Being a full-featured 7 amp charger, I was skeptical that it would make sense to use as a maintainer, especially on a small motorcycle battery, so I monitored both its power use at the wall using a Kill-a-Watt EZ, and its voltage output at the battery using a multimeter. Interestingly, once it goes into maintenance mode, it uses almost no power most of the time, reading 0.0W at the wall, by contrast, the Battery Tender Jr. reads a few watts any time it's plugged in, even if not connected to a battery. For the price it seems like there should be a more informative readout on it, like an LCD that tells you exactly what it's doing in plain English, but the LED light method is effective once you decode what each combination means, and it's likely for more bulletproof for anyone preferring to buy it for life. Don't be tempted by cheap junk like Noco that offer a lot of features but fail after a year or two, and may not be delivering as "smart" a charge as they promise. Review: LOVE the Power Supply Setting! - This replaced an Optimate 3+ that I’ve owned and used for the past 11 years. Nothing at all wrong with the 3+! But I wanted a charger with a power supply mode, so I could use service functions and reflash the multiple modules without fear of the battery running out of power and potentially bricking one of the motorcycle’s modules. This Optimate Select 7 does the trick! With my Hex GS-911 I was able to reflash multiple modules on my K1600, customizing certain functions, and ran the ABS bleed service function and never had a low battery warning (like I usually do). ## Features - More charging power and current at 10A! - Selectable 14.7V program to charge premium AGM batteries such as Optima & Odyssey. - Power supply mode provides stable battery support during ECU programming. Saves dead batteries other chargers can't & longer battery life! - Saves dead batteries other chargers can't & longer battery life! - Temperature compensation - Voltage adjusted higher when colder, lower when hotter. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08KYH1Y1T | | Amperage | 10 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #643,433 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,369 in Battery Chargers | | Brand | Tecmate | | Built-In Media | Battery charger, Battery Lead, & Battery Clips | | Color | Blue | | Connector Type Used on Cable | Cigarette Lighter or Battery Clamp | | Current Rating | 10 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (41) | | Input Voltage | 12 Volts | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9.25"D x 4.88"W x 2.6"H | | Item Type Name | Battery Charger | | Item Weight | 1.44 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | TecMATE | | Mfr Part Number | TM-251v3 | | Model Number | TM-251v3 | | Number of Ports | 9 | | Output Voltage | 12 Volts | | Specification Met | CSA, DOE, UL | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 Years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tecmate - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 1.44 Kilograms - **Output Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Product Dimensions:** 9.25"D x 4.88"W x 2.6"H ## Images ![Optimate 7 Select - 12V 10A, TM-251v3, 9-Step Gold Series Battery Saving Charger & maintainer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81L2xLy0VvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can Optimate 7 maintain 2 scooter batteries at once or just one at a time?** A: This is single bank charger, so only one battery at a time ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True "Smart" Charger Built to Last *by E***N on December 26, 2025* I'm glad I finally invested in a quality battery charger to replace decades of using a cheap maintainer (Battery Tender Jr.) and a walmart battery charger (Schumacher 6-amp), the Optimate 7 was exactly the upgrade I needed.
