Review on Tecmate Optimate Select TM 251V3 Gold by Edgardo Ennis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent vehicle performance during maintenance/testing; does a great job rebuilding the battery

This is the best continuous charging and battery conditioning method I have ever used. Optimate works better than CTEK chargers for battery recovery and maintenance. (See the OptiMate 4 vs. World's Smartest Charger YouTube video for more details on how the OptiMate handles battery recovery better.) Networks. . So stick it in the wall and you're done. I prefer this over CTEK chargers which need to be turned on and set to the correct settings every time you plug them in. The reason for choosing the Optimate 7 version is that it has the additional function of powering the car's electrical system while you are working on the car with the ignition on. This is extremely useful when tuning/flashing an ECU or troubleshooting electrical issues. You don't want your car battery to drain during flashing and block the engine control unit.

Pros
  • battery chargers
Cons
  • I really don't like it everything is fine
