M1200 battery charger.

15-04-2018, 10:11 AM

Hi guys,

My battery is a little low and I need a charger. Seems as though it'll need to plug into the diagnostic port. The oem one might be the best bet but I'm wondering what the other options are?

Looks like just the usual Oxford etc but with an adapter. Any reason not to go for the oem one?

Cheers, Alex.

No reason Ducati Aylesbury sell both.

I like my Optimate 4 with I think the 047 adapter.

I’ve used a ctek on my bikes for a good few years now. Good bit of kit.

I purchased the optimate plus adaptor lead, works a treat, also less expensive than OEM.

Another vote for Ctek & Optimate here. I really like the Ctek items just a nadge more for some reason. Apart from BMW chargers, I think these two are the only ones that have a battery dignostic mode.
