On all my bikes & my brothers bikes over the years we have always used the Battery Tender Plus (link in my first post). Our batteries tend to last about 4 years. We keep them plugged in full time when bikes are in the garage not being ridden.

 

Indiana/Doug called me to get me organized as this is also the one he and others have been using for a while. So I presume it will work out fine, and you won't hear anything else from me. Thanks Indiana.

 

BIN it ..........for us Euro originating chaps .......translates to

Chuck it in the trash can .............Joe

I like Pete use the Optimate 3 ........best smart bike charger around
(Okay.........one of the best bike chargers around) LOL

 

I believe the Shadow man is referring to Desulfation.
Some tenders offer this option. A Walmart one mostlikely will not because Walmart sucks.

 

Wal-Mart sucks???!!! Not WAL-MART!! LOL...

I have two of those little tenders on my bikes atm. I've had my wet cell diehard in my CBR now for about 3yrs using the tender off and on. I intended to buy a nicer one, but the $19 one at wally world was well.... $19 (and right in front of me). It seems to work ok, but it's less than ideal. It does nothing but trickle charge at 1.5A.

 

WalMart is king ......it has Rotella T, WD40, Rifles, Shotguns, Cheap Ammo, Cheap
Beer (& Soda too) and the SuperWalmarts now don't get my sprockets all hot and
bothered gabbing about the sheer exuberance of such humongousness ..........LOL

 

I use this one COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC!!! When she's charged up it dumps juice off. I more or less plug her in and walk away. Even charging a battery for the 1st time. This thing has been LEGIT!!!!

Green = Charging
Green / Red = Full Charge
Green / Red cycle (changing colors) = Charged and not putting more charge till it till she needs it!

Automatically cylces on/off without interference! I do tend to unplug her after a "full" charge, then just throw her back on a few days later if she's dormant.

If your's works, it works. If not ge this one, its great!

Had to show off new tail too Tank is off to the painters Tues???

 

I think that's the same one, micheal. That' the one I'm using.

Michael, make yourself up a cable with two plugs a male and a female .Two pins, one for live, one for earth
Leave the one (female) attached to the battery and tied on with a zip strap somewhere out of sight.
You can then connect your charger without removing the seat every time........
FWIW
