The OPTIMIZE mode starts when the voltage has reached 7.2V / 14.4V 
for the first time during CHARGE mode. 
The ampmatic™ current control program now delivers pulses of 
current to equalise the individual cells within the battery and optimizes 
charge level. 
OPTIMIZE mode charging time: minimum 10 minutes up to a maximum of 
2 hours. NOTE: Charge time is usually extended if there is higher than 
expected current draw by connected circuitry or battery health is less than 
optimal. 
For safety reasons there is an overall charge time limit of 72 hours for 
STEP 4, 5 and 6.

TEST after charge : Delivery of current to the battery is interrupted for  
30 minutes* to allow the program to determine the battery’s ability  
to retain charge. 
* IF charging started in SAVE mode (LED #3) the voltage retention test is 
extended to 12 hours to confirm battery health.
LED #5 (green) will remain on for batteries able to hold 50% or higher 
state of charge (SOC%), otherwise the TEST result is adjusted lower (LED 
#6) in real time according to the measured battery voltage. 
LED #6 flashing / blinking - The battery voltage has reduced below 6.2V / 
12.4V (50% SOC for an AGM battery, 75% SOC for a STD wet cell battery). 
The OptiMate will try recharge the battery again and then repeat the test. 
Consult the table on page 2 to match TEST LED indication to an estimated 
state of charge percentage (SOC%).

MAINTENANCE CHARGE: LED #5 ON or LED #6 flashing according to 
final voltage measured at termination of STEP 7. 
Float voltage setting: For 6V batteries: 6.8V. 
For 12V batteries: 13.6V. 
Continuous float maintenance charge will be applied to the battery if the 
charger sensed that connected circuitry has a current draw exceeding 
200mA, otherwise the charger proceeds with the standard maintenance 
mode. 
The standard maintenance mode consists of 30 minute float charge 
periods followed by and alternating with 30 minute ‘rest’ periods, during 
which there is no charge delivered. This “50% duty cycle” prevents loss of 
electrolyte in sealed batteries and minimizes gradual loss of water from 
the electrolyte in batteries with filler caps, and thereby contributes 
significantly to optimizing the service life of irregularly or seasonally used 
batteries.
During “float charge” a continuous LOW CURRENT PULSE IS DELIVERED 
TO PREVENT SULPHATION, further extending battery power and life.
If the OptiMate senses the battery has suddenly lost charge the 
program will revert back to STEP 5 (CHARGE). 
 VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES: If the battery is deeply discharged (and possibly sulfated), 
remove from the vehicle or equipment and inspect the battery before connecting the charger for a 
recovery attempt.  
The charger’s recovery mode may not engage if it senses that the battery is still connected to a 
circuit which effectively offers a lower electrical resistance than the battery on its own. However, if the 
deep-discharged battery is not removed for recovery, neither battery nor vehicle or equipment electronics 
will be damaged.
