I use the Optimate also 3, 4 and 5's. Great products. This reminded me to plug the bike in.

OP:
Are you using a "pigtail" type connecting cord on the battery?
That you then plug the tender's cord into?
If so, check the battery pigtail cord carefully.
I have a Schumacher battery maintainer. I was getting an error message from out of nowhere. Upon close inspection, I found that one end of the pigtail cord had a bad connection (where it connects to the battery itself).
I replaced the pigtail cord and it's been fine since.

All of my Deltrans have a 10 year warranty. A couple of years ago they did not hesitate replacing one of mine that stopped working.
