- TecMate OptiMate Solar Ideal for 12V lead-acid batteries including AGM (MF), Standard, GEL and AGM spiral cell Program control 4 stages, fully automatic Charge time limit, safe to leave connected for seasonal maintenance Maintain / test cycles: Keeps battery at 100% charged when not in use Enclosure fully sealed (IP54) Cable length 2m from panel to charger; 1m from charger to output connector. Included accessories: 01 weatherproof permanent lead; 04 battery clamp lead Operation temperature range: From -20¼C <-> 40¡C Ratings / approvals: CE, NRTL (UL & CSA), SAA (AU & NZ) Warranty: 3 Years The new OptiMate Solar range features a smart charger-monitor which provides battery status information when charging and when the battery is at rest overnight. The OptiMate Solar TM-522 2 Amp smart charger-controller has a 4-LED panel for comprehensive information on charge progress and battery status. OptiMate Solar charge kits are fully automatic. Mount the panel in a suitable location to receive maximum sunlight, hook up the charger-monitor to the battery and walk away. No more battery problems. When the panel receives sun, the SOLAR CHARGE LED blinks confirming solar power is being delivered and one of the three battery status LEDs (SAVE, CHARGE, MAINTAIN) indicates charge progress. OptiMate Solar converts low solar energy to a high pulse charge which improves solar charge efficiency. When night falls or if the smart charger-monitor senses no solar power is being delivered it changes into a battery monitor with one of the three charge status lights now indicating battery status every three seconds. The weatherproof solar panel includes corner mounts for easy wall or roof mounting. Each kit includes a high intensity poly crystalline panel with a 2m power cable, an OptiMate O-1 weatherproof battery lead, an OptiMate O-4 battery clamp lead and the outdoor rated OptiMate smart charger-controller (TM-522) with a 1m charge cable.

Our most recent scan found TecMate OptiMate Solar at the lowest price available from SportsBikeShop, at just £104.99. Which to give you a quick indication, is a really good price.
However, it’s worth exploring the price in more depth to get a real feel for the price. In order to do that we have taken the price of all products in the Maintenance category, Battery Chargers category and , of which there are 42 products, then to give you the average price we’ve totalled them to work out an average. We found that the average price was £50.95 in those categories.
