Bahco battery chargers and maintainers are fully automatic and micro-processor controlled. Being of the "connect and forget" - type means that you hook them up to your motorcycle battery in periods of non-use and you need not care about the device until you want to go for a ride. The charger/maintainer will automaticcaly keep the optimum charge for your battery.<br />The device cannot be damaged by reversed polarity. It will automatically check the battery state and type and chose the appropriate charging program:<br /><ul><li>Recovery</li><li>Softstart</li><li>Bulk mode</li><li>Absorption</li><li>Monitoring</li><li>Float mode</li><li>Maintain.</li></ul><br />A practical hook on its back side allows for hanging it out of the way in convenient areas. Besides the common crocodile clips, the charger/maintainer comes with a 7.5 A fused harness with 6 mm ring connectors, that has a protected SAE plug.<br />A 3 LED charging stage display informs about the progress. The charger/maintainer works with any lead-based 6 V 6 Ah - 12 Ah or 12 V 12 Ah - 48 Ah vehicle battery. Max. output current is 2 A. The device is splashproof (IP 54).

The best cables on the market for this purpose. They are derived from the computer industry and offer excellent conductivity with a minimum of voltage drop during cranking. Made from 1,666 tinned strands of copper wire with durable, gold-plated(!) lugs but still are very flexible for trouble-free installation in tight areas.

Terminal and thumb screw assembly which can be mounted on any suitable place on the motorcycle. It connects the battery’s ground (negative) terminal and cable with the frame.
After installation you have two options:

• use your Kill Bill Switch like an ignition switch. Half a turn out and the current is interrupted.
• use your Kill Bill Switch as protection from manipulation and theft. When you leave your bike remove the thumb screw and thus disconnect the battery from the electrical system.

Modern gel or Li-Ion batteries offer a significant advantage - they are leak-proof. Those who ever experienced spilled acid in the battery tray, on the frame, on the swingarm, etc. will highly appreciate this fact. On the other hand, owners of classic bikes do like the looks of their original energy store and the corresponding cover and mounts. With a Bates BattBoy Battery Box you can have the best of both worlds, because what looks like a period 32 amp 12V accumulator on the outside can house a safe, modern battery within. Just hook it with two eyelet wires to the terminals on the bottom of the lid and you are all set. When using suitable Antigravity versions you even have storage room left for a few small spare parts, safety vest, emergency beer, etc. Ain´t this one heck of a cool solution for an old problem?
