OptiMate USB-C and USB-A Combo
Some years ago , the OptiMate USB O-105 popularised a new direction in USB charger design with its ergonomic low profile ' elbow ' styling that has a USB-A charging port at 90 ° to the DIN / ISO 4165 12V connector used on BMW and Triumph motorcycles . The OptiMate USB O-115 is a popular alternative to the O-105 , with its ' 180 °' styling making it more
suitable for use on Ducati Multistrada or Triumph Tiger 800 / 850 / 900 motorcycles . There is also a Ducati O-115D branded version . Both these USB chargers feature 2 x USB-A charge ports that share up to 3300mA of power and they include the unique OptiMate USB interactive standby mode that prevents the vehicle ' s battery from being drained .
Martin Human , CEO / CTO of TecMate , says that these features have made both OptiMate USB O-105 and O-115 some of the most popular aftermarket USB chargers for BMW , Triumph and Ducati motorcycles . " However ," says Martin , " enter USB-C as the universal USB standard for Europe , and with many smartphones going towards USB-C , including Apple , TecMate has responded by releasing the OptiMate USB O-114 and the OptiMate USB O-119 , identical in design to the O-105 and O-115 , except for one charge port that is USB-C ." The USB-C socket delivers up to 3300mA of charge to a single connected USB-C device , unless the USB- A port is also in use , then power is shared with the second connected device . " All OptiMate USB chargers have a unique feature that protects the vehicle ' s battery that it is drawing power from - when the vehicle ' s engine is turned off , the OptiMate USB charger senses that and will turn off within one hour . " So , if a rider has stopped somewhere , but needs to charge their phone , or camera or Bluetooth- ready helmet , the OptiMate USB charger remains on for an hour before it goes to standby mode . That prevents even the smallest lithium battery from totally discharging , always leaving sufficient power to start up the vehicle to ride on ." Martin explains : " We ' re ready to meet the demand
