OptiMate Solar 20W, the smartest sun powered 24-7 maintainer for your motorcycle, car, pick up truck or boat’s 12V battery – Charger by day, monitor by night!

– Smart fully sealed charge controller converts solar power and delivers max. 1.66A in full sun OR power pulses in cloudy weather, to your 12V lead-acid (STD, AGM, GEL) starter or deep cycle battery.
– Controller’s ‘night’ monitor mode indicates battery’s state of charge on a 3 LED panel – Status of your battery is available night and day!
– Wide spectrum weatherproof polycrystalline panel with corner mounts – Works in any weather!
– Unique pulse save mode recovers ‘dead flat’ sulphated batteries from as low as 1V – The most advanced solar recovery program!
– OptiMate Solar smart pulse maintenance guarantees more battery power, longer battery life!

CHARGE
Saves flat batteries from as low as 1V with its unique pulse action.
Fastest charge is delivered as ‘smart charge’ control selects pulse or continuous charge according to sunlight strength.
Intelligent maintenance continues the next day if battery retained charge overnight, otherwise the program reverts to OPTIMIZE step.

MONITOR
Battery condition is displayed every 3 seconds. Ready indication for STD and hi-performance AGM batteries. Draws less than 0.5mA during monitor mode.
Automatically switches to CHARGE when solar power is sufficient.

MOUNTING
The OptiMate charger-monitor controller is separate to the solar panel and can be placed close to the vehicle or battery so that charge and maintenance progress can be easily followed. The solar panel must be mounted and angled to receive direct sunlight. The reach / distance between battery and panel is 3150 mm / 124″. To extend, use OptiMate Cable Extenders O-03, O-13 or O-23 and insert between the solar panel and the OptiMate charge-monitor controller.
