Well it's that time of year again, freezing, and the battery goes flat after only a week of standing in a cold garage. I was going to buy an Optimate in the new year, but I've got on Oximiser for Christmas from the wife (she actually likes my bike ). Is there any difference between the two? I've just put it on charge now and the bottom 3 lights are on, the bike only grumbles when I hit the starter (been stood for about 2 weeks now in a sub-zero temp garage. I assume I need to wait for the top green light to come on before I can start it? Will the battery need replacing now, or is there a chance the oximiser could recover it? Any help, as always, would be appreciated. This is the first winter I've had a big bike, with no kickstart, as last year, my 125 was ALWAYS flat, and the kickstart worked wonders. Just I'd hate to be left stranded at work, as the bike would be outside for 12 hours there, as this bike WILL NOT push start at all .
