Battery Charger Advice please.....

[Ton13]

Hey Foccers,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this here device would be able (or suitable) for charging a bike battery?
I have one already and use it to Charge LiPo batteries that fire high powered guns but wondered if it would do the job on a spare bike battery?
(i hope the link works properly!)

Bike magazine has a review on battery chargers this month, their pick of the basic chargers is the CTEK XSO.8 - "has every mode this type of charger should, but is completely automatic. It's also light and neat, and keenly priced for its spec."

Sorry - in response to your actual question, your link doesn't take you to a specific charger and I don't know if a charger that is designed for LiPo batteries will work for a motorcycle battery but I doubt that it would be ideal. If it were me I'd rather buy the charger in the link above than risk cooking the battery.

You wouldn't try to charge a LiPo battery from a normal charger (or you could but they have a habit of exploding very violently) so don't try using anything else to charge a bike battery.  Get a proper one like the one PieEater suggests or this  http://www.maplin.co.uk/smartcharge-4-sealed-lead-acid-battery-charger-48446
