As far as I can see from the specs that will limit your battery to 13.7v which is below the gassing point but is not quite fully charged ....

This type allow you to set the bulk voltage and the float (maintenance voltage) but are way more expensive, this one is probably way too powerful as well .. but just trying to show the differences available

Ok, but the way I see it, it is 13.8v more than my bike ever has when I want to use it !!

Batteries are just strange. Our 2.5TD will got for weeks without problems, and then for no apparent reason get a dead battery. Wifey *claims* she hasn't left any loads on. I've put a new battery on to see what happens. And keep the old one charged with the CTEK.

I have an Optimate4 for bikes and CTEK MXS 5.0 for cars (also has motorcycle mode).

Use Optimate on bikes only.
Use CTEK on both.

Batteries seem to be okay with this maintenance regime.

Cheers, mc9
