I brought my charger in January 2012 after flattening it trying to start the bike with knackered spark plugs. The battery was 14 years old at that point and never been on a charger. I think it took 24 hours whilst the charger did its thing through different cycles until it registered a fully charged battery. Ever since then I have kept the bike connected to the charger (optimiser) when the bike is not in use which could be 5 weeks at a time. Don't wish to chance fate but the battery is now 22 years old :eek
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
