Advantages: Good price and components

Disadvantages: Not tested longer term

Optimate 111 was a must for my Christmas list and Christmas came early for me ans the in laws got it sent via the Internet. I have 2 motorcycles and in the November to March period they don't always get used regularly. So when i heard about an intelligent charger for motorcycle batteries that was reliable and tough i was hooked. The first job it did for me was to check my scooter battery which it did in about an hour. It tested it, charged it a bit and then the little green light came on to show all was well. The scooter does get fairly regular use and I knew the battery was in fairly good condition as it was only a few months old. What I did like was the connection to be able to semi permanently connect it to your battery for long term maintenance, plug it in after connecting it and forget it. No more flat batteries. The price is good and by shopping around on the Internet you can pick them up for just over £30. There are other intelligent chargers out there but this one seems to get the A1 thumbs up and so far its the business: easy to use, permanent connection or crocodile clips to keep you battery in peak performance, robust design, quality parts used. This looks like it will be a permanent feature in my garage.

Summary: A good value battery maintenance/charger unit for you motorcycle
