They're an advanced battery charger which you leave attatched to the bike, keeps the battery in good health when not in use.

surely for the price of that, aswell as electricity usage it would be cheaper to run the risk of the old battery and replacing if it dies?

You will kill a battery a year if you don't use the bike

I've found that riding them through the winter, even if only occassionally is better than putting one into hibernation.
And there's always a few nice days...
