Oxford EL570 Oximiser 900 Essential Battery Management System, Black/Yellow

Wow. I expected so much more than what I got.For starters the build quality is pretty awful. Although the case has a nice satin rubber feel to it, it feels flimsy and fragile. The screen has a thin piece of old-school phone screen protector film over it, so it wouldn't survive a drop. The cables are all very thin and stuff, and don't feel as though they are going to withstand the potential strain of the job that they going to do.The crocodile clips are small, and if like me, you are prone to having accessories wired direct to the battery thenn you will struggle fitting these crocodile clips to the connectors.The voltage and current readouts aren't the most accurate (they are off by around 5 percent compared to 2 multimeters) but they are within the range I would be comfortable with.The charger has the benefit of a separate wall mount bracket which is handy as I sometimes need 5o move the unit around and having to unscrew a whole charger can be tiresome.Back to the screen. There is zero visibility if you aren't looking at it straight on horizontally. Vertically it isn't so bad.This unit was to replace a temporary AA branded 12v charger. Honestly, the AA charger was much better for the money and the time that it worked for.Honestly? I can't recommend this charger for the price point that it's at. I know that there are other chargers, some cheaper, some more expensive, all of which would give you better value and performance for your money.

Finally, no more pushing the bikes up and down the road to bump start. We can keep motorbike batteries topped up through winters and lock downs with ease. Really easy to connect to the battery, the display is really clear. The length of the lead from unit to plug could be long, but just bought an extension lead which works fine. This is keeping 2 bikes fully charged, just swap the charger over every few weeks.

My bike already had the Battery management plug attached to the battery, so this was a no brainer for me, but even so, I simply plug in the battery charger / conditioner (it does both at the same time) and that's it.I've mounted this on the garage wall and use it whenever the bike stands for a while.Very easy to use and simple to wall mount.I am very pleased

I already have an optimate 3 and the Oxford 600.The Optimate is a better quality product but it's considerably more expensive. I'm quite happy with both the Oxford 600 and this purchase of the 900. The 900 gives you more information regarding the charging re the LCD screen. The one thing I don't like is the cable lengths- they are very short compared to optimate. Factor in an extra £7 for an extension cable as you will most likely need one as it won't reach your bike if wall mounted.

On the face of it this is a great piece of kit, pretty simple and intuitive to use, and very handy. However, it's rendered almost unusable by the ridiculously short lengths of the cables supplied with it. This might just about work if you keep your bike in the garage and park it right next to a power socket, but otherwise it creates a situation that's a total faff. The unit isn't waterproof, so if you keep your bike outside as I do, then I'd suggest avoiding this product. Given that adding an extra couple of metres of cable would have cost Oxford only a few pence in the manufacturing process, it seems like unnecessary penny-pinching.
