at a voltage of 11.5v then your batterys on its last legs, you can recover a battery from this low voltage as long as all the plates are in good nick, but an Oximiser isn't the tool to do it,
what type of battery is it ?
If it's the old wet style then get an old fashioned battery charger on it for a couple of hours to put a large boost into it, but don't let the battery get hot, then use the oximiser
If its a Gel style then you can still a car charger but it needs to limit its initial charge
If its a dry cell new fangled thingy then you need that type of charger to put the boost in, which the Oximiser will do but its not got enough omff in it to reverse chemical process
I've always found with these things, use them to put the charge into the battery but once its at full charge, unplug the oximiser, I'm not confinced that the top up function of these units work.
My rules for battery maintenance are simple
keep the battery physically clean
Charge when need to but not on a trickle charge
always followed the above and I've never had to replace a battery, as far as I know my old Buell a 2000 model is still on its original battery, as was my old 1150GSA 2004 model.
