Optimate 7 Select - 12V 10A, TM-251v3, 9-Step Gold Series Battery Saving Charger & maintainer

Currently maintaining the battery on my 2001 T/A . Easy to use and shows condition of battery.

This replaced an Optimate 3+ that I’ve owned and used for the past 11 years. Nothing at all wrong with the 3+! But I wanted a charger with a power supply mode, so I could use service functions and reflash the multiple modules without fear of the battery running out of power and potentially bricking one of the motorcycle’s modules. This Optimate Select 7 does the trick! With my Hex GS-911 I was able to reflash multiple modules on my K1600, customizing certain functions, and ran the ABS bleed service function and never had a low battery warning (like I usually do).

Product was packaged securely when received. Instructions were straightforward and easy to understand. Product setup and use was easy, and it worked flawlessly. Charger output cord has quick-change plug with two options for connecting to battery: terminal clamps AND ring connectors. I bolted the section with ring connectors directly to my battery cables and left it in the engine bay for quickly connecting the charger when needed. Also includes handy wall mount and a cord hook for hanging under the hood. Absolutely thrilled with this product.

I'm glad I finally invested in a quality battery charger to replace decades of using a cheap maintainer (Battery Tender Jr.) and a walmart battery charger (Schumacher 6-amp), the Optimate 7 was exactly the upgrade I needed. Being a full-featured 7 amp charger, I was skeptical that it would make sense to use as a maintainer, especially on a small motorcycle battery, so I monitored both its power use at the wall using a Kill-a-Watt EZ, and its voltage output at the battery using a multimeter. Interestingly, once it goes into maintenance mode, it uses almost no power most of the time, reading 0.0W at the wall, by contrast, the Battery Tender Jr. reads a few watts any time it's plugged in, even if not connected to a battery. For the price it seems like there should be a more informative readout on it, like an LCD that tells you exactly what it's doing in plain English, but the LED light method is effective once you decode what each combination means, and it's likely for more bulletproof for anyone preferring to buy it for life. Don't be tempted by cheap junk like Noco that offer a lot of features but fail after a year or two, and may not be delivering as "smart" a charge as they promise.

Want a charger&maintainer you can connect for a total worry free experience, this is the one.

Saved me a battery for years. Helps recover battery. Can only recommend.

I've used all the ctek and other comparable with this one being the top. It reconditioned my mercedes sprinter van and my ducati xdiavel motorcycle. Fast efficiency and ease of use. I spent 2 months reading reviews before buying

The best battery charger i have ever used.
