Optimate TM-275 v2 10 amp Battery Charger/Maintainer/Power Supply (12-13.2V Batteries)

This Optimate Lithium charger will quickly charge your battery at 10 amps, maintain it at the optimal voltage, and can be used as a power source of 8 continuous amps! For example, you can use it as power supply while programming your aircraft EFIS so you are not draining your battery while you work.

Features:

• CHARGER
• MAINTAINER
• POWER SUPPLY (8 amps at 13.6V by pressing TUNE Button)

What’s included:

• 1 x TM-275 v2 charger/maintainer/power supply
• 1 x battery alligator clips
• 1 x waterproof quick connect lead with ringlets and SAE connector

High efficiency diagnostic Optimate lithium battery charger and tester for LiFePO4 / LFP batteries.

Perfect for charging of a high performance 12.8V-13.2V LiFePO4 / LFP battery sized from 2.5 to 120 Amp-hour.

Special features: 

• TUNE mode delivers stable power for vehicle system reprogramming, show room vehicle demo or retaining memorized settings when battery cables are disconnected to fit powered accessories or replace the battery.
• BMS reset, pushbutton activated – for batteries with resettable low voltage / deep discharge protection.
• Battery SAVE mode with BMS reset : starts from 0.5V with continuous monitoring / testing of charge acceptance or bad / shorted cell condition. Unnecessary (and unsafe) charging of a bad battery is prevented.
• safeTº : Automatic charge rate adjustment to ambient temperature sensed at the charger. Reduced charging below freezing, no charging if temperature is below -20ºC/-4ºF (can damage lithium batteries).
• Ampmatic : Microprocessor adjusts current to ideal LiFePO4 charge curve to match battery size / condition, for fastest and most complete charge.

SAVE : Low Volt Start of 0.5V + 3-step low volt SAVE and TEST

Charging Versatility With EarthX Batteries

EarthX Batteries use an intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) to balance the batteries as they charge. This capability is a major benefit to users because a specialty charger isn’t required for your EarthX Batteries to perform.

The BMS uses a microprocessor that monitors the cells to keep them in an optimal state to insure performance and longevity. The system also protects the battery as it functions. With the BMS, charging practices are important but not critical to battery performance. The BMS handles many of the complexities of charging, so you don’t have to.

With the BMS ensuring balance, you can enjoy more flexibility in battery usage. Additionally, EarthX Batteries offer high discharge capacities and fast charging speeds.

Recommended Lithium Battery Chargers

As the owner of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery from EarthX, you may want to invest in a dedicated charger directly from our site. We offer several chargers for EarthX Batteries. Products we carry include:

With a “tune” feature that is a power source with 4 continuous amps of energy while you program your electronic flight instrument system or retune your car.
• Optimate TM-391 6 Amp Battery Charger/Maintainer/Power Supply(12-13.2V Batteries) – EarthX Batteries: This charger provides 6 amps of charging energy, 5 amps continuous as a power supply or  can also be used as a maintainer to keep your battery ready when you are. It has a weatherproof case for indoor and outdoor use.
• Optimate TM-275 10 Amp Battery Charger/Maintainer/Power Supply (12-13.2V Batteries) – EarthX Batteries Optimate TM-275 10 Amp Battery Charger/Maintainer/Power Supply (12-13.2V Batteries): Charge your battery at 10 amps. Also, use it as a 8 amp power source to save your battery for applications like programming an aircraft, or leave it connected to keep you battery topped off and ready as a maintainer.

Best Lithium Battery Charging Practices

All batteries wear down over time and lose capacity and cranking abilities. Both scenarios mean the battery will be less powerful over time. To maintain battery performance and extend it’s life, follow these charging practices:

• Follow minimum voltage requirements and keep batteries charged at this value or higher.
• Use a plug-in charger over a jump start whenever possible.
• Avoid leaving your battery discharged for any period of time.
