Optimate Duo 1 - improving a reliable brand
Bought to replace an earlier Optimate that I'd had for over 10 years which was no longer working properly in the final testing phase. This new version worked perfectly and confirmed a couple of batteries were fine saving me money in unnecessarily replacing batteries that were in a good state. I also like the fact that this can also be used on the new Lithium Ion batteries which my old Optimate would not have been able to do so this makes it a dual purpose charger saving me even more money in future.

Handy, low-price battery charger
Really useful kit to have in your bike garage. Keeps the battery topped up during those months when you might not ride it so much.
Simple to use and to fit the quick-fit cable. I zipped-tied mine to the rear subframe near below the battery. Handy croc clips so you can fit to other bikes too.
I was going to buy a new battery but bought one of these - it brought my original battery back from the dead.Read full review...

Super versatile
This is a top product, so simple to setup and use, plus it is very versatile being able to charge and maintain a wide variety of battery types. I especially like this for my bike as I can attach the cable to the battery and tuck the fully sealed lead into the tail tidy - then all I need to do is unlock the tail tidy and plug it into the charge leads. No messing around with crocodile clips - such a clever design.Read full review...

Effective kit
I've been using Optimates since their release and having the dual purpose model made perfect sense to keep up with advances in battery technology.
The unit is very compact and comes with all connectors/cabling required. It took a couple of minutes to secure to the wall, another couple to connect to my battery and has functioned perfectly ever since.
Good batteries are expensive and keeping them in top condition extends their life, resulting in a bike that always starts and a battery that will not require replacement, with the attendant expense.
I regard Optimates as a necessity not a luxury and know, from personal experience, that these units last for years without any trouble whatsoever.
Buy one and ensure reliable starting regardless of temperature/weather/climate. You need this charging/maintenance unit and your bike will thank you for the good treatment.Read full review...

Great bit of kit
Simple and effective way to keep any motorcycle battery ready for action. It keeps my 45 year old machine ready to start at all times. Just attached the permanent lead to your battery and simply unplug and plug in when you want to ride your bike. Leave it plugged in when not in use with confidence that the health of your battery is being maintained. Read full review...

Lithium Battery Charger
I didn’t have a lithium battery charger.
Used this opitmate to charge a new car battery that’s lithium rather than the usual acid battery.
It’s only a trickle charger but it worked well
Simple to use with good quality leads and disconnecting plug you can leave permanently on the car.
Lights on charger tell you what’s happening.
Good product. M

Handy little charger. Works on my Lithium Ion battery
Got this to keep my lithium ion battery topped up over this quarantine period. Easy to setup and get charging. Just two minor criticisms:
1) it doesn’t have a numerical display to tell you current battery voltage. Just some icons to let you know what it’s doing
2) the connector lead to fix to your battery terminals has a large fuse box in the middle. So threading it through bike bodywork is cumbersome Read full review...

excellent value with all the necessary features
Good value top quality as are all Optimates I have bought over the uears does everything especially Lithium batteries which are susceptable to voltage variations so the charger has to be capable of only charging upto a certain voltage otherwise Lithium batteries can be seriously damaged .
Great buyRead full review...

Really good charger
Well worth the money. This is the second one that I have purchased, the first one was for a lithium only battery. Oxford oximizer only lasted 12 months, so it was an easy decision to switch over to this dual charge unit, given my previous experience.Read full review...
