Tiger Sport Battery Tender

Having bought the Optimate that will do SLA, AGM and LIFEPO4 batteries you don’t need to overly concern yourself about which type of battery you have. As @edtxw01 said, “two green lights is what you need”.

I have very recently bought the same model Optimate as I have two roadworthy machines at the moment. I had devised a method of using just one Optimate to service the two machines using a DP/DT mains relay and a couple of cheap 7 day mains plug-in timers but in the end bit the bullet and reluctantly purchased the new Optimate.

Part of my research for my 2 bikes/1 charger design involved speaking to the guys at Optimate and discovered that having unplugged the device from one machine you ideally need to give it a break, 30 minutes was suggested, for the device to reset itself. Otherwise immediately plugging it into another machine could well see the device resuming the diagnostic/charging process it was undertaking on the first machine, not knowing that it was now dealing with a totally different machine. The guys at Optimate were most helpful.
