TecMate : It ' s celebration time for TecMate as CEO / CTO Martin Human celebrates the 30th anniversary of the business this Fall . Recent product range news included TecMate ' s OptiMate 6 Select and OptiMate 7 Select , which come with a power supply ( PS ) mode that provides stable support power to the battery .

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 battery support on the showroom or expo floor , diagnostic tool or sound equipment . The powerful OptiMate 7 Select delivers up to 9 amp , at a voltage of 13.6V . Additional features include a charge mode selection of 14.4V or 14.7V ( default at 20 ° C / 68 ° F ), which covers the charge requirement of any SLI / engine start Pb / lead-acid battery - from standard flooded batteries to high performance AGM ; www . optimate1 . com
