Key Features

  • Ampmatic Charge Control: This technology automatically adjusts the charge current (from 0.4A to 10A) to match the size and condition of the connected battery, ensuring the fastest and most complete charge without overcharging smaller batteries.
  • Multi-Stage Desulfation: The OptiMATE 7 Ampmatic utilizes a two-step recovery program to restore neglected or "dead flat" sulfated 12V batteries, bringing them back from as low as 0.5 Volts.
  • Temperature Compensation: Charging voltage is automatically adjusted based on ambient temperature. This ensures optimal charging in cold conditions and prevents overcharging when temperatures are high.
  • Cell Voltage Balancing: A unique pulsed absorption mode helps to equalize the individual cells within the battery, preparing new batteries for first use and optimizing overall battery performance.
  • Automatic Testing and Diagnosis: The charger performs daily battery condition tests and an interactive float charge, stopping and warning the user if a battery fault is detected.
  • Safe for Vehicle Electronics: Designed with spark suppression and protection against short circuits and reverse polarity, ensuring it is completely safe for vehicle electronics during operation.

Applications

The OPTIMATE 7 AMPMATIC is a versatile 12V battery saving charger, tester, and maintainer suitable for a broad range of lead-acid batteries. It is ideal for long-term maintenance of seasonal vehicles or for daily charging of frequently used equipment.

  • Automotive: Cars, trucks, and other passenger vehicles.
  • Powersport: Motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobiles.
  • Marine: Boats, personal watercraft, and other marine craft.
  • Recreational Vehicles: RVs, motorhomes, and travel trailers.
  • Deep Cycle Applications: Golf carts, mobility scooters, and standby power systems.

Benefits
