UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE OPTIMATE OVER ALL OTHER CHARGERS
Recently BMW owners have reported big problems with the so-called CANBUS electronic management system with which newer bikes like the R1200GS are being equipped. Owing to some muddled thinking in Munich, the CANBUS breaks the contact between the battery and the DC socket (with which the bike is equipped) when the maintenance input current via the socket falls below a seemingly not very consistent level of roughly 200mA, and fails to re-establish this contact, so of course the battery goes flat. Therefore no current gets through to keep the battery topped up.
The Optimate 4 BMW Can Bus Goldline Charger gets over this probelm by keeping the connection open when other chargers would not be able to do this.
