Battery charger around £40???
Hi, does anyone know of or have a battery charger thats around the £40 mark and is happy with it? Just looking on ebay and you can get one for £10 or one at £80, so i`ll go for one in the middle lol.
Looking to buy one so i`m seeing what others say. Cheers, Electro. |

Re: Battery charger around £40???
I cannot say for the maximiser, but the Oxford Oximiser is absolute rubbish. I bought one because they were cheaper than an Optimate. I wasn't as good and failed after about 8 months. I bought a second and that only lasted about 2 months and went in the bin.
I have had an optimate for about 4 years now and it is a perfect bit of kit. I leave the bike pluged in over the winter recycling the battery and it has never let me down. Oxford products have always let me down, be it battery chargers or panniers. Cheap rubbish.

My Optimate is now about 11 years old and still going strong.
