Battery Support on the Showroom/Expo Floor
TecMate's OptiMate 6 Select and OptiMate 7 Select come with a power supply (PS) mode that provides stable support power to the battery. This mode is pre-selectable prior to battery connection or can be selected whilst charging a battery.
Originally meant to support the battery during troubleshooting or setting up of a motorcycle by the vehicle owner (e.g. electronic suspension, Bluetooth connectivity, sound system and the like).
However, this power supply feature has also gained popularity in showrooms where new electronic/electrical features are demonstrated by dealers and at exhibitions where manufacturers demonstrate their electronic aftermarket products on a non-running motorcycle, such as LED lighting, a diagnostic tool or sound equipment. It is also a boon for use when displaying a bike at a local show, expo, bike night or other venue.
The PS power supply mode of OptiMate 6 Select delivers up to 5 amps, and the more powerful OptiMate 7 Select delivers up to 9 amps, at a voltage of 13.6V.
But there's "yet more to these chargers," says TecMate CEO/CTO Martin Human. "Both come with charge mode selection of 14.4V or 14.7V (default at 20°C/68°F), which covers the charge requirement of any engine-start Pb/lead-acid battery - from standard flooded batteries to high-performance AGM.
"Selection to match the battery under charge is memorized and remains even if power is lost. Both have OptiMate's fully integrated automatic charge control (t° and Ampmatic) that adjusts voltage and current to deliver the exact charge the battery needs; charge voltage (volts) is adjusted to ambient temperature and charge current (Ampmatic) is adjusted to match the battery's size and condition.
"The PS power supply mode is a neat feature and in demand, as experienced at a recent motorcycle expo in the U.S., where our 'Select' chargers supported vehicles with LED lighting, sound equipment and demonstrations of a diagnostic tool. And when it comes to charging batteries, OptiMate 6 Select and OptiMate 7 Select are specifically designed to make premium AGM batteries work right and last longer!"
