I have a couple of optimates which I use for car and bike no probs ,but the 2 I have from Aldi operate with different settings for each.When using the optimate on a car battery it takes a couple of days to fully charge,

Well that sounds like a plan.
Just buy a cheap lidl optimate and hook er up at work.
You surely should be safe for the winter !!
In the mean while ask a allowance from the government for driving a hybrid !!:doug

lol... hybrid eh !? :biggrin
iv given the Southern Cross guys 3 attempts now... its cost me around £250 in all with them & still got the same problem... they're scratchin there heads now !?
thought id get a 2nd opinion... but im worried now... but atleast they must be better than Chas Bikes... gulp !? :dowhat
cant afford spending anymore money if she keeps dying every week or 2... perhaps i better give up & let some who has a garage & optimate take care of her !? :inlove

Now that you've received Dr Rossi chip, install it and see how it goes. I agree with you in looking for a 2nd opinion. SC could not find the problem with my bike in 4 attempts. At the end it was only a dodgy coil. My point is that a couple of new eyes can look at the problem from another perspective and hopefully sort it out. Good luck :thumbup

What are you measureing the voltage with ?
But yes you can.
A motorcycle battery you may charge with max around 3 amps
More could kill it.

feck... feck... feck... im the biggest knobster going !! :doug
Re: Halfords reply - No its a power pack not a battery charger. It can jump start a low charged battery but will not act as a full charger !!
apparentley the charging status on the Powerpack is the status of the 'actual' powerpack if you want too use it too jump a vehicle... & not the charging status of my battery that has been connected for several hours to a powerpack jump starter !! :jack

That surely not the charging capacity.
Since a few years the chip that charges and monitors the battery has become available for evey body.
So now you can get a good charger/monitor like a optimate for around 20,-
Get one.
