Yes, the OptiMate 4 Quad Program is compatible with the 2023 BMW R 1250 GS Adventure equipped with a lead-acid battery. You can use program 1 to charge the battery directly or program 2 to charge through the CAN-bus controlled 12V socket. Program 1 and 2 are specifically designed for lead-acid batteries (such as AGM). In the case of the new BMW R 1300 GS equipped with a lithium battery: Programs 3 and 4 are specially designed for lithium LFP batteries. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Well,, i thougt you have to connect the clamps to the battery first, SAE connector already connected to the optimate and than plug it in to the wall outlet? That is the first step in the optimate manual? So you can leave your optimate connected to the wall outlet and just plug the SEA connecters together without getting sparks?
Thanks for your comment! You're correct that the OptiMate manual suggests connecting the clamps and charger to the battery first, then plugging into the wall outlet. This is a safe approach and minimizes any chance of sparking. In our video, while we connected the charger to the battery while the charger was still connected to AC power, there is no risk of sparks in this case. This is because our chargers are designed with built-in safety features to prevent sparking when connecting or disconnecting from the battery while plugged into AC power. That said, for the safest practice, we typically recommend following this sequence: Install the cables (O-01 battery lead or O-04 battery clamps) onto the battery first. Connect the charger to the battery via the installed cable. Finally, connect the charger to AC power. Thanks again for watching, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
For your AGM battery on the Kymco AK550, we recommend using Program 1, which is designed for directly charging lead-acid (AGM) batteries. This will provide the best charging performance and long-term maintenance. To get the most out of your OptiMate 4 Quad Program, we suggest connecting directly to the battery using the OptiMate O-01 battery lead.
Yes, this also works on the CAN-bus system of the Ducati. On the Ducati, the CAN-bus system does not impose any restrictions on the battery during charging. The charger is compatible with both the CAN-bus system of your BMW and your Ducati.
@@OptiMate NO did not seem to work ? The optimate flashes all the charge LED's and waked up the bike ? Is looking for key ? If key is around and then turn off bike it still flashes all the LED's ?
Hi! OptiMate's philosophy is to make it as easy as possible for you and for everyone to easily understand the color code. LCDs also have no added value for the user, while our color code indicates how many Volts are left in the battery after charging.
You should be more precise with your terminology and stop adding to the "CAN-bus" popular misconception. The charger does NOT connect "via the CAN-bus system". The CAN-bus does data comms amongst the various controllers on the bike. It has nothing to do with charging or the accessory port.
