As I'm likely to be off my bike for several months I've decided to invest in a trickle charger. Did some net surfing and found some Aussies who swore by the CTEK trickle chargers, so went around a couple of automotive shops this arvo and came home with a CTEK XS 0.8 from REPCO for $90.
So undid the bolts on the top of the battery terminals, bolted on the short connector plug, plugged the unit into the wall and it scrolled through a couple of the lights on the unit which shows its bringing the battery up to full charge. It is then supposed to trickle the battery to keep it fully charged. With the connector permanently wired in and stored under the seat it'll be more convenient to use, just pop the seat and plug it in.
Has anyone had experience with CTEK trickle chargers, or any other make?
