my uncle uses optimate cost around £45 from ebay,
but i have just purchased one from autoplus in norton for no more then £15 and does same job, and bloke in the shop said he uses 3 of them in different places.
streetwize accessories, car & motorcycle 12 volt automatic trickle charger its called,.
i bought this mainly as my battery kept going flat,. then i realised that i kept leaving heated grips on,. but fixed that now wired it into the ignition switch. but still will use it for days like these where bikes going to be garaged till snow clears up.

My optimiser packed in, so I got one of them £5 ones from Lidl, which has worked fine for 3 or 4 years.

look on the bright side with the collection of bikes you have its not a bad thing to have more than one charger.
