Optimate query

At risk of sounding completely ignorant (& stupid) and sorry this is not about bikes
Anyone here used their bike optimate on a car? My car battery is flat and I haven't got a car charger? For some reason I seem to recollect this was not a good idea.
Comments appreciated..

when you say 'bike optimate' - I thought an optimate was just a clever trickle battery charger. i use mine for the bike, the kids electric truck, golf caddy batteries, car batteries, sex aids.....
..they all work fine, ahem.

If the battery is 12 volts the optimate will never know what it is used in!

Hooked up to the car and 'optimating' as I write..
