jezza 0 Posted February 8, 2012 I did have an halfords bike it one , however it did not last long and as I lost the receipt I could not change it , I now have the oxford optimiser 900 which comes with a wall bracket,connector which you can leave attached to the bike and crocodile clips.The screen is digital , it boosts , trickles and maintains the battery....so far seems a good bit of kit.
