OptiMate 4 Battery Charger Motorcycle Rider Must Have!


A good motorcycle battery charger and battery tender is a must have for any motorcycle owner. And as most riders needing to store their motorcycle over the winter, a battery tender is the solution to maintaining your battery life.  Furthermore, today with modern motorcycles housing smart computer systems and high-tech alarm systems, there’s a greater drain on your battery.  The OptiMate 4 battery charger and product line of chargers truly make motorcycle and scooter battery management effortless.

The OptiMate 4 and any of the OptiMate line offers truly unique multi-functional diagnostic battery optimiser for 12V lead-acid batteries (sealed/maintenance-free, gel, or filler caps). Really, it is the only battery tender you’ll need. It features a 9-step 12V 0.8A motorcycle battery saving charger – tester and maintainer.OptiMATE 4 Battery Charger MOTORESS

The OptiMate  products by TecMate are the “best of the best” when it comes to motorcycle battery chargers/battery tenders. This latest version Optimate 4 can also save neglected motorcycle batteries.  It’s armed with an even more effective dual-stage “Recovery & Turbo Recovery” desulfating action. For neglected deep-discharged batteries the RECOVERY mode engages automatically, while the TURBO RECOVERY mode engages for more severely neglected batteries.

OptiMate 4 Battery Charger For Motorcycle Battery Maintenance

Just as in other OptiMate products, the OptiMate 4 charges the battery, verifies that the battery is as fully charged as its basic state of health allows, then checks for & detects dead battery cells. This occurs through a six step process:
