Automotive Chargers
The Best Car Battery Charger
The OptiMate High Performance Battery Charger lineup has the perfect battery charger for every car fitted with either a Pb (lead-acid) battery or an advanced & lighter LiFePO4 (Lithium LFP) starter battery. EV vehicles (Tesla, Porsche Taycan, Hyundai IONIQ/KONA etc.) also have a 12V auxiliary battery (Pb or LFP) that requires charging & maintenance when the vehicle is stored and the main battery is not under charge, or if the main battery is charged at low power.
All OptiMate battery chargers share three features:
Green power technology with 50% or less electricity used (compared to our competitors) to charge a battery.
Automatic ‘connect and forget’ operation after making connection to the battery.
A unique and proven ‘no supervision required’ 24-7 maintenance program that monitors the battery and delivers only needed charge to keep it healthy, guaranteeing longer battery life and more battery power. OptiMate battery chargers can be left connected for many months at a time.
Some of the advanced models have special features, including:
Ampmatic – standard in all chargers that deliver 6 Amps and higher; charge current is automatically adapted to match battery size and condition – a smaller battery gets less, a larger battery gets more.
Temperature regulation – OptiMate 6 and 7 series for lead-acid batteries adjust charge voltage match ambient temperature – higher when colder, lower when hotter. OptiMate Lithium battery chargers protects lithium batteries sensitive to extreme temperatures, by reducing charge current below 0°C (32°F) and above 45°C (113°F) and interrupting charge below -20°C (-4°F) & above 55°C (131°F).
Powersupply / TUNE mode – Stable 13.6V power that provide the best environment to troubleshoot an electrical fault, upload a new ignition map or set up electronic modes and personal vehicle settings, without fear that the battery may run flat when the engine is not running.
OptiMate has categorized their battery chargers into 5 SERIES that make it easy for you to choose the right charger for your vehicle.
Automotive Gold Series
The ultimate tool for vehicle battery care, the Gold Series car battery charger series is packed with the most advanced OptiMate technology & programs that matches a premium battery’s specific charge requirement.
Select the right charge program for your battery (only once, selection remains in memory even if power fails), connect to the battery and the rest is fully automatic. Your Gold series charger’s advanced program includes a two-step desulphation save mode, a temperature regulated Ampmatic program that optimizes charge exactly to the battery’s requirement, advanced state of health testing followed by OptiMate’s unique and 100% safe 24-7 maintenance.
Gold series chargers charge a variety of lead-acid batteries types including STD, GEL, AGM, EFB, Spiral cell, Premium AGM & Deep Cycle.
Automotive Silver Series
With smarter battery saving and charge control technology, the Silver Series car battery chargers are ideal for the vehicle owner that may need to recover a ‘deadflat’ battery and then test its state of health. The more powerful Silver Series chargers include AMPMATIC technology that varies charge current to match battery size and condition.
Silver Series chargers are rated for a variety of lead-acid batteries types including STD, GEL, AGM, EFB, Spiral cell, Premium AGM & Deep Cycle.
Automotive Bronze Series
Easy to use and fully automatic, the Bronze Series only requires basic knowledge of connecting to the battery, once connected the charger automatically charges and then maintains your vehicle battery.
Bronze Series chargers are rated for starter lead-acid batteries types including STD, GEL, AGM and EFB, with the DUO models rated for Lithium LFP (LiFePO4) batteries as well.
Automotive Lithium Series
When your high-performance car is fitted with a 12.8V / 13.2V Lithium LiFePO4 starter or auxiliary battery, OptiMate’s Lithium Series car battery charger is the ‘expert’ choice that guarantees your powerful Lithium battery will be correctly & safely charged & maintained.
OptiMate has been leading the industry of Lithium starter battery knowledge since its inception (2007-2008) focusing on Lithium battery care and longevity with the latest technology. A Lithium battery requires a charge program that is completely the opposite of a lead-acid battery when deep discharged, it needs to be delicately and precisely brought up to its normal voltage range before it can accept high current again.
OptiMate Lithium series chargers include Ampmatic current adjusting technology, low voltage pulse recovery from 0.5V, state of health testing, temperature compensation and active BMS (battery management system) reset for advanced Lithium batteries that have a built-in protection system for deep discharge or over charge.

Automotive Off-Grid Series
The Off-Grid series delivers power to your 12V battery anywhere! OptiMate’s smart solar controller delivered with each panel is available in DUO (lead-acid and Lithium) up to 40 Watts and Lead-acid only in 60 Watts and 80 Watts!
SMART technology within the controller converts low solar energy into efficient pulses to deliver a better charge, and at night it will continue to monitor the battery and display state of charge level. OptiMate Solar chargers can SAVE your deep discharged battery from as low as 4V and is SAFE to leave connected 24-7!
