MAINTAINING A LITHIUM BATTERY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS: A LiFePO
4
battery can be left connected to the OptiMate
Lithium for any extended period of time. The OptiMate Lithium maintenance program is fully automatic, it continuously monitors the
battery voltage and delivers current only if it sensed the battery has lost charge (possibly through connected vehicle or other circuitry
or self discharge). The OptiMate Lithium's maintenance program guarantees the battery will remain at or close to full charge, but
never overcharged.
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.
