6. Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug immediately.

7. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

8. Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.
   Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. Clean only with a slightly moist, not wet, cloth. Do not use solvents.

10. Warning – the risk of explosive gases. a) working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. for this reason, it is of utmost importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the charger. b) To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engines.

11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS.
    a) Someone should be within range of your voice OR close enough to come to your aid when you work near a battery. b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near a battery. d) If battery acid contacts or enters the eye, flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap & water. If acid enters an eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes & get medical attention immediately. e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. f) Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit a battery or another electrical part that may cause an explosion. g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn. i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.

12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
    a) If necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
    b) Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.
    c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with the eyes. d) Add distilled water to each cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve-regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions. e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge. f) Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the 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 charger.

13. CHARGER LOCATION.
    a) Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit. b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage the charger. c) Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading gravity or filling the battery. Do not operate chargers in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way. d) Do not set a battery on top of the charger.
    IMPORTANT: Place the charger on a hard flat surface or mount it onto a vertical surface. Do not place on plastic, leather, or textile surface.

14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
    a) Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing the AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other, however, should this happen no damage will result to the charger circuit & the automatic charging program will just reset to «start». b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through 16(d).
    NOTE: This battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from operating if the battery has been inversely connected.
    Remove the AC cord from the electrical outlet, disconnect the battery clips, then reconnect correctly according to the instructions below.

15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY :
    a) Position AC and DC cords so as to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, or moving engine part. b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons. c) Check the polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post. d) Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f). e) For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, + ) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block. f) For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG. N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
    Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block. g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches off, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clip from the battery terminal. h) See operating instructions for length of charge information.

16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY :
    a) Check the polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
    b) This battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from operating if the battery has been inversely connected. The charger does not allow charge current unless a voltage of at least 0.5V is sensed.
    c) Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery. d) Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post of the battery. e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
    f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in the reverse sequence of connecting procedure & break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
    g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed & charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

A. PREPARING TO CHARGE
BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: This OptiMate PRO DUO battery charger is designed to charge 12V lead-acid or 12.8V/ 13.2V Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LiFePO4*) batteries.

• LiFePO4: a commonly used acronym is LFP or the abbreviation LiFe.
  Advanced LFP/LiFePO4 batteries have a resettable internal overcharge protective circuit within their battery management system (BMS), that will disconnect power internally from the positive battery terminal if the voltage has reduced below a set value (e.g. 8.2V) during discharge. This over- discharge protection may automatically reset and once again deliver power to the positive terminal if the voltage has increased above the reset voltage (e.g. 8.6V). This may occur repeatedly if the battery is discharging in a motorcycle until the charge remaining has reduced to a level where the battery voltage is unable to rise above the reset level.
  DIFFERENT BATTERY SIZES: The ampmatic™ CHARGE program automatically determines the most efficient rate of charge current for the connected battery, according to its state of charge, state of health, and electrical storage (Ah) capacity.
  CHARGING ENVIRONMENT °t: LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries can be safely charged and used between the temperatures of 0°C/32°F and 45°C/113°F. If the battery was stored in temperatures above or below this range, before charging allow sufficient time for the battery temperature to acclimate within the safe temperature range. DO NOT CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY! OptiMate PRO DUO will adjust the charge current if the temperature measured at the battery charger is equal to or below 0ºC / 32ºF or above 45ºC / 113ºF. If the temperature was initially below 0ºC / 32ºF charge current is limited for the first hour after which the battery is expected to have increased its internal temperature. If the temperature is below -20ºC/-4°F or above 55°C/131°F no charging will be allowed.
  Lead-acid (Pb) batteries: The charge voltage is inversely regulated according to ambient temperature i.e. voltage is increased at a lower temperature, and decreased at a higher temperature. Adjustment: -0.004V / cell / °C above or below 20°C (68°F).
  NEW BATTERIES: Always charge before first use. New LFP/LiFePO4 batteries are subject to international transportation limitations and may be delivered with a 30% or less state of charge. Batteries fitted with resettable over- discharge protection may be delivered in ‘sleep mode’ i.e. the power to the positive terminal has been internally disconnected i.e. no voltage will be measured at the battery terminals/posts. During storage, the battery may have lost further charge.
  VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES: A LiFePO4 battery left deep-discharged for an extended period may develop permanent damage in one or more cells that may heat up excessively during charging. The OptiMate PRO DUO limits charge current if the voltage is below nominal (12V / 12.8V) and the program should detect obvious cell damage and will automatically suspend charging, but it still remains essential to monitor the battery temperature during the first hour, then hourly thereafter. If at any time the battery is uncomfortably hot to touch or you notice any unusual signs, DISCONNECT THE CHARGER IMMEDIATELY.

CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY

1. Before connecting the charger to the battery always physically inspect the battery, even if new.
   WARNING – A damaged battery can overheat and emit explosive gases and an LFP/LiFePO4 may even self-combust during charging. DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY if you observe any of the following: case deformation such as bulging, cracks or stress fractures, loose battery terminals/posts, or leaking of any kind.
   Leaking confirms there is a fatally damaged cell that has burst. The liquid electrolyte is highly flammable and corrosive and a known carcinogen.
   Make sure the positive and negative terminals do not come into contact with each other. Shorting the positive and negative terminals may cause the battery to vent gas at a very high temperature (known as a thermal runaway). Venting high-temperature gas will cause irreparable damage to the motorcycle and/or serious personal injury or death.
   If the battery is in use or being recharged and it gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes deformed, discolored, or appears abnormal in any way, immediately discontinue use or disconnect it from the charger.

2. Before making or breaking DC/battery connections, turn off the AC supply using the ON/OFF rocker switch (SW1) located on the side of the case. (See illustration 1 on page 2).

3. When preparing a new battery prior to installation, or recharging a used battery in the designated battery preparation area, always use the fused battery clip set. First, connect the red (POS / +) battery clip to the positive (POS / +) battery terminal, then connect the black (NEG / – ) battery clip to the negative (NEG / – ) battery terminal.

4. If connecting to a battery installed in a motorcycle, a) with the provided O-14 fused battery clips: before making connections, first check that the battery clips can be safely and securely positioned clear from surrounding wiring, metal tubing, or the chassis. Make connections in the following order: First, connect the red (POS / +) battery clip to the positive (POS / +) battery terminal (normally not connected to the chassis), then connect the black (NEG / – ) battery clip to the negative (NEG / – ) battery terminal or to the chassis well away from the battery and fuel line. Always disconnect in reverse sequence.
   b) through a pre-installed O-01 battery fused lead or another suitable power connector: before connection inspects the connector, cables to the battery, and connection at the battery.

PROCEEDING TO CHARGE

1. SELECTABLE MODES:
   Pb – LED #1a – for 12V lead-acid (STD / AGM / GEL) batteries.
   LFP – LED #1b – for 12.8V / 13.2V LiFePO4 batteries.
   WARNING: Select the correct charge mode for Pb / lead-acid or LFP / LiFePO4 batteries. The charger may prematurely stop charging if it senses the selection is incorrect.
   Supply (Su) – LED #2 – WARNING: SUPPLY mode is not a charge mode. To use this mode go to section 3.
   START – SUPPLY.

2. START – CHARGE A BATTERY
   a) Turn off AC power to the charger with rocker switch SW1. b) Connect the battery as described in section B. CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY. c) Turn on AC power with rocker switch SW1.
   WARNING: If LED #1a and 1b are blinking together the battery is connected in reverse polarity. Return to a). d) The Pb (LED #1a), LFP (LED #1b) and Su (LED #2) selection indicators will be (dimly) lit.
   To make a charge mode selection press and release the button once for Pb and twice for LFP. Continuing to press and release the button in rapid succession will cycle selection from Pb through to Su and then back to Pb.
   If no further selection is made for 3 seconds the last selected mode LED brightens to confirm selection is now final. Continue to e). To change the selection, return to a).
   e) The OptiMate now determines the battery voltage.
   Pb & LFP modes: if the connected battery’s voltage is 0.5V or higher charging continues automatically, see STEP 1 – AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION.
   LFP mode: If the connected battery measures less than 0.5V, as expected for a deep discharged LiFePO4 battery with battery management system (BMS) that requires a reset, or for a new LiFePO4 battery delivered in ‘sleep mode’ (read prior section NEW BATTERIES), follow the procedure described under MANUAL ACTIVATION
   (STEP 1).
   NOTE: If Pb was selected, no further charging is possible. If a lead-acid battery could not recover to at least 0.5V when disconnected from vehicle circuitry, it is unlikely the battery will be successfully returned to service.
   f) If no battery has been sensed or MANUAL ACTIVATION was not successful the charger will reset after 5 minutes. Return to a) or d) above.

STEP 1 – Charger activation
AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION: The program proceeds directly to STEP 2 & 3 and LED #3 or LED #4 will turn on depending on the condition of the battery.
MANUAL ACTIVATION: Required for LiFePO4 batteries with an integrated battery management system (BMS) that protect against deep discharge, or for a new LiFePO4 battery delivered in ‘sleep mode’: Press the pushbutton until LED #3 starts blinking. Remove the finger from the pushbutton.
LED #3 now blinks once per second as a special BMS reset pulse is delivered. When the OptiMate senses the battery BMS has reset, LED #3 turns full-on, the reset pulses will automatically discontinue and the program will continue to STEP 5.
BMS not resetting: LED #3 stopped blinking after one minute and turned off and LED #8 may now be blinking indicating a possible ERROR. See the list below, each with a suggested corrective action. Correct the error, press and release the button to cancel the ERROR indication and then re-attempt MANUAL ACTIVATION.

1. The battery is connected in reverse polarity. Correct the connections and try again.
2. The vehicle circuitry powered by the battery is preventing the pulse from being delivered. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle and try again.
3. The battery’s BMS or the battery itself may have suffered damage. Has the battery been professionally assessed?
4. Temperature, as measured at the battery charger, is below -20ºC/-4°F or above 55°C/131°F. Follow instructions under section ‘LED #8 flashing rapidly-  RROR!’.
5. A deeply discharged battery may not hold sufficient voltage to power its own BMS system. After canceling the error, now place and hold your finger on the selection button for 10 or more seconds until LED #3 turns full on. The program now continues directly to STEP
6. Remove the finger from the pushbutton.

STEP 2 & 3 – Battery State of charge & ambient temperature
Battery voltage is measured to determine the State Of Charge (SOC) and the initial charge step.
LFP mode: The charge program limits charge current if the temperature measured at the OptiMate is equal to or below 0ºC / 32ºF or above 45ºC / 113ºF. If the temperature was initially below 0ºC / 32ºF charge current is limited for the first hour after which the battery is expected to have increased its internal temperature.
Pb and LFP charge modes: If the temperature is below -20ºC/-4°F or above 55°C/131°F no charging will be allowed. Follow instructions under section ‘LED

8 blinking rapidly – ERROR!’.

LED #3 – LOW VOLT SAVE MODE
Charging starts here for a battery with voltage measuring less than 12.4V if a Pb / lead-acid battery or 13V if a LiFePO4 battery, or if the charger was manually activated. Charging will continue through steps 4 to 6, during which continuous battery health testing is performed to ensure the battery is safely recovering. If a problem is detected charging may be suspended and LED #8 will blink rapidly. Follow instructions under section ‘LED #8 blinking rapidly – ERROR!’.
STEP 4 – SAVE, deep discharged battery below 8.8V. SOC<0%
Pb: Current starts at 200mA and is delivered in pulses to determine if the sulfated battery is able to accept a charge. Once confirmed charging will continue to STEP 5.
LFP: Current starts at 200mA and will increase as the voltage rises towards 8.8V. A healthy battery should progress to STEP 5 within 2 hours.
STEP 5 – SAVE, discharged battery 8.8V or higher, able to accept a charge. SOC≥0%
Pb: Current is varied between 0.2A and 1.25A, up to a voltage of 14.4V, for a maximum period of 2 hours.
LFP: Maximum current is set to 1.25A. The battery’s charge acceptance is monitored for unusual behavior such as may be displayed by a battery with a short-circuited cell.
STEP 6 – TESTING – The battery’s ability to accept charge normally is monitored throughout STEP 4 and 5. A final test may be performed as described below. If damage has been detected, charging will be suspended.
Pb: A healthy Pb battery should progress to STEP 7 within two hours, otherwise charging is interrupted for 2 minutes, and the battery’s ability to hold a charge is monitored.
LFP: Once the voltage has risen to 13.1V charging is interrupted and the battery’s ability to hold a charge is monitored for 2 minutes.
A healthy battery will progress to STEP 7.
LED #4 – BULK CHARGE SOC≥50%
Charging starts here for a battery with a voltage measuring 12.4V for a Pb / lead-acid battery or 13V or higher for a LiFePO4 battery.
STEP 7 – The ampmatic™ CHARGE program automatically determines the most efficient rate of charge current for the connected battery, according to its state of charge, state of health, and electrical storage (Ah) capacity. The delivered current may be anywhere from 1.25A to 10A (within the safe ambient temperature environment).
LED #5 – ABSORPTION CHARGE SOC≥75%
STEP 8 – Charging continues until 14.4V is reached after which the ampmatic™ current control program delivers pulses of current for a period of 10 minutes, with voltage cycling between 14.1V and 14.4V to equalize the individual cells within the battery.
NOTE: For safety reasons, there is an overall charge time limit of 24 hours up to STEP 8, if exceeded, STEP 9 starts automatically.
LED #6 flashing – VOLTAGE RETENTION TEST
A test is conducted to determine the serviceability of the battery. The open circuit voltage (OCV) of a battery is directly proportional to its State Of Charge percentage (SOC%) after it has been allowed to settle/cool for 30 minutes or more. Immediately following charging a battery will briefly hold a higher voltage, as charging raises the temperature and activity level of chemical elements within the battery. A settlement/cooling period is required to attain a more accurate the State Of Charge.
STEPS 9, 10, and 11 are the same for Pb (lead-acid) and LFP ( LiFePO4), but the open circuit voltage (OCV) recorded during the test is different; LFP ( LiFePO4) holds a higher OCV voltage after charging.
STEP 9 – Delivery of current to the battery is interrupted to allow the program to determine the battery’s ability to retain the charge it has received.
LED #6 (green) will continue flashing for batteries able to hold 90% or higher state of charge (SOC%), otherwise, the TEST result is adjusted lower (LED #7, LED #8) in real-time according to the measured battery voltage.
The test concludes when the TEST LEDs #6, #7, or #8 turn full on.
Result explained – see tables below.
80% to 100% – Expected of a new battery; the battery is ready to be used. No further charging is required, but if left connected the program continues to STEP 10 for a final cell balancing charge.
60 to 80% – The battery may have lost capacity, but is still serviceable. Leave connected to proceed to STEP 10.
Less than 60% – The battery may be unserviceable. Testing continues for an additional 11 1/2 hours, to allow the battery more time to cool/settle. If the result improves to 60% charging may continue to STEP 10, otherwise charging is suspended. Read NOTES below.

Pb (lead-acid) test result:
IMPORTANT – STD (wet-cell) batteries hold a lower open circuit voltage than AGM/VRLA batteries.

NOTES: A battery charged in a high ambient temperature environment (30-45°C/86-113°F), or a battery recovered from a deeply discharged state may need longer to cool/settle to better reflect its true state of charge (SOC%).
A battery charged and tested below 0°C/32°F or above 45°C/113°F may not have received a complete charge, resulting in a lower State Of Charge result.

ERROR! LED #8 blinking rapidly – ERROR!

Charging has been suspended:

1. if the ambient temperature is below -20°C/-4°F or above 55°C / 131°F, indicated by the selected mode LED (Pb / LFP) blinking together with LED #8.
   Corrective action: When the temperature is back within range the selected mode LED will stop blinking and turn full on. Press and release the pushbutton to cancel the error (LED #8) for charging to continue.

2. during SAVE mode or the Voltage Retention Test. The battery may have suffered fatal damage and may be unserviceable.
   Corrective action: Thoroughly inspect the battery; refer to Section A. Preparing to charge, Very flat neglected batteries. If damage is suspected, disconnect the battery and do not charge further. Otherwise, press and release the pushbutton to cancel the error (LED #8) for charging to continue. IMPORTANT: If the Error repeats, DO NOT CHARGE AGAIN! LED #6 or #6/7 – FINAL CHARGE
   STEP 10 – The ampmatic™ current control program now delivers pulses of current up to a voltage of 14.4V, to equalize the individual cells within the battery and optimizes charge level. Charge time is 2h / 120 minutes.
   STEP 11 – the MAINTENANCE CHARGE CYCLE consists of 30-minute charge periods followed by and alternating with a 30-minute ‘rest’ period, during which there is no charge current. During the 30-minute charge cycles, the current is delivered only if the battery has lost charge as compared to the TEST result in STEP 9.

3. START – SUPPLY
   The Supply mode provides a stable voltage of 13.6V to the motorcycle battery with up to 8A currently available, to prevent the battery from losing charge during diagnosis/troubleshooting and/or when vehicle circuitry is operated without the engine running.
   The Supply mode compensates for voltage loss to ensure the diagnostic equipment is able to operate without interruption. However, only the resistance of the OptiMate’s output cable and the O-14 connection accessory is compensated for. Connect the OptiMate directly to the battery to avoid additional voltage loss.
   The Supply mode is protected against reverse polarity connection, and excessive current draw, and warns when it is unable to continue delivering power to a low voltage battery (below 11V).

IMPORTANT: The battery should be charged before using the Supply mode as diagnostic support.
A sufficiently charged battery should retain:
Standard ‘wet cell’ battery – 12.4V or higher.
Sealed AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery – 12.6V or higher.
Lithium (LiFePO4) battery – 13.2V or higher.
a) Turn off AC power to the charger with rocker switch SW1. b) Connect the battery as described in section B.
CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY. c) Turn on AC power with rocker switch SW1.
WARNING: If LED #1a and 1b are blinking together the battery is connected in reverse polarity. Return to a). d) The Su (LED #2) indicator will be on together with Pb (LED #1a) and LFP (LED #1b) selection indicators.

To select Su, press and release three times. Only the Su (LED #2) will now indicate. If the connected battery’s voltage is 11V or higher LEDs #6, #7 and

8 will turn on, indicating the supply mode is active.

LED #6, #7, #8 = voltage at 13.6V, current draw below 8 Amps.
LED #7 & #8 = voltage between 12V & 13V, current draw is at maximum.
LED #8 = voltage between 11V & 12V, current draw is at maximum.
LED #8 blinking = voltage below 11V. The Supply mode will be interrupted if the voltage has not risen above 11V within 2 minutes, or immediately interrupted if the voltage has dropped below 9V.
LED #2 SU blinking (& LED #6, #7 & #8 off) – Indicates that a fault condition such as the reverse connected battery, a short circuit or overload was detected, or AC power was interrupted during Su mode. If necessary correct the fault condition, then push and release the pushbutton. Output is restored when LED #2 (Su) turns full on together with LEDs #6, 7 & 8.
WARNING: Supply mode (13.6V) remains active even if disconnected from the battery. Do not touch clips together. To turn off Supply (Su) mode, turn off AC power to the charger with rocker switch SW1.
