Battery Support on the Showroom / Expo Floor
TecMate ' s OptiMate 6 Select and OptiMate 7 Select come with a power supply ( PS ) mode that provides stable support power to the battery . This mode is preselectable prior to battery connection or can be selected whilst charging a battery . Originally meant to support the battery during troubleshooting or setting up of a motorcycle by the vehicle owner ( e . g . electronic suspension , Bluetooth connectivity , sound system and the like ). However , this power supply feature has also gained popularity in showrooms where new electronic / electrical features are demonstrated by dealers and at exhibitions where manufacturers demonstrate their electronic aftermarket products on a non-running motorcycle , such as LED lighting , a diagnostic tool or sound equipment . It is also a boon for use when displaying a bike at a local show , expo , bike night or other venue . The PS power supply mode of OptiMate 6 Select delivers up to 5 amps , and the more powerful OptiMate 7 Select delivers up to 9 amps , at a voltage of 13.6V . But there ' s " yet more to these chargers ," says TecMate CEO / CTO Martin Human . " Both come with charge mode selection of 14.4V or 14.7V ( default at 20 ° C / 68 ° F ), which covers the charge requirement of any engine-start Pb / lead-acid battery - from standard flooded batteries to high-performance AGM . " Selection to match the battery under charge is memorized and remains even if power is lost . Both have OptiMate ' s fully integrated automatic charge control ( t ° and Ampmatic ) that adjusts voltage and current to deliver the exact charge the battery needs ; charge voltage ( volts ) is adjusted to ambient temperature and charge current ( Ampmatic ) is adjusted to match the battery ' s size and condition . " The PS power supply mode is a neat feature and in demand , as experienced at a recent motorcycle expo in the U . S ., where our ' Select ' chargers supported vehicles with LED lighting , sound equipment and demonstrations of a diagnostic tool . And when it comes to charging batteries , OptiMate 6 Select and
OptiMate 7 Select are specifically designed to make premium AGM batteries work right and last longer !" Available models : OptiMate 6 Select - EU : TM-370 , US / CA : TM-371 , UK : TM-372 OptiMate 7 Select - EU : TM-250 , US / CA : TM-251 , UK : TM-252 , JP : TM-257
