    I use an optimate for my aprillia and its never let me down. Two connections to the battery terminals which i routed thru the fairing and on the end is a plug which just connects to a lead coming from the optimate charger. Takes about 15seconds to put it on charge after a ride.

    Here's a link http://www.accumate.co.uk/it010003.htm

    optimates are good, Oxford Maximiser 360T Motorcycle Battery Chargers are bloody great.

    it basically keeps the battery in tiptop condition without any thought - just plug it and it does everything, it even tells you what its doing on the lcd screen

    Dunno about the charger you got mate but on my optimate it comes with a lead with 2 crimp lugs on one end which you just connect to the battery terminals and a weatherproof plug on the other. You route the cable thru the fairing and I've got my plug tied to the pillion footrest. On the actual charger unit there is a lead with a socket on which I just have to plug into the plug on my bike. No need to take seat off or anything.

    I think I still have an Optimate I never used, as I sold my bike before I needed to store it for Winter.
