Battery tender

[Spitfire]

Hi guys,
            Been reading about these on the US site, the F1 is tucked up in bed now as my geriatric knees do not like the cold however I want to keep the bike ready to roll, so is there a UK equivelant, something to keep the battery in top condition and ready to roll ?

Cheers

Den, a man of your calibre MUST have heard of an Optimate III (or the cheaper Oxford equivalent)

I keep my two 500/4 one week on one week off.

I use an Optimate to keep my battery topped up over Winter. Excellent piece of kit.

Got mine off Fleabay for

Naw, iwhen I was biking regularly the battery never had a chance to go flat, if it did then it got a quick whizz on a car charger, all this stuff is new to me !
Thanks for the info will be scouring the web now.

Cheers

I'm DEAD, found an Optimate on eBay and ordered it, when I told SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED I got that deadly female LOOK, she had already bought one for me for Christmas. I'm DEAD

Nothing wrong with two Optimates.  How many bikes have you got?
