I purchased this charger as I don't have a mains supply for my 900 oximiser, I fitted it in about 15 minutes. I have only fitted a couple of days ago, so I am not sure what the performance of the charger will be, it's made well and the instructions are simple to follow, I am using it in the Oxford bike cover with the built in panel for the solar charger.
The product is well made and easy to use mine is fixed inside a shed window and appears to be working as it only needs light to work and the blue light is flashing on the unit.
It comes with a variety of connections I use the cigarette lighter connection but I had to buy a converter to connect it to the Din socket that is fixed to my Triumph as standard.
I was surprised it worked at all in over cast cloudy but bright weather. small enough to take on holiday or when away from home for a few days on your bike and do not have access to a mains charger to maintain the battery. cheap enough at the reduced price to give it a try. I wouldn't leave it attached to bike out in the street for obvious reasons
We have a couple of bikes in the back garden kept under Oxford Stormex covers. This was ideal for those as they have a window pouch for the Solariser. I had to keep topping up my partners bike battery and this has solved that perfectly.
I was happy enough with it to get another one for my bike.
Easy to connect to my bike seems to be working well, quick postage as always
Does as it says on the tin. My only grievance is that the wire became frayed and eventually split on my old one, so only lasted a couple of years. Not really fit for the purpose they're sold for, as clearly the sun has ages the insulation on the wire.
Have to stand my bike outdoors for a while, bought the Oxford storm cover to protect it but the battery kept going flat with the cold weather.
Purchased this Optimiser which fitted into the clear pocket of the cover and now battery is kept fully charged, without using any mains electricity. Brilliant.
I will fix to the new shed once its built.
Why not use the daylight to to keep your battery topped up, it won't work every day but the battery does not need charging every day, only topping up to maintain the float voltage.
Good build quality and easy to install
Well happy, had one of these before and it lasted a good ten tears before it gave up the ghost, if this one does as well I'll be as happy, great service from sports bike shop as usual.
Not being totally waterproof is not a problem as I still had the waterproof box with the clear front on it to keep it out of the rain, but I knew that when I got it.
What a great little product. My Bike lives outside, this slots into the clear pouch on my Oxford Stormex. Totally self contained system. Brilliant.
Usual great service from SBS as usual.
I purchased an Oxford Solariser Optimiser from Sports Bike Shop and after about 4 weeks it stopped working. I contacted Sportsbikeshop Customer Services and they said they would send me a replacement and a postage paid sticker to return the faulty Oxford Solariser Optimiser.
Within a few days the replacement arrived with the return postage paid sticker to return the faulty Oxford Solariser Optimiser.
Sportsbikeshop Customer Services 11/10 - a rare thing in today's world. Many Thanks to Sportsbikeshop for their very reasonably priced quality products with a vast range of goods, their very fast delivery service and their 1st class customer services,
Great product, does exactly what the description states. Easy to install. Fantastic
Useful for me as I've not got a close power socket to trickle charge the bike. Seems to keep the bike topped up but only reason not 5 stars it it doesn't feel robust and not sure how good if hit by bad weather.
Bought 1 as a trial on a boat to keep echo sounder battery topped up. It was outside exposed to the weather for about 3 months without problem, despite not being sold as fully waterproof. Purchased 3 more for other boats.
Bought an Oxford cover and saw the slot for the Solariser and thought it was such a good idea, was pleased when I saw that it was fairly inexpensive also.
Keeps my bike topped up when not used.
Will see how it works in the winter months.
Good Price

Recently bought my 3rd, as I bought another bike & Oxford cover.
I bought two of these Solariser chargers by Oxford Products. I had an Auto-electrician wire one to my WAV minibus as and one to my car. They immediately gave excellent charge readings when measured. So definitely worth the money, but even better from SportsBikeShop as they were half the RRP. They are easy to mount with plenty of cable and the size is just right. Recommend

Questions and Answers
Do they sell an extension cable, I need about a metre longer.
December 16, 2024There is an extension cable available, which can be found on quick find number 343544.
The output of my solar charger is over 20V, can this damage the battery? I only ask as my battery just died and I did have the solar charger plugged in over a long period of time. It may just be a coincidence as the bike is over 10 years old and I does not know how old the battery is. Thanks.
May 1, 2019It is normal for this Solar Optimiser to read over 20V when disconnected from a battery. It has been designed to be used on all 12V batteries for long periods of time and will reduce the power output automatically when connected. Please note however that if the battery drops below a certain voltage (usually 8V), this optimiser may not be able to recover the battery.
Will it charge the battery without the ignition switches on via the cigarette lighter socket
September 24, 2018Unfortunately the ignition would need to be left on as the 12v socket is a switched live.
Hi Is this solariser ok for keep permanently on my Harley AGM battery?
August 14, 2018The eyelet leads are designed to be left on your motorcycle battery. You can then simply disconnect the solar panel from the eyelet connector when you want to use your motorcycle.
Will this SAE adapter enable me to connect this to my exisiting SAE connector on the battery - http://www.oxfordproducts.com/motorcycle/brands/oxford/battery_care_and_power_accessories/3mtr_extension_lead_sae_to_sae_connector/?PHPSESSID=d6n54jssgdhtc3t25jplsq2cj2
April 23, 2018Unfortunately this is not possible, as the Solariser does not use the SAE or TM style connectors, apologies.
Does this come with an SAE connector that will fit into the optimate connector already attached to my battery...if not how else do I quickly connect without lifting the seat each time.
October 27, 2017Unfortunately it is not supplied with an SAE connector, but it is supplied with its own connector that can be attached to the battery.
Hi is this charger ok for lithium ion battery for my 2007 400cc beta cross bike. Thanks
September 14, 2017We would not recommend the use of this charger on a lithium battery as they require a specific charging program.
Will it charge the battery via the 12V outlet on my V-Strom 1000 when ignition is off?
August 22, 2017Unfortunately the ignition would need to be left on as the 12v socket is a switched live.
Is the unit waterproof
August 14, 2017The Oxford Solariser is designed to be light weatherproof. It can therefore be used outside but is not waterproof and will not withstand heavy rain or being submerged.
How long is the lead ?
February 24, 2017The main power lead is approximately 8 feet in length.
