OptiMate USB O-108 on-bike charger
Finding a USB charger that can stand up to the rigours of the riding environment , while delivering the correct amount of charge and without draining the motorcycle ’ s battery , isn ’ t straightforward , with many cables and ports falling short . However , new to the OptiMate range of motorcycle purpose built products , their USB O-108 on-bike charger delivers a powerful 3.3A - enough even for the latest smartphones with USB-C charge connectors . Built-in microprocessor controlled battery protection prevents the motorcycle ’ s battery from being accidentally discharged after parking , and once parked , charging is limited to a maximum of three hours before it shuts off automatically . It restarts when the engine has restarted and the vehicle charge voltage is back to normal . As a failsafe , even during riding , the O-108 USB automatically cuts charging to the USB device if the vehicle ’ s battery voltage drops below 12.3V ( approximately 50 % charge remaining in an AGM battery ). An easy-to-read LED display enables the user to see at a glance if it is delivering full or restricted ( 3 hours max ) power or has shut down due to the battery voltage being too low . All OptiMate USB chargers are 100 % true power rated and deliver a continuous and consistent charge . They also come with a built-in Apple ‘ handshake ’, to guarantee iPhones and iPads charge at the appropriate maximum . Weatherproofing comes as standard , to prevent moisture causing problems and guarding against any damp issues with the bike ’ s electrical system .
