OptiMate 4 Dual Program 12V Motorcycle Automatic Battery Charger Optimiser

3rd optimate purchased for family motorcycle battery maintenance due to being a great product ,which in this purchase recovered the battery back to full health after 24hr charge. Would highly recommend to anyone ,purchased at a great price with very quick delivery.

So I'm no expert and struggled for ages deciding on which Battery Charger to invest in. This was perfect in the end, both in terms of cost, usability and robustness. I used it to bring my 2016 Yamaha YZF R125 to life, after I left it to go completely flat for several months. This machine was able to diagnose and charge the battery back to normal. The equipment is pretty self-explanatory and if I can figure it out on my own, then I'm thinking anyone can. I would definitely recommend if you want a high quality piece of equipment, but without the technical headache. It's also well insulated and the wires are thicker and stronger than many others out there, making it a more sturdy option. It comes with the external charging leads and also the connectors that you can connect to the battery for long-term siting (I opted for this option). You can also mount it on a wall or something if you have a garage or something like that for storing your bike - it comes with the bracket and everything.

The optimate range have always been pretty good items and the Mk4 is a very good, compact intelligent battery charger. I ordered mine as my battery was strugling in the cold weather and although the charger is showing that the battery is good it has no depth of charge, I think in all fairness to the charger the cold has goosed the battery completely and especially in the mornings I have been resorting to bumping the bike, however for the last 2 nights I have left the charger connected overnight and while the bike is struggling a little on start when cold it is allowing me to start it on the button. I reckon I ran it too long with a dodgy battery before buying the charger. I do rate the Optimate highly and the extra connector to allow the charger flying lead to be connected up to the battery and left under the seat is quite frankly a godsend, as otherwise I have to remove half the luggage racks and then a side panel to get at the battery (Yammy Diversion XJ900) so that is a great idea. Have new battery on order and I think the Optimate will keep me rolling till it arrives. Fingers crossed anyway, the charger is also sealed so its waterproof and compact enough to be connected up, put under the seat and the seat replaced with no fuss at all. I would recomend this product to anyone looking for a high spec battery charger that will also work with Gel batteries. UPDATE and admission of fecklessness! I ordered and received a new battery, thought that I'd just check it with the optimax, it was unsurprisingly fine, but I noticed that when I connected the charger it did things I hadn't seen when I plugged it in to the bike, so back to the bike, double checked the old Optimax battery lead I had fitted and discovered that at some point the fuse in the extension had gone (Muppet!) so switched fuses and it is now going through the full test and charge cycle I might not have a goosed battery after all, Yay, but I may have bought a spare I don't need, Boo. Ah well at least the Optimax is working fine :)

I bought a replacement battery for my bike, but like an idiot I didn't even think about how I was going to charge it! The old one barely held a charge for 3 days and in winter when it needed a bit of extra cranking power it just died all the time. After reading lots of reviews and wanting to be kind to my new battery I bought this Optimate. I quickly flicked through the manual and noticed the recovery option so thought I would give it a go. As soon as I plugged it in the Optimate indicated that it was in recovery mode (automatically) so I left it overnight. Next day I came to it and the green LED for fully charged was lit! Needless to say I left the old battery in and it's working like a new one (it's 9 years old!). Unlike some others, I've had no trouble seeing what it's doing by a quick glance of the LEDs. Once you've looked at the chart in the manual a couple of times you will know what's going on in the future. The alligator clips to the battery are perfect. Very high quality, easy to get on and they stay in place. It's also nice to see another quality cable included that you can wire permanently to the battery so charging is just a case of plugging in! This is quite simply a magic box that will bring your battery back from the dead!

I love this. I have a classic motorcycle and I had a problem with the battery. I thought I needed an new battery as it appeared not to be holding a charge. It tested the battery over a few days and registered it as green = good. The bike started beautifully, further testing (not using the optimate) revealed a weakness in the charging circuit that is now fixed. As the bike is now laid up for the winter the optimate allows for the battery to remain connected on the bike and being charged via a special cable. I have the confidence that the battery will be in excellent condition whenever I choose to start the bike and am sure my battery life will be extended. There are a number of accessories available enabling you to connect a sat nav or similar in fact anything that can run off a cigarette lighter socket Extension Lead Optimate 3 and 4 Weatherproof Fused Eyelet Lead OptiMate 3 and 4 OptiMate 3 and OptiMate 4 Accessory Plug Lead (Female) Cigarette Lighter Adapter (Male) OptiMate 3 4 This is not just a battery charger the product coupled with the extras (once fitted to the bike) make up an excellent package, I'm glad I invested in one.

None of the Optimates are small money but this model, the Optimate 4 dual version, is worth the extra due to some useful extra features over the lesser, cheaper Optimate models. Specifically the 4 adds the ability to test the battery more fully and determine the voltage output status, helping understand where the battery is in its lifespan. The charging and maintenance processes are also more sophisticated than older models. It claims to be able to bring back batteries to life from near death better than lesser and earlier models too. Now having used the Optimate 4 for some weeks, I can confirm that these features do work well and its is worth the extra money in my view, still not exactly cheap though. This makes a very good upgrade for anyone like me with one of the older original Optimates. Mine packed up and I was on the hunt for a replacement. I considered another model like the Oxford ones, but my old Optimate has given very reliable service for 10+yrs so I only looked at Optimates. Worth noting that the connectors have changed over the years, so if you've wired in another plus or connector, it'll bneed changing to more recently used so called SAE connectors. I charge my battery through the battery-direct connected 12v socket that I use as an on-bike power source. Would get five stars from me if slightly better value.

This charger is fantastic! It's so easy to use, you just hook it up, plug it in, and it takes care of the rest. The included attachment you can wire on to the battery, so that you can charge without detaching the battery from the bike, is an absolute lifesaver, as my battery is a nightmare to reinsert. My only critique is that it's a proprietary connector, which does mean you can't hook it up the wrong way, but also means it can only be used with the optimate charger. No good if you need to use someone else's charger.... If you don't want to mess around with settings on the charger, this is the charger for you.

Top quality optimate does a great job was delivered quickly and well packaged

Ich habe das Ladegerät für die Batterie meiner Harley Davidson 48 gekauft. Die Lieferung erfolgte schnell und sicher. Das Gerät fühlt sich qualitativ sehr gut an. Das Material ist robust und stabil. Die Ladeleistung ist ebenfalls gut. Die verschiedenen Funktionen können auch hilfreich sein. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Hatte schon mal so eines, hab es leider aufgrund der falschen Bedienung kaputt gemacht (an mein Motorrad angeschlossen während das Gerät am Netz hing - gar nicht gut) und jetzt hab ich wieder eines. Funktioniert tadellos. Anschließen und vergessen. Benutze es mittlerweile bei beiden meiner Harleys, eine mit CAN-BUS, eine ohne, und hatte nie Probleme. Also von meiner Seite klare Kaufempfehlung!

Es ist TOP . Ich lade damit wirklich alles : Motorrad, VW T5 , Traktor, usw. Ich stecke auch die Batterie nie ab . Einfach Ladegerät drauf und fertig . Bei mir funktioniert das schon seit Jahren so ohne Probleme . Bestes Ladegerät .

top

Sehr schnelle Lieferung, Informationen zur Anlieferung, sehr zufrieden, dieses Gerät wird zur Batterie Pflege am Matorrad genutzt
