Hi all
The original battery on my 2014 F700GS is getting a little tired it seems and while it does start the bike, it’s progressively slower at turning it over. I, from time to time keep it on my Optimate III charger but find now during the winter and longer in between rides that it still doesn’t whizz it over starting as it used to.
My question is, after speaking to BMW this morning on having a new one during its service on Tuesday and finding out the price are Lithium batteries ok to be charged with my Optimate? I’m looking at getting one from a third party supplier after finding out the BMW original cost, but don’t want have to buy a new charger if I don’t have to.
Otherwise I’ll just get a standard type and continue with my charger.
Thanks
Andrew
