Optimate 4

Pottering about in the Wizard Shed, messing with things I don't strictly need to.

Looking at the Optimate 4, fitting the battery cable to the ER-6F.

Got my first bike and had absolutely no clue how to charge the battery and had no one to ask. This has been super useful, thank you

For optimal performance, it's recommended to connect the motorcycle cables first, and then the Optimate charging leads (so they are on top not between). This configuration helps minimize resistance, ensuring efficient battery charging and preventing potential issues when the bike is in use.

Hi, I followed the install but when re connecting the black I noticed the rev needle jumped to maximum and stayed there. Any ideas why this happened? I have not dared turn the ignition on!! Thanks

May I ask, how do you learn about this kind of stuff? I wouldn’t have a clue what I’m looking at 🤭

Battery in my beemer k1200s is flat my own fault from lack of use, I have an optimate 4, can I leave battery charging all night ! Does the charger stop charging once battery is charged ! Safe to let it charge all night !

I hate this charger. Would it have been so difficult for the company to design the bloody thing easier to understand
