Optimate Battery Monitor
« on: January 08, 2021, 11:06:50 am »
Another Optimate gadget tested.

A handy indicator of battery condition and compatible with all Optimate chargers.

I bought something similar from Lidl four or five years back. I works well.
Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.

Interesting gadget but my current technique is a charger on on my bikes once a month.

Can't remember who, but 'someone' bought one of these, probably not Optimate, and within a couple of weeks it had flattened his otherwise fully charged battery... ::)
