Optimate 4 led light meaning? - SV650.org

Geodude · 15-01-14, 09:35 AM

Anyone on here using an optimate 4 and understands the led light system who can tell me if its normal for the charge led to flash on and off (usually means verifying charge) 6 times then flash all the charge current leds once then repeat the cycle over constantly? It has been running for 8 hours like this now? Ive read the manual back to front and can't find any mention of this and haven't got much hair left to pull out.

Edit: Now flashes 10 times and cycle repeats?

Mine just flashes one led constantly once its settled down i think.

Maybe its charging the battery too?

Ta for reply. Charge stage is a solid light but mine seems to be stuck at the flashing verify charge state?

fanku kind sir. I did have a word with a tech guy who said leave it run for 48 hours and see what happens as it goes to forced charge after 48 hours instead of pulsed, so thats what im doing. Ive just never seen it light up this way so thats why im asking if others have ever seen this. Ta Tom
