Immediately following connection to a battery there may be a 1-2 second delay
before charging progresses, during which time battery State Of Charge (SOC %) and
Preparing
ambient temperature (°C / °F) is measured to determine charge requirement and duration
to charge

OptiMate 6 automatically activates and will proceed to STEP 3 if
connected battery voltage is at least 0.5 Volt.
If AC power is interrupted while the battery remains connected the
charge program will restart from STEP 3.

REVERSE POLARITY / incorrect battery connection: The charger
is electronically protected so no damage will result, and the output
will remain disabled until the connections are corrected.
Following correction charging automatically activates and will
proceed to STEP 3.
The battery SAVE mode engages if the battery is less than 50%
charged OR voltage is between 0.5 to 12.4 Volt. Charge time:
15min to 2hrs.
TURBO SAVE : The battery was diagnosed as sulphated, unable
to accept or hold charge - Current is limited to 0.4A and voltage
is allowed to rise towards 16V to check for active vehicle
electronics, if detected, STEP 5 immediately engages. Otherwise
voltage may briefly rise as high as 22V to overcome sulphation
within the battery.
IMPORTANT: Read section VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES
below.
With voltage limited to 14.4V current is delivered in pulses to
prepare the battery to accept normal charge and increase its state
of charge towards 50%.
Engages if the battery state of charge is 50% or higher or once
the battery has been sufficiently recovered during STEP 5.
The ampmatic™ charge current monitoring and control
program automatically determines the most efficient rate of charge
current for the connected battery, according to its state of charge,
state of health, and electrical storage capacity.
Engages when the voltage has reached 14.4V for the first time
during STEP 6.
The ampmatic™ current control program now delivers pulses
of current to equalise the individual cells within the battery and
optimize charge level.
Charge time during this step varies between 10 and 120 minutes,
influenced by initial battery State Of Charge and health as
measured in STEP 3, and current draw by connected circuitry.
For safety reasons there is an overall charge time limit of 72
hours for STEPS 4 to 7.
