Any suggestions how to check an optimate?
Whenever I plug it into the bike it says "DE sulphate" and doesn't seem to charge at all. The battery seems to be ok as in so much as I can tell. It seems to hold a charge and with a jump start will start again after a few miles riding and then start OK for weeks to come. Leave it too long though and as I would expect with an immobiliser/clock etc, the battery gradually dies even though it is connected to the optimate.
