For a battery able to remain above 12,4V throughout the 30 minute test - NO CHARGE CURRENT - and 30 minute

maintenance charge period, LED #4 remains on. If the battery voltage falls below 12,4V during the test the

program reverts to step 3.

The battery can draw current as required to support small loads and counter self-discharge.

Maintenance and voltage retention test periods continue alternating half-hourly until the battery is

disconnected.

LED#3 may light momentarily every hour - as the retention test ends battery maintenance charging resumes

and the battery may require in excess of 200mA to return to the safe voltage limit of 13,6V. THIS IS NORMAL.

for months at a time. At least once every two weeks, check that the connections between the charger and battery are

secure, and, in the case of batteries with filler caps on each cell, disconnect the battery from the charger, check the level of

 The time required for the OptiMate 2 to complete a charge on a flat but otherwise undamaged battery is

roughly equal to the battery’s Ah rating, so a 60Ah battery should take no more than about 60 hours to progress to Step 4.

Deep-discharged batteries may take significantly longer.
