Perfect for keeping my R1200GS battery in tip top order and always ready to go. The plug in connector means I don’t have to hard wire it to the bike.

Aside from the usual impressive delivery time from Sportsbikeshop I ought to be saying things like it's easy to use and a great quality product but as you can probably tell from the date this was posted, it is nearly Xmas so I have to admit that Santa has it atm so it can't be used for a few days. Other than that, it was a very good price and I hope to be delighted and "surprised" come Xmas day morning.

Bought to replace my old optimate 4 which after over 15 years of faithful service has gone to the great shed in the sky. The old one charged and maintained many batteries on my bikes, my wife bikes and friends bikes. It recovered batteries that everyone thought were beyond saving. Yes you can buy cheaper but in my experience they prove to be false economy. In the time I had the old one I also had 2 oxford and a couple of generic chargers none of which lasted more than a couple of years.
If this lasts only a third of the time of my old one it will still be a bargain.

This is an easy to use piece of kit. I have a tiny gripe, though - I bought it because the advert used words like "CANBUS" and "Triumph", BUT it turned out that I can't use the CANBUS option via the DIN socket on my '23 PLATE Triumph Tiger, so it lost a star there (although it should probably be Triumph that loses the star, tbh). However, 5 mins later and it was hooked up to my battery (with the connector safely tucked under my seat should I need it again) merrily charging away. I left it hooked up all weekend just to be sure, but it had rescued my battery overnight. Considering pretty much all bike kit is expensive these days, it wasn't a bad price, and the next day delivery meant that my flat battery on Thursday was up and fixed for Saturday morning! Huzzah!

I bought this for my BMW bikes because at the time SBS had discounted the unit considerably.
As I’ve a Lithium battery on one of the bikes it was essential I had a quality charger. The techmate is simple to use and came with the correct DIN plug adapter. Works a treat, highly recommend you buy one.

Purchased this Optimate 4 Quad to maintain the battery on my BMW 1250RT, I would normally just go with the standard method and connect the leads to the battery but didn't have the time and the messing taking the battery out of it's housing, simply plugging this charger into you 12v canbus/accessory socket is convenient with all the correct modes and settings displayed for what type of battery and of course the canbus option if you have a BMW, just plug in and walk away knowing that your battery will be fully charged and ready to ride away every time, perfect!
