Optima Batteries has added the Optima Chargers Digital 400 12V Performance Maintainer and Battery Charger to its new line of battery charging products.
Unlike the Digital 1200 12V Performance Battery Charger, released earlier this year, the new Digital 400 is more compact and can easily be used to charge and maintain a variety of vehicle segments, according to the company.
The unit will retail for $99 and be available in early 2013. The Digital 400, which can recover discharged batteries that others cannot, is compatible for use in automotive, truck, marine, motorcycle, powersport, lawn and garden, and RV applications. The product has a charge rate of up to four amps on large batteries and three amps on small batteries and can be utilized to keep all 12V AGM and flooded batteries healthy during storage.
Beyond improving the performance and life of Optima and other AGM batteries, the Digital 400 is user-friendly with an at-a-glance battery indicator and check battery icons. The product is both compact and portable and will come with a wall bracket and useful hook for easy and flexible use, the maker said. Dual-purpose hook and tilt design allows for in-vehicle hanging or angled stand viewing. The company added the unit ensures a simple set-up process with pre-charge battery status display mode.
