" Gone are the days when an experienced technician could listen to the motor run , figure out what ' s wrong , adjust a few things and presto - the engine is running smoother ," laments TecMate CEO Martin Human . " These days , troubleshooting and tuning is done via a diagnostic link between computer and motorcycle , and usually without the engine running - which works great until the motorcycle ' s battery runs out of power ! " That ' s where the OptiMate 7 SELECT can make a difference . Its PS ( power supply ) support mode provides a steady 13.6V with up to 8 amps available , quite sufficient to keep that battery charged whilst the computer diagnostics deliver their magic , either uploading a new ignition map or troubleshooting an electrical issue . " It can also charge fast . Motorcycles in for service often have a battery that is in bad shape one way or another , or there is that motorcycle in the showroom being drooled over by a prospective buyer , but it has a dead battery ... no problem ," says Martin . " OptiMate 7 SELECT has up to 10 amps on tap , smartly controlled by the AmpMatic program that adjusts charge current
