OPTIMATE 4 RECOVERS A DEAD BATTERY

After the garage fire last year I was reluctant to put the CT on a slow charger this summer of 2021while the owners were here. Well the beast did not start after two months sitting down there. So I purchased an Optomate 4 that would recover the dead battery and keep it charged. In the making of this video I went and lost the nut that was on the negative terminal, alas it was never to be found in the internals of the Crosstourer.

Point the plug in facing backwards to ensure no rain ingress

Hi mate invest in one of those telescopic magnet pick up tools, my one has got me of trouble many times.

[@Crosstourertony]

Thanks I will do. Only problem is I could not even see where it went 😭

@@Crosstourertony I had the same problem dropped a small bolt on my car under the bonnet, couldn't see it but I just put my pick up tool down in the area. I fished around and felt a click and pulled it up and there it was first try, the bolt was in an area I couldn't get to by hand as well. It's also a God send if you just drop bolts or nuts on the floor just extend the tool and pick it up, saves bending down which is handy when you getting on in years like me.

It’s nice to have permanent connectors on the bike. We have it on all our bike. I use to alternate the charger between the bikes during the winter and fully charge them once in the month or so. Is your battery still okay? Some battery tend to broke when being deep low on charge.

Hi Joones, thanks for your comment my friend. I must say the battery is in good health. The Phoenix Flyer will be on charge constantly from now on. I did have a problem with the engine fault light staying on but I found the solution on KZbin. Now all is normal again. I'm getting excited as I have told my boss I will retire at the end of this year. Scandinavia here I come 😅😅

Good to hear 👍 Scandinavian is waiting for you 😀

Dear sir thanx! Is that an afternarket windscreen you got there ? If yes what make, any good & is it better than the original Honda windscreen ?

When my lead acid battery died on me I thought a lithium battery that takes 6 minutes to fully charge
