Optimate charging question. - SV650.org

05-04-12, 05:38 PM

Yesterday I left my heated grips on all day, by mistake, and come home time, I needed a set of jump leads to get the girl going. After a few miles up the motorway she settled down and now the battery seems charged and able to start the bike no problem.

On getting home I plugged her in to the Optimate3+ expecting the steady green light on the top left for power and then a blinking green light from the top right green LED. Instead I get an amber light in the bottom right corner with a less than obvious icon.

I have ditched the paperwork for the charger and any downloads available don't seem to indicate what the amber light means.

Does anyone know for sure please? See below pic of the light etc,. I would really appreciate any help.

Cheers
