Did you get the BMW bucket with that sponge? the bucket hold's the water like no other bucket I've owned, a lot better than the cheaper buckets that are made in China and re-branded :enjoying:

It charges fine but if like me you don't get to ride as often as you like, once it has done it's job it can then stop keeping it charged. The Optimate keeps the socket awake no matter how long it is plugged in for. And I am talking about a 2016 RT Iconic where after 2 weeks I had to unplug and plug the charger back in and let it get to around 40% before the bike would start. And the downside to there not being enough power is it resets all the menu items to default.
I have the BMW charger and I have not had this problem at all. The charger runs it’s maintenance cycle every 24 hours. Perhaps your charger was faulty ?
