I don't think that any of these chargers (Optimate and CTek 3600) are good for those that like me use a bike battery (10 - 12aH).
I do have a bike that has the same battery as the R1, and the manual says to use a charger puting out a max of 1,5 amp.
On the other hand, the CTek Multi XS 800 seems a very valid option.
For those using a car battery, the 3600 seems quite good.
Marc: the new plane  uses a 12v battery and after leaving your place it will never stop again  thanks.

Optimate is specifically for bike batteries. Ive used one for many years on bikes and jetskis, Ive never had a problem. Ive even seen it recover a
battery from a mates ZXR from about 3.5v which we considered to be completely dead.
They are the single most used charger on the bike world but I do know more and more people are using Oxford Oximisers.
I cant see why any of these would present problems for a bike battery.
IIRC the optimate3 puts out about 0.5 amps charge which is ideal for keeping the battery fresh with no risk of overcharging.
