Email. And it won't unless you've logged in and then activated that feature.

I would like to keep the tracker so will get the BMW battery maintenance charger to plug into the under-seat accessory socket.
beware that it does wakeup to do maintenance some bike are having problem

Can you explain what you mean please?
Also, what lead is required for an Optimate 4 to connect via the seat or dash power supply? - thanks.
I use this when optimate 4 is in canbus mode, if optimate 4 is dual mode capable

I have an Optimate 4 with canbus charging option. The instructions clearly state that the device will not damage the ECU if the battery is connected to the bike when charging. This applies whether connecting via the accessory socket or direct to the battery.
The Optimate 4 is able to sense if the battery has a load connected. If the battery has a load then the device will bypass using desulphate or deep discharge mode.
If someone has a sulphated or deep discharged battery then they can attempt to recover it with the Optimate 4 by removing the battery from the bike and making sure the device is in normal (non canbus) mode and see what happens. This might explain why some deep discharged batteries are written off as, "the Optimate could not recover it."
I have put the battery back in the bike and left it in the garage - It is unlikely that I will get a chance to ride it until next weekend, it will be interesting to see if it starts next then.
If the battery sat discharged long enough during those initial two weeks, it will most probably be damaged. Will recharge quickly, but won’t hold it. They are small batteries. I’d double check it anyway (before getting a battery tender as well)
I'll find out tonight, the bike has been sitting unused since last Sunday.
Weird.
12.0 is a dead battery.
Maybe the voltmeter is the one that is dead.
I don’t use my bikes that much anymore. Each of them is connected to a battery tender and I stopped having to faff with dead and dying batteries or worrying about non starting bikes during winter.

the ON SCREEN voltmeter is not showing the voltage on the battery with no load. The ignition will be on and various modules on the bike will be drawing current.
