This Optimate 4 battery charger comes in a special edition for BMW motorcycles, which means the regular Optimate 4 was upgraded by a special cable with a plug fitting in the BMW sockets. Also it is pre-activated in Can-bus mode (which is mode 2 of the charger). So no extra adapter must be bought, no extra socket must be wired to the bikes electronics, and so on.
So all you need to do is: plug the adapters cable in the motorcycles socket, activate the charger and forget about it...
Optimate will take care of your bikes battery totally automatically and keeps it in good shape.
The Optimate 4 has 2 charging modes installed which can be changed easily.
- Mode 1: direct battery charging (using the included battery-clamps)
- Mode 2: safe charging via the CANBUS regulated socket of the motorcycle (fitting plug is included)
Of course the Optimate 4 can be used on any bike (or car, quad, boat, ...) that has a 12V battery installed. Even if it does not have a CAN BUS System installed. In this case Mode 1 would be your choice.
Global travelers are able to use the charger worldwide, due to the power range of 100 - 240 Volts it can handle and operate. Well, a fitting adapter for the power-sockets of the depending country would be necessary...
