Pro Battery Care Redefined
preparation can become a time-consuming hassle unless you have the right equipment readily available. That applies for new battery activation and recovery of batteries that may have been stored for a long time. TecMate CEO / CTO Martin Human says that they " have the right, professional battery chargers that make it easy- guaranteeing that those new batteries will work right and last long." The OptiMate PRO DUO series includes a 4-bank( 4-station) and a single bank / station diagnostic battery charger. Both products are global use rated, accepting 100- 240V 50-60Hz through an IEC-C8 socket that accepts an exchangeable IEC- C7 power cord. " The OptiMate PRO4-DUO( p / n: TM670) is the ideal new battery activator. Each of four stations deliver up to 5 amps, with current automatically regulated by the AmpMatic processor to match the selected battery chemistry and the battery ' s capacity, that is smaller batteries get less current, bigger batteries get more."
' easy for dealers to save time and money '
There are three selections per station, Pb( lead) for all 12V lead-acid batteries including standard flooded and sealed( valve-regulating lead-acid) AGM and GEL batteries, LFP for all 12.8V 4-cell-in-series Lithium Ferrous Phosphate( LiFePO4 / LiFe) and the 60 '( sixty minutes) for quick activation of any power sport battery. " The 60 ' mode allows speedy activation of ' dry ' charged AGM back to full charge before being fitted to a vehicle, or bring a factory activated AGM or LFP Li-Ion battery delivered at below 30 % charge level( as mandated for shipping,) to full charge before fitment." A dead-flat powersport battery can be recovered and then
tested, with result displayed on a 3- LED( red-yellow-green) panel. Each station can save a ' dead flat ' battery from as low as half a volt for Pb( lead-acid) and from zero volts for LFP( Lithium)- the LFP mode also includes a manually activated BMS reset to bring new smart lithium batteries out of sleep mode or reset the over-discharge protection and safely recharge the battery. " OptiMate PRO-1 DUO( p / n: TM650) is the ultimate technician ' s battery charger. With selection for Pb( leadacid) and LFP( Lithium Ferrous Phosphate) batteries, it can activate or ' wake up ' all new power-sport batteries or recover a neglected battery. " The powerful OptiMate PRO-1 DUO delivers up to 10 amps of charge to get even the biggest powersport battery ready quickly, but charges small batteries equally well as the AmpMatic processor automatically regulates charge rate to match battery size." A key feature is the PS( power-supply) mode that provides stable battery support at 13.6V to the vehicle ' s battery and system during diagnostic service or troubleshooting. A removable hanging hook allows for portable use at the vehicle, with the integrated rubber feet and side bumpers preventing damage to vehicle surfaces. Martin says that " the OptiMate PRO DUO range has redefined professional battery care and makes it easy for dealers to save time and money."
