Funtzionamendu-argibideak
The Optimate Lithium 8s 5A operates automatically once connected. The 10-step program intelligently diagnoses, recovers, charges, and maintains your battery.
Kargatzeko prozesua:
- Hasieran: Upon connection, the charger performs a quick diagnostic check of the battery's state.
- Recovery (if needed): If the battery is deeply discharged (as low as 0 volts), the charger will attempt to recover it safely.
- Bulk karga: The charger delivers a controlled current to bring the battery to approximately 80% charge.
- Xurgapen karga: Liburukiatage is held constant while the current decreases, bringing the battery to full charge.
- Optimizazioa: A unique pulse charge ensures cell balancing and optimal performance.
- Mantentzea: Once fully charged, the charger enters a long-term maintenance mode, testing the battery hourly and delivering charge only when needed. This prevents overcharging and sulfation.

Adierazle argiak:
The charger features LED indicators to display the current charging status and battery health. Refer to the charger's label for a detailed legend of each light's meaning.
TUNE Mode:
To activate TUNE mode, press and hold the 'TUNE' button on the charger. This mode provides a stable power supply, ideal for tasks like ECU programming or updating vehicle software, preventing voltage drops that could disrupt sensitive electronics.

Mantentzea
The Optimate Lithium 8s 5A is designed for safe, interactive long-term maintenance. Once the battery is fully charged, the charger automatically switches to a float charge mode, testing the battery hourly and delivering charge only when necessary. This 'Connect and Forget' feature ensures your battery remains optimally charged and healthy without risk of overcharging.

Arazoak konpontzea
The Optimate Lithium 8s 5A is equipped with advanced features to address common battery issues.
Recovering 'Dead' or Flat Batteries:
If a LiFePO4 battery has discharged to a very low voltage (even as low as 0 volts), the Optimate charger can attempt to recover it. The charger will automatically initiate a low-voltage recovery sequence. If the battery has an integrated BMS that has shut down the battery, the charger can safely wake it up.
