My Triumph branded Optimate 3+ is still good after about 20 years. I also have a small Noco Genius 1 which is good for 6 volt and Lithium too. Finally for the big car batteries I use a Ring RSC608 which is versatile and can be configured for different charging rates up to 8 amps. The Ring has a noisy fan so its probably not that efficient.

I've had an Optimate III SP for many years, and it still works fine. But I only use it occasionally.

Just bought a Noco Genius from Halfords for £15 or £13.50 with trade card.

Not listed on the website so believe it to be stuff no longer sold. None in Totenham hale, as I had the last one.

Good luck.

I've just bought a Noco 1 from Halfrauds (with 10% off if bought online, I ordered it while stood in the shop to save a fiver).

I've just replaced the battery in the GS, so I've got it attempting to revive the old one.

I'm going to put a charge lead on the Beemer as it's the only bike I've got that drains the battery when left. The Bullet and the GSXR fire up fine after winter. I can't believe they want £20 for one tho'
