    I am absolutely fascinated to know how you got around to finding that out.

    I know we've all probably been daft enough to lick a battery in the past, but something that's plugged into the mains!!!! :suicide:

    Well I bought my battery from Racing Batteries 02476 715780 or 07817 704335 [email protected] .The guy's name is Callum and is very helpfull . He says its fine to use Optimate to charge . If in doubt talk to him about it he is very approachable .

    Tell him Claire Cooper sent you and ask him for a keen price

    More info here:-

    & interesting comment re. trickle charger:-
    "In fact, use of a trickle charger such as a Battery Tender can damage the battery and will void the warranty"

    Yup .. LEAVING the battery on after charging is the issue ... not the charging itself

    So even with all the checks, tests, offs, ons and theraputic massages that the Optimate does to the battery it would still invalidate your warranty?

    Yup ..cos LiPo batteries don't like constant charging without discharging .. like when you lay up the bike for winter

    I think it might have been the CTEK Multi XS 3600.

    Could have been mate, I wish I could remember tho.
    Mind you the amount of people recommending the optimate 4 shows it must be pretty damn good!
