accumate battery charger

[shropshire lad]

Just looking for some reassurance. I regularly use the accumate but never need to leave it on for more than a day or two at a time . I am now going away for 3 weeks , is it ok to leave the accumate connected for this length of time ? Thanks.

I leave my accumates on my motorbike and Morgan permanently, no problem, that is what they are designed for, they CANNOT overcharge your battery....

yep used one on my suzuki gsxr all year round never had problem,transferred on to chim same thing,just as wacky racer states.had about 4 years now.great bit of kit.

All perfectly true, I go away for up to months at a time, Dear Wife starts the Chim up every week or two (if she's not with me) and when I come home - first crack, sweet as a nut. Great piece of kit.

Cheers

Yep, three weeks last December, no problems.

Remember, these are conditioners, not chargers. They only charge the battery when the voltage falls below a preset level. Dunno about the Accumate, but I have an Airflow one, which has a "Charging" light on it, which you can see go on and off. I leave it plugged in all the time. Don't do this with a dumb charger, you will damage the battery through overcharging.

Thanks to all. One thing less to think about while I am away.
