OptiMate Solar - the world’s most efficient Solar Pulse Charger, Tester & Maintainer for both lead acid AND lithium batteries.
Charger by day, monitor by night.
The new OptiMate Solar range features a smart charger-monitor which automatically adjusts the charge according to the battery type and condition. Battery status information is provided while charging and when the battery is at rest overnight. The OptiMate Solar TM522-D2 2 amp smart charger controller has a 5 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 four 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 20W TM522-D2 kit (12V 1.6A max.) is ideal for all powersports vehicles. 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 (TM522-D2) with a 1m charge cable.

My garage has no electricity so solar was my only option, I am well pleased with this product, It does a really good job of keeping my motor cycle battery charged up, especially with the bike having an alarm which drains the battery over time if not regularly charged up. With a trickle charge from the solar duo it keeps it topped up.
Bought this as no power in garage, only just fitted it but appears a good investment. Good advice from Optimate and bought a 20w for the Harley, so far so good. Expensive, but appears well made, and seems to be working well. Much easier/safer than running extension leads.
I have been using this 20W Solar Charger for four years. I keep it connected to my bike and only disconnect when I go for a ride. Throughout the winters the battery remains at optimum charge even though the bike is only started once every month. Worth the money.
