OptiMATE solar kit, panels with intelligent charge/monitoring controller. The highly effective solar charger (solar impulse charging system), with which even deeply discharged batteries can still be saved and protected. It guarantees safe and intelligent charging, as the OptiMATE solar battery charging system independently switches between continuous charging or pulse charging depending on the sunshine. OptiMATE analyses the state of the battery the next day and optionally continues charging or - in the case of a defective battery - optimisation. Safe long-term maintenance without the risk of overcharging. Automatic shutdown in the event of a short circuit or as soon as the battery is disconnected. Excellent safety for battery and vehicle electronics Easy monitoring of the battery status with the help of the monitor display, which updates itself every 3 seconds. (current consumption < 0.5 mA). With this battery charging system you get an all-round package, mobile, portable, intelligent. The system is suitable for standard, AGM, LFP and gel batteries.

The following values ​​are calculated and displayed under microprocessor control: - Current solar power 0 - 999 W (watt) - Current solar power 0 - 60.0 A (ampere) - The geographic and weather-dependent influences show up immediately and unmistakably. This also applies to the orientation of the sun, partial shading or soiling of the solar modules. - Current solar battery voltage 7 - 32.0 V (volts) Allows conclusions to be drawn about the battery status (flashing warning display at under or Overvoltage of the battery) - Invited solar capacity 0 - 9999 Ah (ampere hours) - Invited solar energy 0 - 9999 kWh (kilowatt hours) The energy generated by the solar modules (Wh and kWh) and that charged into the battery Capacity (Ah) are measured, added up and displayed, even over days and weeks. The display values ​​can be individually reset to "zero" at any time for your own statistical purposes: Are the solar modules shaded or dirty or is something wrong? How much energy does my solar system actually deliver?In order to be able to answer these questions, VOTRONIC offers the LCD solar computer S, which is simply connected to the VOTRONIC solar charge controller of the SR and MPP series and immediately provides the required information. It is also possible to connect the LCD solar computer S to the controller at a later date, since the VOTRONIC solar charge controller already has are ready to plug in and provide the required signals. The connection is therefore kept extremely simple. The measured values ​​are clear and easy to use at the push of a button for better control and use of the solar system shown on the display. The display is backlit (switchable) and also from greater distances and very easy to read under lighting conditions. The LCD solar computer S is designed as a panel version to match the VOTRONIC module system and is both optically and also mechanically (uniform height 85 mm) to the other display modules. Small front panel dimensions and the particularly small installation depth of just 22 mm allows installation at almost any point. If the device is not installed countersunk, stands a corresponding add-on housing is available in our range of accessories. The connection to the solar controller is ready to plug in with the supplied 5 m long connection cable, which can be extended by a further 5 m.

Charging converter High charging capacity even on short journeys or full charge on longer journeys. The voltage is brought to the required level (increased or decreased) in order to be able to precisely charge the on-board battery with the optimal charging characteristic. Compensates for line losses and voltage fluctuations in the alternator, such as occur continuously to a considerable extent in Euro 6 vehicles (intelligent alternators). Compact design, low weight (high-frequency switch mode technology) and powerfully dimensioned power components for safe operation. A significantly better energy balance of the on-board battery without intervention in the starting circuit If the 12 V consumers are supplied, they are protected against overvoltage and voltage fluctuations. Overcharging of the battery is impossible because the charging voltage is regulated in such a way that it is free of peaks Fully automatic operation: the device is constantly connected to the batteries and is automatically activated by the running alternator of the vehicle. The batteries are not discharged when the engine is not running. Parallel and buffer operation: If the battery is used at the same time, it continues to be charged or is kept full. The device automatically calculates and monitors the adjustment of the charging times. Monitoring-free charging: Multiple protection against overload, overheating, overvoltage, short circuit, malfunction and back-discharge of the battery through electronic regulation up to complete separation of device and battery. Built-in on-board network filter: Problem-free parallel operation with other charging sources (EBL, chargers, motor and fuel generators, solar systems) on one battery. Charging cable compensation: voltage losses on the charging cables are automatically compensated. Connection for battery temperature sensor (included in delivery): In the case of lead batteries (acid, gel, AGM), the charging voltage is automatically adjusted to the battery temperature, results in better full charging of the weaker battery in the cold, and in summer temperatures unnecessary battery gassing avoided. LiFePO4 batteries: battery protection at high and especially at low temperatures <0 ° C. Charging aid for deeply discharged lead batteries: Gentle pre-charging of the (lead-acid, gel, AGM) battery up to 8 V, then powerful support for the battery if consumers are still switched on.

Battery box with various connections, with solar panel Optionally with AGM or LiFePo battery In the 21st Century modern technology is everywhere, even off-road and off the grid, but more often than not there is no power when you're out and about on some trail in some country. One option is the classic cigarret-lighter as a power source, but in using this frequently you risk decharging your battery to a point where it won't start your car anymore. Another option would be a generator, but those are loud, impractical and noisy. To solve this probem highly portable powerbanks were invented, but for a multiple day long trip a small powerbank just won't cut it. So, what if you had a lagre but portable power bank? One you could simply charge, even off the grid, maybe with a solar panel? And one that is heavy dut enough to endure week long trips and years of use ?  Hold on, that's exactly what we did! This compact, but long-lasting Powerstation (33Ah) offers a cigaret lighter-output and two USB-ports (5V - 2.1A), in a roubust shell. It can simply be charged using our solar panels by Optimate. LiFePo4 batteries – with their lithium iron phosphate cathode material – are perfect for running your camping or work utilities on the road, especially in conjunction with our mobile battery boxes. Unlike your conventional AGM lead-acid technology, the lithium battery combines vastly superior charging/discharging qualities with extremely low weight and small volume, respectively, and a long service life. LiFePo4 batteries tolerate deep discharging without problems, unlike AGM batteries which will suffer irreparable damage when repeatedly discharged beyond 50%. Unless you require the greater tolerance for extreme cold in AGM’s, you should definitely consider the higher initial costs of LiFePo4 batteries and compatible chargers. Enormous weight and space reductions, the long life-cycle and the hassle-free charging and discharging of the battery are strong arguments for the investment. And last but not least: LiFePo4-technology is extremely safe. robust shell portable design comfortable handle 20 A car-fuse 33 Ah (396Wh) AGM brand battery optionally 35 Ah LiFePo battery 2x USB-plug (out) 1x cigaret-lighter (out) 1x SAE junction box for charger (charger not included) (in) 1x On-/Off-switch  simply plug in and off you go Scope of delivery: 1 x Optimate solar panels in a choice of 40, 60 and 80 watts, including bag and stand.1 x Optimate charge/monitor controller, including weatherproof battery cable1 x Nakatanenga battery box selectable in 4 colours, with different connections Please note the legal information on batteries HERE.
