With several new features, including an instant battery condition test, redesigned professional quality clamp leads and an innovative special low voltage pulse recovery function, plus unique keyless CAN-bus connectivity. As ever, OptiMate is at the forefront of technology; since 2004 most BMW motorcycles have been fitted with CAN-bus controlled 12V accessory sockets. The battery management system on these bikes controls the socket, disconnecting it a short time after the ignition is turned off.
OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM is uniquely able to open the socket, charging, testing and maintaining the battery automatically. Safe to use with all types of lead-acid batteries – including Maintenance Free and GEL varieties - OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM has a tough, splash-proof case; ideal for use in garages, sheds, workshops and other demanding environments. OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM will automatically test, diagnose, charge and maintain the battery for months.
OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM is available from all good motorcycle dealers at the recommended retail price of £59.99 inc VAT.

Since its launch in 1995, the OptiMate range has become the user-friendly way to test, charge and maintain motorcycle batteries, so much so that OptiMate has entered the rider's vocabulary as the generic word for this type of device. OptiMate4 DUAL PROGRAM is the latest generation, offering riders a choice of programmes designed for both regular wiring looms and the latest CAN-bus systems too. OptiMate 4 DUAL PROGRAM features all the proven functions that earned OptiMate the recommendation of virtually every major motorcycle manufacturer.
