1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back. You know it's getting to be that time

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: of year. Well, actually that time of year for batteries

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: is probably year round now because, as we've said for

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: a long time, right, we see more batteries fail I

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: think in summer than we do in winter. But it's

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: always a good time to talk about batteries, and I

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: thought it would be appropriate. We've reached out to Daryl Brockman.

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: He is product planning over at OPTIMUMA battery and we're

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: excited to have Daryl with us and talk about all

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the new things that Optima is doing. Darrel, welcome to

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor.

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for having me. Great to be here.

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: I need to put a battery in my car. Let's

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: start the simple conversation here, right, I need to put

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: a battery in my car. I've got a two thousand,

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: twenty Toyota Camry. It's got autos start, it's an automatic,

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: it's got all the bells and whistles. Help me put

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: a battery in my car, Daryl, what am I looking for?

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: I mean, usually what you would recommend as an AGM battery,

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: especially if you have start stop in your vehicle that

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: is much harder on the battery the battery is going

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: to be instead of starting the battery, you know, once

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: when you leave for work, and another time when when

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: you're coming back for work. You might be starting the

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: car twenty or thirty times. And the AGM battery is

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: what's going to give you the longest life. You know,

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: in today's modern vehicles, the electrical loads on vehicles over

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: the last ten years has grown exponentially and it's not

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: expected to decrease. And the old flooded batteries just don't

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: have the life and they're not designed to meet those

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: kinds of you know, much higher electrical requirements that today's

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: vehicles have.

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Is it a safe assumption? Dangerous word on family radio?

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: But is it a safe assumption to assume that, Well,

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: if I've got an AGM battery, I don't have a

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: secondary battery for start stop or you know. And I

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: guess the other half of that question becomes, if I

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: do have that second, smaller battery, if I'm changing my

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: main battery, I should change my second battery too, correct.

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean, vehicles can have two and three batteries. In

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: an EV. There's the motive battery, the one that makes

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: the vehicle move. There'll be a twelve volt battery that's

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: usually powering the cabin functions or some you know, some

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: of the core functionality. And then in even an internal

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: combustion engine vehicle, you know, a normal vehicle, those often

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: have two batteries now where they'll have the starting battery

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: and then they'll have a small auxiliary battery that's providing

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: some backup power for some other critical systems.

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Now, Optima would make a battery for my camera, wouldn't they?

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: We do. We have actually, so we have our AGM line.

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: We have red top and yellow top AGM batteries that

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: your camera probably takes a group thirty five battery. We

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: make that in both red and yellow top or red

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: top batteries or what would be used in a vehicle

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: that has more typical electrical loads where the battery is

56
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: used to start the vehicle and then the all charging

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: system has enough power to keep the to maintain electrical equilibrium.

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: A yellow top battery. If you had a big audio

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: system in your car or something with exceptional electrical demands,

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: we'd suggest one of our yellow top batteries. That's a

61
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: dual purpose battery that has great starting power in addition

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: to the ability to be cycled more deeply and have long,

63
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: long cycle life, So you know.

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: You've got them. You've got the batteries from my car, right,

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: But then you get into like what they call powersport vehicles,

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, like a power sport Like why do powersport

67
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: vehicles like ATV snowmobiles, wave runners, they need a specific

68
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: type of battery, right, as opposed to batteries that I

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: might use in my camera or is that Can I

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: take my camera battery and put it into a power

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: into a power sport vehicle if it fits?

72
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Sure? And the biggest difference between a power sports battery

73
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: and an automotive batteries that those power sports batteries are

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: much smaller. Optimate actually introduced a line of lithium power

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: sports batteries about two years ago, and they have a

76
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: lot of great features lithium batteries. One of the advantages

77
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: is they're very lightweight. A lot of people, you know,

78
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: if you have a bike that's or a power sports

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: vehicle that's more performance oriented, a lithium battery is much

80
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: lighter than the lead acid battery replaces, so it'll the

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 2: vehicle handle better and the Again, those batteries have great

82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: cycle life. One of the features that are lithium power

83
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: sports batteries have that really people really like is our

84
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: optimus CPR function and that's what we call our built

85
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: in jump starter. Basically, when the battery gets if the

86
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: battery gets discharged down to thirty five percent state of charge,

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: if you leave the heated grips on on your motorcycle,

88
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: or if you leave the whip lights on your side

89
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: by overnight, once that battery gets down to thirty five percent,

90
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: the battery automatically will go into sleep mode. It'll shut

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 2: down in that thirty five percent that it holds in reserve.

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: It acts like a built in jumpstart. You just have

93
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: to press the button on the power link that's included

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: with the battery. It wakes the battery up and you

95
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: can start it up and be on your way.

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: Wow, that's kind of cool. That's neat. Now is that

97
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: part of lithium technology, because my other question was, you

98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: know you have and as when you talk about your

99
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: lithium technology, is that hypercore lithium because or is hypercore

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: lithium technology and optimum battery something specific also.

101
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of different lithium chemistries in

102
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: the market. The lithium chemistry that's used in cell phones

103
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: is different than the lithium chemistry that's commonly used in

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: electric vehicles, and the lithium chemistry that is used in

105
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: our batteries is different than both of those. Optima uses

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: a lithium ironed phosphate chemistry, which is known for having

107
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: excellent capabilities to deliver a burst of power for starting,

108
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: but it's also widely considered the safest and the most

109
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: abuse tolerant lithium chemistry. And then even within a given

110
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: chemistry type, our hypercore technology with a different for a

111
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: given cell chemistry, you can tune the performance attributes of it,

112
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: and that's where our hypercore chemistry comes in. For example,

113
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: our Q eight six automotive, starting withium automotive starting battery,

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: it can crank down the minus twenty fahrenheit. And if

115
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: you check other lithium batteries that they are on the market,

116
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: they generally recommend that they're not used certainly below zero

117
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: fahrenheit and sometimes even ten or twenty degrees fahrenheit. So

118
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: I'm in Milwaukee and I can even use one of

119
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 2: those batteries here.

120
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: So you're saying, you know, a powersport vehicle an ATV,

121
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: a snowmobile, a wave runner that's gonna that can take

122
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: a lithium battery. But you're also saying you have lithium

123
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: technology available for cars, for my my camera, for my

124
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 1: pickup truck, for my whatever.

125
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: We have a full line of lithium batteries. We have

126
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: six different power sports batteries, different sizes to cover over

127
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the power sports vehicles on the

128
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: on the road, everything from a little fifty cc scooter

129
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: up to a big big V twin touring bike, side

130
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: by sides and everything in between. We also have a

131
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: we have a couple of lithium batteries for marine and

132
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: RV applications, and we have an auto and truck lithium

133
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: starting battery as well.

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: So if you make a group thirty five lithium battery

135
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: for my camera, right, I'm not saying you do. If

136
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: you do and I want to and I want to

137
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: put it in, is it a bolt in or do

138
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: I need to do something special? Do I have to

139
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: change something because my battery was originally a GM or

140
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: lead acid or whatever it might have been. Is there

141
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: is there a difference to the way it's going to charge.

142
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: Or work so the physical the physical size of the battery.

143
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: We don't actually make the battery that would a lithium

144
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: battery for your camera, right, Lithium automotive battery we make.

145
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: It's at H six. It's the most common size used

146
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: in vehicles in the US. It is a it's a

147
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: direct drop in for those drop in replacement for those vehicles.

148
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: And the reason that's possible is both lead acid batteries

149
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: and lithium batteries, the ideal charging voltage is very close

150
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: to fourteen point four volts. That's also the output the

151
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: power output level of the vehicle of vehicle charging systems.

152
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: So that's what enables you to be able to put

153
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: a lithium battery into a vehicle that originally had a

154
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: let acid battery without having to change anything with the

155
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: charging system or anything else.

156
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: And that lithium battery gives me the advantage that I'll

157
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: have more reliable starting power in colder weather and more durability,

158
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: longer lasting, and.

159
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: That and the because the lithium batteries they have, they

160
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: have basically they have a battery management system. It's basically

161
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: a computer inside, and that enables a bunch of really

162
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: cool features for our lithium automotive battery. I was talking

163
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: about that built in jumpstart function. So if you go

164
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: to the airport, leave your Domemite on and jump on

165
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: the plane, you come back a couple of days later

166
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: and your battery's dead. Our lithium automotive batteries have that

167
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,239
Speaker 2: same Optimus CPR function. The cool thing about the automotive

168
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: batteries is you just need to All you have to

169
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: do is open up the Optima Bluetooth app on your

170
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: phone and it reactivates automatically turns the battery on. You

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: don't have to open the hood, you don't have to

172
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: tear up our you even start the battery vehicle up again.

173
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: Just open up the app from your driver's seat and

174
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: a way you go.

175
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: You're making it way too easy, Darryl, Darryl, stay put

176
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: to take a pause on the side. I'm running any

177
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: in the card doctor. Let's let me come back and

178
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about the power link

179
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: system and some of the other things you've got going

180
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: on over there at Optima Batteries. We're here with Daryl

181
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: Brockman from Optima Batteries. I'm un an any in the

182
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: card doctor. I'll be back right after this. M M M. Hey,

183
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Look we came back Ron and Andy and the card

184
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: doc room here with Daryl Brockman. He is the in

185
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: product planning over there at Optimum Batteries Daryl. When we

186
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: pulled away, I wanted to jump in real quick too

187
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: about the power Link system. Can you talk about that

188
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: real quick?

189
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: Sure? So? Powerlink it's a proprietary system with multiple patterns

190
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: for battery communication, control and charging. It's a it's accorded

191
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: dongle that's connected to the battery and it allows you

192
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 2: to know the battery status as multicolored LEDs. So for example,

193
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: the LED all flash green if the battery is fully charged,

194
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: it'll flash red if the battery needs to be charged.

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: There's a button on it. It allows you to shut

196
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: the battery down for off season storage or if you're

197
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: railing your side by side to the trails and you

198
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: want to don't want to have to worry about it

199
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: being powered up. You can just press the button for

200
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: three seconds. It puts the battery to sleep. I mentioned

201
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: Optimus pr previously are built in jumpstart function. It's using

202
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: that button on the power Link is how you'd wake

203
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: the battery up again. And then finally there's a plug

204
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: on the end that enables you to directly plug one

205
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: of Optimus withium enable chargers in Freezy maintenance, your battery

206
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: power sports vehicles and motorcycles, the battery is usually not

207
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: very convenient to get to. It can take a half

208
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: hour of wrenching to even get to the point where

209
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: you can see the battery. So this cord of dongle

210
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: allows you to basically like an extension cord so that

211
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: you can charge your battery conveniently without having to break

212
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: out you run.

213
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: It's sort of like that remote access cord you see

214
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: sticking out of the grill of like a diesel plow

215
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: truck when they want to get to the block heater

216
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: or something. You're you're just making an access point easy

217
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: to get to.

218
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: Very similar, and we combine that charging capability with the

219
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: LEDs to the no battery status and the ability to

220
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: control the batteries.

221
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: Right and then it feeds is that what feeds back

222
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: to the app on the phone if we're doing that.

223
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: So the power sports batteries they have the power link.

224
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: Our Group thirty one batteries that are used for boats

225
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: and RBS r QH six batteries that would be used

226
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: in a number of cars and trucks. Those all have

227
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: a Bluetooth app, and that Bluetooth app not only you know,

228
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 2: the first question is why do I need an app

229
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: for my battery. I don't care what my battery is doing.

230
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: Probably the most useful feature that it has that people

231
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: really have been, you know, really very interested in is

232
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: if that battery gets discharged down to thirty five percent,

233
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: it will automatically go to sleep. That they're optim of

234
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: CPR function. I was talking about just opening up by

235
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: You just have to open up the app, and by

236
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: doing that and connecting to the battery, it activates the

237
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: battery and wakes it back up again when that built

238
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: in jumpstart function has been has been activated. So you

239
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: don't even have to open up the hood of the vehicle.

240
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: You don't have to make physical contact with the you know,

241
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: dig up your trunk.

242
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I want to talk about safety certifications. Why are they

243
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: so important?

244
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: The safety certifications? I mean, there's a lot of lithium

245
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: battery manufacturers and brands on the market. Agency and safety

246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: certifications are one way to know that the battery has

247
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: undergone rigorous testing to ensure safe operation. And there's both

248
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: sell and battery level certifications. Optima has both not only

249
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: for the US standards, but for international standards as well.

250
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: So you know, when people are using lithium and we

251
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: hear lithium in the news all the time, right, we

252
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: know optims optim has done the research and that's where

253
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: the safety certifications are so important. That we're dealing with.

254
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: We're dealing with the you know, the cream of the crop,

255
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: so to speak. You guys are rich that that we're

256
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: dealing with a good quality of lithium battery and technology

257
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: behind it.

258
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: If Clarius is engineering team. Clarius is the world's largest

259
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: battery manufacturer. The engineering team that supported development of these

260
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: Optima batteries their normal their normal role is developing low

261
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: voltage energy storage systems for major audio automakers. Clarios is

262
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: the world's largest supplier of low voltage energy storage systems

263
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: for automakers. That same engineering team with that with their

264
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: you know, robust product knowledge and experience with the technology

265
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: and battery management system development, that's the team that supported

266
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: development of these Optima batteries and it's really what enabled

267
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: what enables us to have such high performance, such a

268
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: unique and proprietary feature set and again to have that

269
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: long list of agency and safety certifications.

270
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: Yep, Daryl, where can the listeners go get more information?
