Before connecting the charger, ensure the battery type matches the charger's capabilities (12V Lead-Acid or 12.8V LiFePO4). Select the appropriate connection method:
- So'oga sa'o maa:
- Faʻafesoʻotaʻi le mumu (+) clamp/ring terminal to the positive (+) battery terminal.
- Fa'afeso'ota'i le uliuli (-) clamp/ring terminal to the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Ia mautinoa o lo'o saogalemu so'oga.
- CAN-bus or Triumph 12V Socket Connection:
- Use the appropriate accessory cable (e.g., O-19 cable) to connect the charger to the vehicle's 12V socket.
- Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off before connecting.
Once connected to the battery/vehicle, plug the charger's AC power cord into a suitable wall outlet.

Fa'atonuga o Galuega
The OptiMate 4 Quad Program offers four distinct charging programs. The charger automatically detects the battery voltage and type (Lead-Acid or LiFePO4) and initiates the appropriate program. You can manually select programs for CAN-bus or direct charging.
Filifiliga Polokalama:
- Program 1 (Default): For 12V Lead-Acid batteries connected directly to the battery terminals.
- Polokalama 2: For 12V Lead-Acid batteries connected via a compatible BMW CAN-bus controlled 12V socket.
- Polokalama 3: For 12.8V LiFePO4 batteries connected directly to the battery terminals.
- Polokalama 4: For 12.8V LiFePO4 batteries connected via a compatible BMW CAN-bus controlled 12V socket or Triumph 12V live (hot) socket.
To switch programs, refer to the charger's interface or specific instructions on the device itself (often involves pressing a button or sequence). The charger will indicate the active program via LEDs.
9-Step Charging Process (General Overview):
The OptiMate 4 employs a sophisticated 9-step charging and maintenance process to optimize battery health and longevity:
- Uluai: Siaki maa voltage ma le polarity.
- Desulfation/Recovery: Recovers deeply discharged batteries (as low as 0.5V for lead-acid and lithium).
- Totogi tele: Delivers maximum current to bring the battery to approximately 80% charge.
- Totogi fa'asusu: Gradually reduces current to bring the battery to 100% charge.
- Voltage Retention Test: Mataitu maa voltage to assess its health.
- Charge Retention Test: Further tests the battery's ability to hold a charge.
- Maintenance Charge (Float): Maintains the battery at optimal voltage.
- Pulse Maintenance: Delivers small pulses to prevent self-discharge and sulfation during long-term storage.
- Battery Save Mode: Enters a low-power mode when the battery is fully charged and healthy.
LED indicators on the charger will display the current charging stagu ma tulaga maa.
