Lithium-ion batteries are popular due to the fact they’re compact, lightweight and able to deliver high cold cranking amps (CCA), but also happen to be a lot more expensive than traditional lead-acid units. They’re often claimed to require no long-term maintenance charging, but if they’re connected to a bike they’ll be getting the same drainage as any other battery unit.
As they can cost twice as much as a lead-acid battery, the fully automated Optimate Lithium will select the right charging program, prevent unnecessary charging and avoid over-discharge.
It can be used with all LiFePO4/LFP batteries and comes with crocodile clips and a weatherproof lead. It costs £109.99 including VAT. Visit https://www.tecmate-int.com for more info.
