Optimate for charging.

A battery charging question. My tdv8 2007 (56) is used infrequently during the week. I have an
Optimate Accumate 3 6-12 Volt
MTXACC That I use for my motorbike. I like the idea of keeping the l322 crashed with this charger and a breakaway lead. I'm freaked by all talk if the wrong charger and canbus compatibility. Any thoughts on if this charger is up to the job or if I need to invest in another one?

Cheers

Hi
I use a Gunson charger on bike and Range Rover, senses when battery charged, no issues to date. Optimate would be fine I would have thought, as it does the same

That's a nice set up ironhorse, like the easy just in case drive off plug If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

I like that set up as well.

Where did you get the plug that fits into the towing electrics, from, may I ask.
