Troubleshooting an electrical fault , uploading a new ignition map or setting up the electronic suspension , ride modes and personal rider settings all require power from the battery as the ignition key has to be in ON position - which means all the vehicle systems are powered up . During service or repair , if the vehicle is ' plugged into ' an electronic diagnostic tool , the battery must remain above a set voltage ( typically 12.5V ), otherwise a ' low battery error ' will interrupt the tool ' s operation . TecMate has introduced fixed voltage battery support in its advanced battery chargers that
delivers a stable 13.6V supply to the battery and the vehicle ' s electrical system - preventing drain from the connected diagnostic tool and / or the vehicle ' s electrical system whilst the rider or dealer troubleshoots , updates or customizes settings . OptiMate 6 Select and OptiMate 7 Select come with a power supply ( PS ) mode that can be selected at any time prior or during the charge process , whereas the OptiMate Lithium 4s6A and 4s10A come with a TUNE mode adapted for lithium batteries that need special care when discharged . TUNE mode for lithium is only selectable if the LFP ( LiFePO4 ) battery under charge is at 75 % or higher - namely the battery needs to have been safely recharged before battery support can commence . The OptiMate PRO-1 DUO , able to save , charge and test all Pb ( lead-acid ) or LFP ( Lithium Ferrous Phosphate ) powersport batteries , has a smart Supply mode adapted for shop use , with safety features to protect the vehicle ' s battery and electronics . Martin Human , CEO of TecMate , told AMD : " In our fast evolving industry , one that now includes full electric vehicles ( yet still with a 12V auxiliary battery to power all low voltage systems ), a problem common to both is the inability of the 12V battery to deliver stable power during troubleshooting , updating or mode customizing . " Our latest OptiMate battery chargers have the solution - you can literally go TUNE as long as you like and then switch back over to battery charge and maintain mode once you ' re done ."
