For what it's worth, I run a CTEK connector and charger - especially easy when the shop leaves the connector on at time of sale. CTEK also makes a BMW-branded charger/maintainer, so I suspect there's some price incentive for the dealers.

(I bought a CANbus-compatible Optimate 4, but didn't like it as much, so it maintains the battery on my Honda generator and serves as a spare should the CTEK die.)

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14
What brand of battery charger do you use? While not cheap, the CTEK chargers are very good.

The only downside I see (and it's small) with your current set-up is the need to get CTEK adapters for heated clothing, etc.......

Last season I used a Battery Tender (brand). By the time I began to search for a smart tender, the weather was breaking enough for me to ride it a time or two per week, so it was a non-issue. This year I will definitely be picking up a smart tender, though, so I'll give Ctek a look.

How do you expect for me to KNOW my limitations when I haven't even MET them yet?!
