12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge,always remove grounded terminal from battery first.
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while 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 eyes.
d) 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) or absorbed glass mat (AGM)
batteries, carefully follow 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 voltage of battery by referring to vehicle or other user’s manual and BEFORE MAKING THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS,
MAKE SURE TH AT 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 batterv being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage the charger. c) Never allow battery
acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
d) Do not set a battery on top of charger. IMPORTANT : Place charger on a hard flat surface or mount 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 setting any charger switches to off position and removing AC cord from electric
outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other, however should this happen no damage will result to the charger circuit & the automatic
charging programme 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. Set charger switches to off position and/or remove AC cord from electrical outlet, disconnect the battery clips, then
reconnect correctly according to the instructions below.
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK
NEAR A BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A
SPARK NEAR BATTERY :
a) Position AC and DC cords so as to reduce risk of damage by 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 polarity of battery posts.POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most
vehicles),see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis,see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, + ) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG. N , -) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord,remove clip from vehicle chassis,and then remove clip from
battery terminal.
h) See operating instructions for length of charge information.
16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR BATTERY :
a) Check 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 allow charge current unless a voltage of at least 2V is sensed.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
d) Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to 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 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.

AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC CHARGER FOR 12.8V LiFePO4 (LITHIUM IRON
PHOSPHATE ) BATTERIES FROM 2.5Ah TO 30Ah:
Input: 100-240V maximum 0,23A. The maximum output current is 0,8A.
SAFETY WARNING AND NOTES: IF YOU HAVE NOT YET DONE SO, READ
THE PRECEDING PAGES LABELLED "IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" BEFORE OPERATING THIS CHARGER.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
USING THE OPTIMATE LITHIUM 0.8A
CORRECT USE:
Use the charger only if the input and output leads and connectors are in good, undamaged condition. If the input cable is
damaged, it is essential to have it replaced without delay by the manufacturer, his authorised service agent or a qualified workshop, to avoid
danger. Protect your charger from damp and humid conditions both during use and in storage. Damage resulting from corrosion, oxidation or
internal electrical short-circuiting is not covered by warranty. Distance the charger from the battery during charging to avoid contamination
by or exposure to acid or acidic vapours. If using it in the horizontal orientation, place the charger on a hard, flat surface, but NOT on plastic,
textile or leather. Use the fixing holes provided in the enclosure base to attach the charger to any convenient, sound vertical surface.
EXPOSURE TO LIQUIDS: This charger is designed to withstand exposure to liquids accidentally spilled or splashed onto the casing
from above, or to light rainfall. Prolonged exposure to falling rain is inadvisable and longer service life will be obtained by minimizing such
exposure.Failure of the charger due to oxidation resulting from the eventual penetration of liquid into the electronic components, connectors
or plugs,is not covered by warranty.
VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES: Pay particularly close attention to the following A LiFePO
4
battery left deep-discharged
for an extended period may develop permanent damage in one or more cells. Such batteries may heat up excessively during charging.
During the SAVE mode the program limits charge current if the voltage is below 12.8V and the program should detect obvious cell damage
and will automatically suspend charging, but the higher the cell count in parallel the more difficult it is to detect a bad cell e.g. a 5Ah battery
typically has 4 series connected sets of 2 parallel cells (4S2P configuration - total 8 cells), a 10Ah battery has 4 series connected sets of 4
parallel cells (4S4P configuration - total 16 cells).
ALWAYS monitor the battery temperature during the first hour, then hourly there-after. 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:
For batteries rated from 2.5Ah to 5Ah: 180 to 360 minutes to progress to the voltage retention test.
For batteries rated above 5Ah: 125% of the battery’s Ah rating, so a 30Ah battery should take no more than about 38 hours to progress to
the voltage retention test.
Deep-discharged batteries may take significantly longer. A full charge may not be achieved within the 24 hour charge safety limit. In this
case follow the reset procedure below.
RESETTING THE CHARGE & TEST CYCLE
Disconnect from the AC mains. Wait for the POWER ON LED #1 to go out. Upon reconnection to AC power LEDs #3, 4, 5 and 6 will flash
twice to confirm micro processor health, irrespective if the charger remains connected to a battery or not.
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 (per charging bank), 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 0.024 kWh or less per day.
SAFETY
6
PROCEEDING TO CHARGE
The LED indicators below are sequenced as they may come on through the course of the program.
POWER ON: LED #1 - Confirms AC power supply to the charger.
HIGH and LOW intensity indication: The"POWER ON" LED #1 will indicate brightly when current is delivered to the battery.
The "POWER ON" LED #1 will reduce intensity to a low level to indicate low power "ECO" mode. This will occur if there is no battery
connected, or when a battery is connected and the program finds itself in the voltage retention test mode or the 'rest' periods of
Maintenance Charge mode.
REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: LED #2 - Lights when the battery connections are incorrect. The charger is electronically protected so
no damage will result, and the output will remain disabled until the connections are corrected.
LED #3 SAVE lights If the battery is extremely flat (deep-discharged),
IMPORTANT: If this mode engages read the section VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES .
This mode engages if the battery was more than 90% discharged / voltage is below 12.8V. Charge current is automatically adjusted
according to voltage measured .
VERY LOW VOLTAGE SAVE for batteries between 0.6V and 8.8V: Current starts at 200mA and will increase to 325mA depending on charge
progress. If the voltage did not rise above 8.8V within 2 hours, charging will be suspended and the TEST LED #6 (red) will flash, indicating
the battery may have suffered permanent damage or a professional assessment is required.
LOW VOLTAGE SAVE for batteries between 8.9V and 12.8V: Maximum current is set to 0.8A. The battery's charge acceptance is monitored
for unusual behaviour. A healthy LiFePO4 battery will progress to CHARGE mode within 4 hours, otherwise charging will be suspended and
TEST LED #6 (red) will flash, indicating the battery may have suffered permanent damage or a professional assessment is required.
LED #4 Charge and charge verification
CHARGE: The BULK CHARGE stage delivers a constant current of about 0,8 Amps maximum into the battery, up to a voltage of 14,2 -14,4V.
VERIFICATION: The circuit verifies battery charge level.
If the battery requires further charging the programme reverts to BULK CHARGE for brief periods, delivering a variable current pulse to the
battery. These reversions may occur as many times as is necessary to reduce the battery’s current demand below 200mA at 13,6V (which is
consistent with a battery that has accepted as much charge as its basic condition allows). (see expected Charging time.)
NOTE: For safety reasons there is an overall charge time limit of 48 hours.
VOLTAGE RETENTION TEST: LED #5 flashing
Delivery of current to the battery is interrupted for 12 hours* to allow the program to determine the battery's ability to retain charge. For batteries
with a good state of health LED #5 (green) should continue to flash for the full 12 hours* period. Read the section NOTES ON TEST RESULTS on
reasons for poor test results or how to test a battery that returns a good result but cannot deliver sufficient power once it is returned to service.
MAINTENANCE CHARGE: LED #5 / 6 steady on
For 30 minutes the circuit offers current to the battery within a safe 13,6V voltage limit whilst the result of the voltage retention test is
displayed. If LED #6 (red) indicated the VOLTAGE RETENTION TEST will be repeated. A steady LED #5 (green) indicate the 30 minute float
charge maintenance periods follow and alternate wih the 30 minute REST (no charging) periods until the battery is disconnected. The battery
can draw current as required to support small loads and counter self-discharge.

NOTES ON TEST RESULTS:
1. For any test result other than green #5, disconnect the battery from the electrical system it supports, and reconnect the OptiMate. If a
better test result is now obtained, this suggests that the power losses are partly due to an electrical problem in the electrical system and not
in the battery itself. If the poor result persists, you are advised to take the battery to a professional service workshop equipped with
professional equipment for a more thorough investigation.
2. If the red LED #6 alone, or the GREEN #5 and red LED #6 indicate together, a significant problem exists. The green + red LEDs mean that
after being charged the battery’s voltage is not being sustained or that despite recovery attempts the battery was irrecoverable. This may be
due to a defect in the battery itself, such as a short-circuited cell or total sulphation, or, in the case of a battery still connected to the
electrical system it supports, the red LED #6 may be signalling a loss of current through deteriorated wiring or a degraded switch or contact,
or in-circuit current-consuming accessories. A sudden load being switched on while the charger is connected can also cause the battery
voltage to dip significantly.
3. GOOD TEST RESULT, but the battery cannot deliver sufficient power: Permanent damage within the battery may be causing excessive
self discharge that is not detected within the test period of 12 hours. Disconnect the battery from the OptiMate.
AUTOMATIC BATTERY MAINTENANCE: The MAINTENANCE CHARGE CYCLE consists of 30 minute charge periods followed by
and alternating with a 30 minute ‘rest’ periods, during which there is no charge current. The circuit offers current to the battery within a safe
13.6V voltage limit (“float charge”), allowing it to draw whatever small current is necessary to sustain it at full charge and compensate for
any small electrical loads imposed by connected circuitry, or the natural gradual self-discharge of the battery itself.
The BATTERY REFRESH CYCLE is performed if the charger detects the battery has lost charge. The program returns to OPTIMIZE mode (LED
#4) and then proceeds to the voltage retention test and maintenance charge cycle.

AVERTISSEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ ET REMARQUES : SI VOUS NE L'AVEZ PAS
DÉJÀ FAIT, LISEZ LES PAGES QUI PRÉCÈDENT INTITULÉES «INSTRUCTIONS
DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES» AVANT D'UTILISER CE CHARGEUR.
Cet appareil n'est pas destiné à être utilisé par des personnes (y compris des enfants) possédant
des capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites, ou manquant d'expérience et de
connaissance, sauf si elles bénéficient d'une surveillance ou ont reçu des instructions concernant
l'utilisation de l'appareil d'une personne responsable de leur sécurité. Les enfants doivent faire
l'objet d'une surveillance pour s'assurer qu'ils ne jouent pas avec l'appareil.
UTILISATION D’OPTIMATE LITHIUM 0,8A
UTILISATION CORRECTE : utilisez le chargeur uniquement si les broches de raccordement et les connecteurs d'entrée et de sortie
sont en parfait état. Si le câble d'entrée est endommagé, il est essentiel que vous le fassiez remplacer au plus vite par le fabricant, son
technicien agréé ou un atelier qualifié, pour éviter tout danger. Protégez votre chargeur de l'humidité, qu'il soit en fonctionnement ou rangé.
La garantie ne couvre pas les dommages résultant de la corrosion, de l'oxydation ou d'un court-circuit électrique interne.
Éloignez le chargeur de la batterie pendant la charge pour éviter toute contamination par ou toute exposition à des acides ou des vapeurs
acides. Si vous l'utilisez en position horizontale, placez le chargeur sur une surface plane et dure, mais PAS sur du plastique, du textile ou
du cuir. Utilisez les trous de fixation situés dans la base du boîtier pour fixer le chargeur à toute surface verticale solide et pratique.
EXPOSITION À DES LIQUIDES: ce chargeur est conçu pour résister à une exposition à des liquides ayant éclaboussé ou ayant été
accidentellement renversés sur le boîtier par le dessus, ou à une pluie légère. Une exposition prolongée à une pluie forte est déconseillée
afin de prolonger la durée de vie de l'équipement. Une panne du chargeur due à une oxydation résultant de l'éventuelle pénétration d'un
liquide corrosif dans les composants électroniques, les connecteurs ou les prises ne sera pas couverte par la garantie
BATTERIES DÉGRADÉES TRÈS FAIBLES : soyez particulièrement vigilant : Une batterie LiFePO4 laissée complètement
déchargée pendant une période prolongée risque de développer des dommages permanents dans une ou plusieurs cellule(s). Ces batteries
peuvent atteindre une température excessivement élevée au cours de la charge. En mode save, le programme limite le courant de charge
si la tension est inférieure à 12,8 v et le programme est conçu pour détecter un éventuel endommagement évident de cellule et suspendre
automatiquement la charge le cas échéant, mais plus il y a de cellules en parallèle, plus il est difficile de détecter une mauvaise cellule. En
effet, une batterie de 5 ah présente ainsi par défaut 4 rangées connectées en séries de 2 cellules parallèles (configuration 4s2p - 8 cellules
au total), une batterie de 10 ah présente 4 rangées connectées en séries de 4 cellules parallèles (configuration 4s4p - 16 cellules au total).
Surveillez EN PERMANENCE la température de la batterie au cours de la première heure, puis une fois par heure. Si vous constatez à tout
moment que la batterie devient chaude au point de ne plus pouvoir la toucher à main nue ou si vous remarquez des signes inhabituels,
DÉBRANCHEZ LE CHARGEUR IMMÉDIATEMENT.
TEMPS DE CHARGE
Temps de charge pour une batterie déchargée mais en parfait état:
Pour les batteries d'une tension nominale comprise entre 2,5Ah et 5Ah : de 180 à 360 minutes pour effectuer le test de rétention de voltage.
Pour les batteries d'une tension nominale supérieure à 5Ah : 125% de la tension de la batterie; il faut donc au maximum environ 38
heures à une batterie de 30Ah pour effectuer le test de rétention de voltage.
Des batteries complètement déchargées peuvent nécessiter beaucoup plus de temps. Il est possible que la limite de charge de sécurité de 24
heures ne suffise pas pour une charge complète. Dans ce cas, suivez la procédure de réinitialisation ci-dessous.
RÉINITIALISATION DU CYCLE DE CHARGE ET TEST
Déconnectez la prise secteur CA. Attendez que la LED POWER ON #1 s'éteigne. Dès que le branchement se fait sur le CA, toutes les LED #3,
4, 5 et 6 clignotent deux fois pour confirmer le bon état du microprocesseur, indépendamment du fait que le chargeur soit resté connecté à
une batterie ou pas.
