The Oxford trickle charger I used didn't seem to be do much good compared with disconnecting negative (I think) and / starting up on occasion when not using the bike.

In my entirely unscientific opinion on the matter batteries even left on charge just don't like not being used. Or at least mine don't with my chargers. I get about 2 or 3 yrs out of a decent yuasa in a bike with a competent charging system. In the last when I used em more they lasted longer.
