Battery Facts of Life

How to Make Your Battery Last Longest

Keep your battery 100% charged at all times and never allow it to go flat.

Why Batteries Fail

People are forgetful! They forget to hook up their maintenance charger when parking the bike. The result? The battery goes flat and eventually dies.

What Happens When a Battery Discharges?

As a battery discharges, the acid separates into water and sulfates:

• Water freezes and expands - This could buckle the plates or even crack the casing
• Sulfates are attracted to lead - The longer you leave it, the greater the build-up of sulfation on the plates until the battery cannot accept a normal charge

The OptiMate Solution

Some ordinary smart chargers now 'pretend' to 'eliminate' sulfation. They rely on you to keep the charger hooked up! Fact is: they cannot truly 'reverse' sulfation!

The only charger with 22V recovery voltage (as recommended by Yuasa) that can reverse sulfation buildup in a 'good' battery (no mechanical damage) and get it to accept charge again is OptiMate.

Protect your investment with the right battery maintenance solution.
