With the winter coming up, you'll probably use you bike less often. This pause comes with its risks.

All major starter battery manufacturers recommend maintaining batteries fully charged during periods of non-use. If you don't keep it charged, the lead plates will get covered with sediment from the acid. This process called sulfation will diminish the chemical reaction that's needed to provide power. The voltage in your battery will severely drop and your bike may not start when you want to take it for a ride. Sulfation is a nasty process that's practically impossible to turn around. However, as long as the 12 volt battery has two volts of capacity, the Optimate III SP can heal it!
Better safe then sorry though. The Optimate III SP is not just a healer, it's totally safe for months-long connection and maintenance of irregularly or seasonally used batteries even while still connected to the vehicle. There is absolutely no risk of over-charging and it's electronically protected against user errors. Just connect the Optimate III SP to your battery, the rest is automatic. There is no switch, no fuse and there are no dangerous sparks. Plus, it de-activates automatically if connections are broken.
The Optimate III SP is the most advanced fully automatic diagnostic battery charger and maintainer for all 12V lead-acid batteries from 2,5 to 32 Ampère-hours capacity. The Optimate III SP is splash proof too.
Five major motorcycle manufacturers have confirmed their trust in the Optimate III SP charger and highly recommend it. The Optimate III SP 's unique diagnostic function automatically identifies deeply discharged (sulphated) batteries and applies a controlled high voltage with small fixed current for a limited period to recover them.
Delivered with two interchangeable connection sets, one with clamps for bench charging (TMAMCLAMP), the other with in-line battery protection fuse and eyelet terminals for permanent attachment to the battery posts of on-vehicle batteries (TMAMEYE) for subsequent easy connection and disconnection of the charger. This accessory, order code TMAMEYEDL, has a unique weatherproof rubber cover which protects the 2-pole charging cable connector against dirt and damp when the charger is not connected.
