Lithium batteries are a good choice to save weight and space on a bike, and are becoming a more popular choice for road and track machines.
But they’re also more expensive than a traditional lead acid battery, more prone to damage from being left unattended, and you can’t use the same chargers or maintainers. So it’s worth knowing OptiMate now have a specific bit of kit for lithium batteries.
The OptiMate Lithium 0.8 Battery Maintainer is totally automatic with a Bulk Charge for rapid recovery, a Save Mode for knackered batteries and a ‘Charge and Rest’ maintenance mode with continual monitoring. It’s recommended by battery manufactures and is safe for use with all LiF3PO4/LFPs. It comes with crocodile clips and a weatherproof lead and costs £54.99.
