Battery Charger Optimate 3 (TecMate) - Charge Maintainer

OptiMate 3 maintainer, battery charger and optimizer for 12V batteries for motorcycles and other vehicles with capacity batteries from 2 to 50 Ah (all batteries type excluded lithium). The charger Optimate 3 is the evolution of the famous Optimate 3+ and Optimate III SP and is the only charger-maintainer recommended by many as 8 motorcycle manufacturers.
 
OptiMate 3 connects to the home network 220/240V and battery, all other functions are performed automatically. Unlike its competitors, the OptiMate 3 is able to save batteries very neglected and more verification that the batteries are charged for their initial state permits, and then checks that there are no defective cells. Finally, OptiMate 3 keeps your battery safely in case of long storage, thanks to its maintenance cycle sweet - 30 minutes of rest for every hour of connection. Here is a brief description of the program automatic multiple stages dell'OptiMate, you start upon connection to a 12V battery that has a voltage of at least 2V:

The OptiMate immediately checks if the battery has sufficient voltage to start the program, and if either sulfur or less.
If sulfidation, the OptiMate applies his intervention "ER" in the form of a voltage of 20V ** maximum, with a low current for a maximum of two hours, to cause the battery to accept a charge so "normal".
Once the circuit detects that this state has been reached (in effect at the time of the connection the same for most of the batteries), it goes off the main charging releasing a constant current, even if the battery is more 'reticent' of normal to accept the office - due to the fact that the situation was "forgotten" for a time.
When the parameters of the battery indicates that the progress of charge is sufficient, part of the verification phase (exclusivity). The voltage is limited to a lower level and, if necessary, a voltage pulsing action eliminates additional sulfidation and complete charging. Without this check, you move to the next stage.
The OptiMate stops at this stage its current output for 30 minutes and monitors the battery voltage, not fed in this time frame. This allows you to check if the battery feels enough charge to be able to start an engine. At this point the maintenance mode is activated.
During the 30 'following the OptiMate send a support charge, but only enough to offset a loss or consumption imposed by a connected accessory, such as an alarm or immobilizer.
Any heating and / or overheating of the battery is to be excluded, due to the maintenance cycle "50%" - fluctuating voltages and test 30 'followed by 30' pause. In this way, the battery is always ready to 100% but never overloaded.
** The way desulfurization high voltage can only be started if the battery has been disconnected from the electrical panel before the veicolo.Per this and other technical reasons, the OptiMate can not damage any electronic item.
The hypotheses of possible risks, evoked in certain sites 'chat' or certain forum, are unfounded. However, it may well serve for larger batteries, they will just take a charging time longer. Compliant with all relevant IEC and EN standards and EC directives. Included in the package multilanguage instructions, cable clamps (SAE-74) and cable eyelet (SAE-71).
