PREPARING THE BATTERY :
-
If the battery is new, before connecting the charger read the battery manufacturer’s safety and operational instructions carefully. If applicable, carefully and exactly follow acid filling instructions.
-
If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc. First remove grounded terminal (normally marked NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) from battery first, then the terminal marked POSITIVE (POS, P, +).
-
Place the battery in a well ventilated area.
-
Visually check the battery for mechanical defects such as a bulging or cracked casing, or signs of electrolyte leakage. If the battery has filler caps and the plates within the cells can be seen from the outside, examine the battery carefully to try to determine if any cells seem different to the others (for example, with white matter between the plates, plates touching).
If mechanical defects are apparent do not attempt to charge the battery, have the battery professionally assessed. -
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
-
For lead-acid batteries with removable filler caps, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
-
For a battery without cell caps, such as valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA), absorbed glass mat (AGM) lead-acid or Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
-
Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
-
Determine voltage of battery by referring to vehicle or other user’s manual and before making the battery connections, make sure that the voltage of the battery you are going to charge matches the output voltage of the battery charger.

PROCEEDING TO CHARGE
SELECTING A CHARGE PROGRAM:
OptiMate4 Quad program has four selectable charge programs. A charge program
must be selected before making connection to a battery. Each program has
unique charge and test parameters to match the battery’s chemistry and
connection method to the battery. The selected program remains in memory after
disconnection from the battery, or if AC power is interupted, or until a new
selection is made.
-
PROGRAM 1 – Pb (LED #1a) : is the direct-to-battery charge program for a lead-acid battery in any condition. All program features are active, including high voltage TURBO and PULSE desulfation mode.
-
PROGRAM 2 – Pb (LED #1a) + CAN-bus (LED #2): automatically activates charging for a lead-acid battery through the 12V outlet on vehicles fitted with a CAN-bus controlled 12V outlet, to charge, test and maintain a healthy battery when the vehicle is in storage. All desulfation modes are de-activated. The CAN-BUS (LED #2) blinks until a battery is sensed, then it turns full on.
IMPORTANT: FLAT BATTERY (< 5V) – if the vehicle’s lead-acid battery is deep discharged the vehicle’s CAN-bus system will not be able to activate the 12V socket. Remove the battery, inspect it for physical damage or leakage, if deemed acceptable, to recharge select Program 1 and connect the OptiMate4 directly to the battery. -
PROGRAM 3 – LFP (LED #1b): is the direct-to-battery charge program for a LiFePO4 (Lithium Ferrous Phosphate) battery in any condition.
Use this program to reset a battery fitted with integrated battery management system (BMS) that protect against deep discharge.
IMPORTANT! Before proceeding, confirm the battery is connected correctly: Read the section on the previous page: CONNECTING CHARGER TO THE BATTERY. -
Press the pushbutton
After 3 seconds LED #3 lights every second as a special BMS reset pulse is delivered. When the OptiMate 4 senses the battery BMS has reset the reset pulses will automatically discontinue and charging will automatically continue. Remove finger from pushbutton. -
BMS not resetting:
LED #3 lights briefly and then turns off: A deep discharged battery may not hold sufficient voltage to power its own BMS system. Use the MANUAL RESET: place and hold finger on BMS reset button for 10 or more seconds, until the program continues to STEP 4. -
BMS not resetting:
LED #8 flashes/blinks.
1. Battery is connected in reverse polarity. Correct the connections and try again.
2. The system powered by the battery is preventing the pulse from being delivered. Disconnect or turn off the system and try again.
3. The battery’s BMS or the battery itself may have suffered damage. Have the battery professionally assessed.
-
More: An advanced battery management system may include thermal protection that prevents reset if the battery temperature falls outside of the manufacturer recommended safe operating temperature range. Check battery manufacturer’s specifications.
-
PROGRAM 4 – LFP (LED #1b) + CAN-bus (LED #2): automatically activates charging through the 12V outlet on vehicles fitted with a CAN-bus controlled 12V outlet, to charge, test and maintain a healthy LiFePO4 (Lithium Ferrous Phosphate) battery when the vehicle is in storage. The CAN-BUS (LED #2) blinks until a battery is sensed, then it turns full on.
IMPORTANT: FLAT BATTERY (< 9V) – if the vehicle’s LFP/Lithium battery is deep discharged or the battery’s BMS system has turned off power within, the vehicle’s CAN-bus system will not be able to activate the 12V socket. Remove the battery, inspect it for physical damage or leakage, if deemed acceptable, to recharge select Program 3 and connect the OptiMate4 directly to the battery. -
VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIE S: 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. ATTENTION: A battery left deep-discharged for an extended period may develop permanent damage in one or more cells. Such batteries may heat up excessively during high current charging. Monitor the battery temperature during the first hour, then hourly there-after. Check for unusual signs, such as bubbling or leaking electrolyte, heightened activity in one cell compared to others, or hissing sounds. If at any time the battery is uncomfortably hot to touch or you notice any unusual signs, DISCONNECT THE CHARGER IMMEDIATELY.
-
CHARGING TIME : Charge time on a flat but otherwise undamaged battery: a 12Ah battery should take no more than about 12 hours to progress to the self-discharge check. Deep-discharged batteries may take significantly longer.
-
MAINTAINING A BATTERY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS: OptiMate 4 Quad Program is designed to maintain a battery continuously (24-7); it can be safely left connected to a healthy battery for months at a time.
-
RECOMMENDED: At least once every two weeks, check that the connections between the charger and battery are secure. In the case of lead-acid batteries with filler caps on each cell, disconnect the battery from the charger, check the level of the electrolyte and if necessary, top up the cells (with distilled water, NOT acid), then reconnect. When handling batteries or in their vicinity, always take care to observe the SAFETY WARNINGS above.
-
NOTES ON TEST RESULTS: The voltage of a cooled battery is directly proportional to its State Of Charge percentage (SOC%). Immediately following charging a battery may briefly hold a higher voltage, as charging raises the temperature of chemical elements within the battery. A battery recovered from a deep discharged state may need longer to cool and voltage to settle to reflect its true state of charge (SOC%).

ECO POWER SAVING MODE WHEN THE CHARGER IS CONNECTED TO AC SUPPLY:
The power converter switches to ECO mode when the charger is not connected to
a battery resulting in a very low power draw of less than 0.5W, equivalent to
power consumption of 0.012 kWh per day. When a battery is connected to the
charger power consumption depends on the current demand of the battery and its
connected vehicle / electronic circuitry. After the battery has been charged
and the charger is in long term maintenance charge mode (to keep the battery
at 100% charge) the total power consumption is estimated to be 0.024kWh or
less per day.
