Description
The OptiMate DC DUO TM500 V3 is a DC-to-DC smart charger and maintainer, designed to safely charge and maintain a second 12V battery from a primary 12V power source (such as another battery, solar-charged battery, or vehicle). With 2A of charge current and dual chemistry support (lead-acid and lithium), it's perfect for trailers, off-grid setups, dual-battery 4x4s, and boats.
This charger automatically detects the battery type and applies a multi-stage charging and maintenance cycle. Its passive mode consumes less than 0.5 mA and includes automatic shut-off when the source voltage drops too low - making it the safest way to maintain a battery from any 12 V supply.
