I been given an Oxford Oximiser OF950 , but it came without any instructions.
Anybody have one that can advise correct polarity for connecting it to the battery and what the various lights mean ??

Re: Oxford Oximiser
I had one (not sure if it was the of950 ... the lights (IIRC):
green: battery ready
yellow: battery low
orange: battery pretty knackered but might recover
red: dead battery
Polarity ... errrr trying to remember ... red for + and black for - ?
(maybe PM phuk ... he bought mine so has instructions)
Mine also had an extra connector bit that you could attach to the battery and thread thru into the tail unit, then it was dead easy to stick the bike on trickle charge.

Re: Oxford Oximiser
Cheers guys (and as you answered correctly I'll include you in that Jak
)
I have black and black/white leads but as there was no big BANG !! when I connected black/white to +ve I guess I got that bit right.
After 12 hours on charge I have Red/Amber/Yellow but no green so I guess I'll give it another 12 hours and see what happens.
Could be the battery has a cell silted up ??
