OptiMate
Hello TecMate Staff
Date: April 19, 2010
I received my new Optimate 6 in the mail just the other day and I immediately wanted to test it and see what it was capable of doing.
So I dug around my shop and found two 12V deep cycle batteries that had been sitting for over 2 ½ years. I did not have a voltage meter with me at the time, so I checked the two batteries with a piece of wire and a flashlight bulb to see if they had any juice in them. They were both totally dead, not even a blink out of the bulb.
So I followed the instructions in the booklet and put one of my batteries on the Optimate 6 and left it on over night. The next morning when I arrived to the shop, I went to the work bench to check on the battery, and the GREEN light was on. So I disconnected the charger and got my meter and it was reading 13.2 V. WOW was I surprised. So I then took the Optimate 6 and put it on the other battery and again let it run. Later on that afternoon my battery was as good as new.
I have used many types of battery chargers and I have to say that this is the very best charger on the market today.
Thank you TecMate! You have just saved me a bunch of money on battery replacements.

Hello TecMate,

Subject: Optimate
I bought an optimate charger from Riverside in Somerville, MA where I bought a used Honda Superhawk. The brief story is that I rode my beloved bike to work most of this warm, past winter (2.0 miles) except for two weeks in both
January and February. I spent money on an OptiMate instead of a new battery because Al at Riverside told me it would work and he was right [for once].
Last fall after the alternator/rectifier on the bike died and I thought the 2year old battery was a goner. It's spring and I know this battery will last through the summer now. The carbuerated twin took a lot to turn over with 10W40 oil and the short commute was not enough to charge the battery.
OptiMate completely enabled my global warming commute odyssey.

Dear Mr Demonty
When I was home on vacation during June-July from Saudia Arabia, I went to use my five year old OptiMate which had never previously been used and found it defective.
It was sent to your company and department for asseement and you promptly repaired and returned it to me free of charge.
Thank you so very much for your excellent service and product support which I have not found with other reputable companies.
I really appreciate the work that had been carried out and I will recommend your company and products to all my friends.
Once again thanks for your support and kindness.
Yours sincerely

Optimate 3 Battery Charger
Worked as promised - Charges relatively quickly and restored batteries that would not take a charge from my other chargers. I wish the adapter was the type of connection used on other battery chargers and many heated accessories (like my Eclipse Vest). I made my own intermediate adapter and all is fine.
The OptiMate 3 (in the new red hang packaging) now includes this adapter free of charge !

Restored a dead motorcycle battery
My battery was totally dead after sitting for 3 months while I was away on business (the clock drained it), but 24 hours on the Optimate kicked it back into life. That was 4 years ago and the battery is still going strong.

Optimate Battery Charger
I have seven motorcycles and ALL of them are on Optimate battery chargers. I trust my batteries to no other. In fact, my battery powered back-up sump pump is also maintained by an Optimate charger. Great product that just has no rival.

Optimate 3 Battery charger
Works great and you do not have to worry about overcharge. The best feature is the quick connect wire so that you do not have to remove the seat to charge. Great bang for the buck.

Optimate lll Battery Charger
The Optimate 3 provides a stronger charge than most trickle chargers I have used. It is convenient to use any time as it simply gets plugged in. No reason to remove the seat once installation is complete.

Motorcycle owner
I have a few different chargers and I had been using them on a small motorcycle battery that I would let charge for 2+ days at a time, it would not hold enough of a charge to crank over the motor even a day after I disconnected the charger. then I received the Optimate 3 and I let it charge the same battery for 1 1/2 days (in the cold of November) and I was shocked when I tried to start the scoot as usual and instead it cranked right over with force, instead of the usual uhh,uhh,trat,trat.

Dear Sirs
AccuMate Charger-Maintainer
I made an enquiry to you at the end of December last year regarding the possibility of reversing the polarity of a cigar lighter attachment in order to accommodate the positive earth system on an MGB.
I was delighted by your response in actually providing me with the length of cable and two connectors which I suggested might do the trick.
Until last evening I had been unable to try the charger out on this car but I can now report just how successful the new arrangement is proving to be.
very many thanks for your help in this matter. The speed with which you were able to provide a solution was impressive.
Yours sincerely
Raymond Bates
P.s. Trust that you can convey my thanks to the TecMate team and my compliments for 2007. This was the best present I had for Christmas - definitely
