Best Battery Optimiser
« on: February 12, 2009, 04:02:39 PM »
I purchased the Oxford Maximiser 360t last September, i have had it connected to my bike over the winter and last week went to start the bike having already had to fork out for a new battery back in July and the starter relay is just buzzing. So, battery flat again. Tried to restart the optimiser which won't come outta standby but its buggered so sent it back.

So long story short which optimiser is the best and who has which one.

Any comments will be useful sensible or not.

Thanks in advance

I've had nowt but trouble with Oxford optimisers over the years.


Those Accumen 2-bike chargers are supposed to be good and reliable aswell - worth thinking about if you have a couple of bikes.

I use an Optimate 3 SP, been using it for a couple of years on a variety of bikes.
Remember NEVER squirt WD40 into the connector, they'll fall to pieces within the month!
I've got through 4 sets of the connectors!

We have always used optimates' and they're brilliant...would definitely buy one again. And likewise, never had them break...
