Just received my new Optimate 4 and connected the permanent connection lead to the battery while doing some other tinkering... Not connected the Optimate yet but noted on the box it has two programs (Standard and Can-bus). I gather Can-bus is for charging via an accessories port?? Therefore I guess I should just use in standard operation. Can anyone confirm this for me?
I think it allows charging thru the accessories port/12v socket but also the ecu can control the charge to the battery. I have something like it for my BMW and the bikes ecu monitors charge. I'd stick with standard, unless you have stock port on the bike
I've got one but do not use the 2nd standard mode. You have to swap terminals for 5 seconds or so to do it.
