TecMate: Finding the source of high parasitic drain in a motorcycle is time consuming and frustrating. Modern motorcycles have additional ' always on ' components requiring power to remain at ready for the( theoretical) convenience of the rider. Martin Human, CEO and COO of TecMate says that " the consequence of high parasitic draw left unattended in a parked vehicle is a deep discharged battery that will suffer permanent damage, the deeper the discharge the higher the level of damage it may suffer." Recommending the right charger for the job makes the problem very likely fixable. Martin ' s experience and research with motorcycle electrics has resulted in an everevolving range of OptiMate battery chargers, maintainers and conditioners that can meet every rider ' s needs and deal with parasitic draw issues; www. tecmate. com, www. optimate1. com
