Limited Warranty - Tecmate Optimate lithium TM270 Anwendungsvorschriften

NOTE: A sudden load being switched on while the charger is connected can cause the battery voltage to
reduce significantly and test result to worsen.
2. TEST LED #8 (red) flashing rapidly - Charging is suspended.
If it occured during -
a) a BMS reset: The battery has suffered damage (internal short circuit) or the connected circuitry is not allowing
the BMS pulse to be delivered to the battery.
b) STEP 3 - Preparing to charge - The charger cannot deliver current as the ambient temperature may be out of
safe charging range for the battery. See page 2 for temperature (°C/°F) and corresponding Ampére (A) values.
c) STEP 4 SAVE mode: The charger has sensed that the battery is not accepting charge as expected. Try once
more and if the result repeats, do not charge again! A professional assessment is required.
d) STEP 9: STATE OF HEALTH TEST - the voltage reduced below 12.8V (16V: 16V) within the first 30 minutes,
indicating the battery cannot hold charge and may be damaged. A professional assessment is required.

MAINTAINING A LITHIUM BATTERY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS: A LiFePO battery can be left connected to the
4
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.
