With the cold hitting, Yolie has been getting started a lot less. After a 2 week break, I went out and found her battery dead.

With Ororo, I used to drop the cord from my battery tender out my bedroom window. Problem: I used to live on the 1st floor and now I'm on the 3rd floor. So ive been looking into a solar powered battery tender. Deltran, the makers of the Battery Tender Jr, makes 3:
Solar - Products - Batterytender.com

Anyone have any experience with these? And which size should I be looking at: 5W, 10W or 15W? All 3 provide 12V @270 mAmps.

 

I've no exp with them , but I'd go the largest you can afford to make up for the lack of sun during the colder weather .

 

id go with the 5 or 10 watt, the BT juniors draw 9 watts if that helps you in your decision.

 

I went with the 5W. Ordered it from Amazon for $64. Several buyer reviews mentioned using them for motorcycles without any problem. Size of the solar panel was the decider. Should get here around Thursday.

Once I get an idea of how to mount the panel, I'll post up a review.
