This is incredibly efficient . The problem is , most modern powersports vehicles have some parasitic draw from the battery when the switch is off . This parasitic draw kills batteries in powersports vehicles . Traditional trickle chargers of questionable quality are simply not up to the task of maintaining advanced lithium-ion batteries ,” said Ballistic Director of Sales and Marketing , Chip Spalding . “ Our solution is a partnership with industry leader TecMate to provide the ultra-high quality OptiMate 1 lithium charger and state of the art EVO health monitor with our EVO3 battery . The package delivers everything needed to get maximum power and battery life from the EVO battery ”; www . ballistic-batteries . com
