I keep a couple of spare Gel Motorcycle batteries in my Kitchen and the cheap charger like mine/yours has caused them no harm.

One is my Motobatt for my SV now as a swap and the other is a Motobatt from from my old and gone for now old Honda CX500s. I still have one made from spares in my garage that I may put back on the road sometime but I need to swap the engine for a spare I have

PS

The CX becomes tax and MOT free next year as it's a 1980

That's good to know - cheers.

I thought they'd stopped that practice!

Looks so! Maybe it was an old rumour. Good news for 70's bike values

Same here, I've had several car batteries from them, always very quick delivery and the packaging is first class.
