Optimiser chargers

(1/2) > >>

royhall:
I have been using a couple of Oxford 601 Optimisers on two bikes and both have broken at 18 months old. I thought when they arrived that they were a bit cheap and nasty compared to my older aluminium cased Oxford optimiser, and that has proved to be the case. Do you guys have any recommendations for good quality replacements. I was thinking of buying a couple of these as they look the business. Any ideas?

I use a (much) older Oxford unit,its the large style and is wall mounted,I tried to find one on fleabay,buts its so old its not even shown,
needless to say,it seems to work great,
only issue I have is the cost of spare leads and plugs,

Trigger:
I always use old mobile phone chargers if they are 12V with a 0.5A output. Does the same job ;)

Gixxer-18:
I agree with Trigger; I've used this style before and they seem to be chargers rather than maintainers, and boiled a battery dry over a few months.  Also if you have your Oxford documents do you have a Three year warranty? Worth checking before you bin it!

I use an Optimate on my two, not had a problem, I had to renew the battery on the 750 last year but it had lasted 10 years.
