Gas_Up_Lets_Go is on a distinguished road
Although it doesn't say, my post was realy directed at anyone with a similar problem, reading it later. No use to you as you have already purchased the Optimate.

Optimates are designed to be plugged into the bike (or battery in your case) constantly. However as the battery is out of the bike I would be inclined to give it an overnight boost once a month and maybe a few constant days before you intend to use it again. I am presuming you have the battery stored inside, out of the way of low temps ?
