We just go on a local A road and keep it in a lower than normal gear, 3rd I seem to remember and its about 55-60mph. It does seem strange but it's only once or twice a year.

What would happen if I connected my 12v ctek charger to the 6v battery on the c90?
It does have a motorbike function but not 6v.

Are both the C90s 6v? Connect them in series to give a 12v and charge that.

It'll fry ..have you got another 6 volt from another bike and charge them both together , wired in series ? The solar panel battery charger on my shed roof kicks out 22v disconected , but connected to a tired 12v battery reads 11.9V . Its only 18watts or something , i didn't think it would be enough kill the battery as that is what it's meant for .... it' s running a fan directly , in the shed drying out logs at the mo , suprisingly powerful!

Nah the other C90 is 12v.
I've been and treat myself to argos's finest do it all for £30. The price of them have come right down.
I needed on sharpish as the indicators have gone off. The boy and I are taking them both to that bike meet later to try and flog one. I really don't want to sell one. I've had a good run on it this afternoon and it's spot on.
Anyone want this ctek smart charger?

If you don't want to sell it why are you?
I mean it's not like you're short of money is it?
