Pros: easy to fit., does what it's meant too!, hassle free
Cons: can't think of any at all!
"I Bought this trickle charger for my Yamaha Dragstar which is stored in the garage at the moment. When I went to start her up a few weeks ago, I had to bump start her as the battery was very low due to the alarm being on constantly. The hardest part about hard wiring the charger was getting the cover on the bike off to get to the battery!!! Once off it was a 5 minute job to connect the wiring and get the battery on charge.The cable is plenty long enough as well with a two pin connector at the battery end which, on my bike, I can tuck away out of sight behind the panel.
I went back to the bike a week later and the charger had changed from 80% charge down to trickle charge. I turned the alarm off and started the bike. First turn and off it went. No problem at all."

"This Charger is excellent value for money and as its a 1.25 Amp charger its just the right charge for My 14 AH & 12 AH Motorcycle battery's anything over 2 Amp would not be good for a small low AH Motorcycle Battery's. Also this charger works excellently on both my Sealed Gel & Lead Acid Battery's."

"So far so good. I was looking at the Oxford products equivalent but several reviews suggested questionable quality. This is a well made seemingly robust litttle.charger which so far (only had it 2 weeks, hence only 4 stars fo performance) does what it claims. After having several close calls as to whether the bike would start or not (the last time triggering this purchase) the bike now kicks over every morning with the battery sounding healthy."

Pros: the extra lead saves disconnecting battery
Cons: none!!!
"Excellent product, one of the best purchases I've ever made. I do not use my bike on a regular, daily basis, and I was fed-up wondering if the battery would be flat when I do go to use it. I no longer worry about that, because this gadget charges the battery, and keeps it topped up. It has a sensor hat when the battery starts to lose charge, it switches on and tops it up, job done, goes into rest mode. Brilliant!!! The extra lead saves having to take panel off bike.....well worth it."

Pros: two types of connectors supplied
"I have two motorcycles and they are only used a couple of days per week at most, so the batteries need to be topped up regularly, this charger should save me time and money in preventing battery damage and extending the life of both batteries, it will also mean that both machines are ready for use when I want them. The connecters for the unit are great, I have connected the permanent battery connections supplied to my touring bike and the additional crocodile connecters are used on my sports bike, this means that both bikes can be put on charge on alternative days without removing body panels as now only the seat needs to be removed for access to the charging connectors on the tourer, and the sports machine battery can be connected easily from under the seat."

"Well i bought this since i had to get a brand new battery and hence needed to charge it. The guys at the shop and myself wernt 100% sure it would be good for charging fresh battery as its only 1.25amp 'maintenance' charger. But after looking in the instructions it does a fast charge to 80% and then slow charge after that (and then can be left attached to the bike also, for you 'fair-weather' riders with garages haha).
Anyway was charged the next morning good and ready for use, so ye effective and pretty happy with it."

Pros: has permanent leads
Cons: slow only if battery totally flat
"Bought this after being put off by the high prices of the market leaders. This is easy to use, has permanent bike leads (which is what I wanted) so you can leave the bike on charge without taking out the battery and it won't overcharge the battery.
Fixed charging current of 1.25amps means it is fine for all batteries except those that are VERY deeply discharged which will take a long time to charge. A 12.5Ah totally flat battery will take approx 10 hours to charge up for example (10 times 1.25)"

Pros: time saving when keeping you battery in condition
Cons: none
"I got this charger as i wanted one that would give the battery a gentle charge which this does. it cames with two types of connectors one a set of crocodile clips and the other ring treminals so that they can fit permanantly so that when you want to charge just connect to the plug. well worth the money"

"Easy fitted with wire to enable plugging in for trickle charging so that bike seat and tank in my case does not need to be removed to connect charger to battery. Charges at higher rate until battery is almost charged then goes to a lower rate to keep battery fully charged."
