Product Information
Full details
This OptiMate SAE extension cable is for users of OptiMate battery chargers and maintainers seeking to extend their reach. Its key benefit is providing an additional 4.6m (15ft) of length for charger connection, enabling use in more flexible locations. A crucial caveat is its limited compatibility with older OptiMate models (up to OptiMate 4) and its specific voltage/plug requirements for Japanese specifications, necessitating a voltage transformer for use elsewhere. The cable supports up to 5A and is built to withstand harsh weather conditions down to -40°C.

FAQs
What is the maximum current this extension cable can handle?
The OptiMATE SAE Extension Cable - O13 supports a maximum of 5 Amps.
Can I use this cable with my OptiMate 7 charger?
No, this cable is not compatible with OptiMate 6 and later models. It is designed for use with models up to OptiMate 4.
What is the length of the extension cable?
The cable is 4.6 meters (15 feet) long.
Is this cable suitable for use in cold weather?
Yes, the cable is weatherproof and can operate in temperatures as low as -40°C.
Do I need a voltage transformer if I live outside Japan?
Yes, a voltage transformer is required if you are using this cable outside of Japan because it is designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V).
What type of plugs does this cable use?
This cable uses Japanese plug types, which are typically Type A or Type B.
What happens if I use this cable without a voltage transformer outside Japan?
Using the cable without a voltage transformer in a region with different voltage standards (e.g., 100-240V) can cause damage to the connected OptiMate device.
Troubleshooting
Charger not connecting through the extension cable.
Ensure both SAE connections are clean and firmly attached. Verify that your OptiMate charger model is compatible (up to OptiMate 4 and 5A output). Check that a voltage transformer is correctly used if operating outside Japan.
Cable seems damaged or connection is intermittent.
Inspect the cable and connectors for any physical damage. Discontinue use if damage is found and replace the cable. Ensure connections are secure and free from corrosion.
Device connected to the cable is not receiving power.
Confirm the primary OptiMate charger is functioning correctly on its own. Double-check all connections and ensure the charger's output is within the 5A limit supported by the extension cable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides significant extra cable length for charger placement.
- Durable, weatherproof construction for all-season use.
- Supports up to 5A, fitting most common OptiMate chargers.
- Easy plug-and-play SAE connection.
Cons
- Not compatible with OptiMate 6 and later models (output > 6A).
- Requires a voltage transformer for use outside of Japan (90-110V Japanese specifications).
- Japanese plug types (A or B) may require adapter or specific outlet.
- Warranty does not apply to parallel imports.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply connect the SAE end of the extension cable to the output port of your compatible OptiMate battery charger or maintainer. Then, connect the other SAE end to your battery's SAE connector. Ensure both connections are secure.
Compatibility: This cable is designed for use with OptiMate battery chargers and maintainers up to and including OptiMate 4, supporting a maximum current of 5A. It is not compatible with OptiMate 6 and later models, which often have higher current outputs exceeding 6A. Critically, this cable is designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V) and uses Japanese plug types (A or B). A voltage transformer is required if used in regions with different voltage standards (e.g., North America, Europe) to prevent damage.
Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from debris. Store the cable in a dry place when not in use. The weatherproof design allows for use in various conditions, but avoid prolonged submersion in water. Regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended.
