Tango Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'm not sure if a well charged battery puts less load on the Stator and Reg/Rec as well.....they're not having to work as hard as when they are trying to charge a heavily discharged battery..... Anyway......back on topic......I'd not be without my optimate......The bike gets hooked up to it when I put it back into the garage.....even after a good run..... so that it's ready for the next outing......

hammer5 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Better to have one than not, and if you don't have access to a power supply, I have the solar powered one & my battery is kept in tip top condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford also seem to do a solar panel option for a lot less £, excuse my denseness but what is the big difference between say the Optimate Solar and the Oxford Oximiser hooked up to a solar panel?(One thing I did spot though is that the Oxford product has "Oxford Oximiser" written all over it, I'm not normally a paranoid chap but that does scream "motorbike stored in this shed" to a clued up bike thief to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer5 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 No idea on the difference in all honesty, I just know I would rather have an optimate bit of kit than Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Ive had an oxford oximiser the first model out! it was shite! it went tits up and killed a battery Not sure if they have improved never needed anything else since owning the optimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
