terminal. Ensure a secure connection.

Charging Process (4 Steps):

The OptiMate 1 DUO employs a 4-step charging program:

  1. Step 1: Desulfation/Recovery - Recovers deeply discharged batteries (as low as 4 Volts).
  2. Step 2: Bulk Charge - Charges the battery to approximately 80% capacity.
  3. Step 3: Absorption Charge - Charges the battery to 100% capacity.
  4. Step 4: Maintenance Charge - Monitors the battery and delivers a float charge when needed to maintain optimal levels.
