    Good deal. I've used one for two years, on cars and bike, without problem. Also used it on UPS 12v batteries to desulphate them.

    I just bought a second CTEK today They are nice little units, and I love the "quick-connect" harness that I just leave connected to my battery and routed to the tail storage compartment of my bike.

    Hmm, I may be wrong here, but I would be concerned about the 3.3A charge rate. That's much too high for a motorcycle battery.
    As a rule of thumb the charge rate shouldn't be higher than 10% of the battery's Ah (Amp per hour) capacity; anything over 1.5A might be too high for a small battery.
    Again, I'm no expert; just going by what I've learned over the years...
