Ctek Battery Chargers - Which one?

[cbay]

Hi everyone

I'm after getting a ctek charger but not sure which one to get the XS800 I'm thinking. Anyone got on or another ctek one. I like it as there's a newish adding tht you attach to battery and have like a traffic light led indicator on it that tells you the state of your battery without have to plug in the charger beforehand. Plus thinking of connecting the indicator and putting it through to below pillion seat area so don't have to unscrew front seat all the time.

I like the easy life. ;-P

Opinions and reviews please.

Never met one, but looking at the instructions I wouldn't let it near my battery. Its a transformerless switch mode device, scarey if they go wrong.
Optimate FTW

Don't compromise. Get an Optimate

+ 1 for Optimate 5***** rating on safety.

If you search Amazon you'll find some user reviews, all positive.

Personally, for the reason of it being a ching chang transformerless switch mode design I'd never let it near my bike.
