Over Winter....

.... I intend to get out and drive as much as I can... but of course mother nature will have its way sometimes, and my pride and joy will be all wrapped up in the garage....

So, to my question. Without an optimiser, the battery is likely to suffer. What makes / models do people use, and how do you rate them.

I use an Oxford Optimiser on my bike and keeps it in good condition, but know the Chim will need something a little meatier.

Thanks in advance.

I use an optimate 2 used to do my CBR600 and now does the Griffith no problems had for a good 8 years me thinks...

I had the same problem and purchased an AccuMate 6V/12V optimiser (£34&VAT from their website) plus the cigarette lighter connection. I attached the optimiser to the garage wall adjacent to the drivers door and when I wanted to charge the battery I fed the cig lighter lead through the hood via the velco section and into the cig lighter socket.

Problem solved!
