Re: Thoughts on using Battery Tenders?

A give three thumbs up to battery tenders...they're SOP in the motorcycle world. If you really want to go for the gold, get one that also has a "conditioner" or "equalizer" etc. There's a ton of names for this feature but what it does (supposedly) is keep the creeping crud from accumulating on the plates so the reserve stays as high as possible and you get a longer service life out of the battery.

Whatever you get, make sure it is self regulating and can be left hooked up and charging 24/7 without any chance of over-charging...in other words, not a plain Jane "trickle charger"
