Do I need a trickle charger

[Deleted User] · 2021-01-08 17:10:20

Obviously working from home the bike isnt really getting used whereas it would have been used every day, wondering do I need to get one of these trickle chargers for it? I have no experience as I have never had bike lay up without being used daily. Its a brand new bike/battery if that makes any difference. Its stored…

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.
