FAQ – OptiMate 1 Duo
Will it work for both my car and motorcycle?
It is intended for motorcycles, ATVs, ride-on mowers, and similar vehicles (2–20Ah battery)—for cars, check the Ah rating first. Larger automotive batteries may require a more powerful unit such as OptiMate 2 Duo - 2Amp (if your goal is maintenance) or OptiMate 6 - 6Amp if you prefer a faster charge.
Can it recover a completely flat or deeply discharged battery?
The low volt start works from 4V, so most deeply discharged batteries can be recovered, provided they are not damaged or sulphated beyond repair.
Can I install the battery lead and leave it on permanently?
Yes. The included fused battery lead is designed for permanent installation for easy plug-and-play charging.
Is installation complicated?
No, it's very straightforward: two options for connection, clear instructions, and color-coded connectors.
Will it damage my electronics?
No. Fully protected, spark suppressed, and safe for all vehicle electronics—even for months of continuous use.
Does it work outdoors?
The unit is dustproof and water resistant, suitable for sheltered outdoor or garage locations; not for open/wet outdoor exposure (IP50).
Summary
With proven safety, adaptive charging intelligence, and the flexibility to handle both lithium and lead-acid batteries, the TecMate OptiMate 1 Duo is a perfect "set and forget" charger for motorcycle enthusiasts, small vehicle owners, and anyone looking to prolong battery life and avoid dead batteries in seasonal storage. Its wide compatibility, easy installation, and 3-year warranty add value for both new and experienced users.
