OPTIMATE SOLAR PANEL

What could be better than your own personal solar power plant! Whenever you need power, you simply position the solar panel in the sunlight or daylight, and you instantly have an essentially unlimited power supply at your finger-tips. In fact, it functions just like the solar panels you see on the roofs of houses. The OptiMate Solar Panel Battery Charger for 12 V standard, AGM and gel batteries from 2 Ah to 240 Ah.

The OptiMate is the world's most efficient solar pulse charging system with an intelligent charging function that will even bring a virtually "dead" battery back to life, and also provides long-term battery maintenance.

How it works:

• The charger tests the solar energy it receives,
• and once 1 V is reached, the intelligent system "decides" between pulse and continuous mode to provide the fastest charging
• MAINTAIN mode: continues next day if the battery has held the charge overnight. If not, the program switches back to "OPTIMISE" mode
• Charge state indicated every 3 seconds
• Readiness indicator for STD and high-performance AGM batteries
• Draws less than 0.5 mA in MONITOR mode
• Switches automatically to "CHARGE" mode when it receives sufficient sunlight

Setting up:

• The OptiMate Charge Controller can be positioned close to the motorcycle or battery so that the progress of charging and maintenance is easy to see
• The solar panel must be mounted and aligned in a suitable position so that it receives maximum sunlight
• The battery and the solar panel should be 315 cm apart. If necessary, use the OptiMate Extension Cable O-03, O-13 or O-2. Connect your battery to the solar panel and the OptiMate Charge Controller.
