I bought a Shumacher battery charger/maintainer with float mode monitering....6/12 Volts..........Did not work to keep my battey up. Little light was green, too.
Now I have a Battery Tender Jr on it and all is ok........the Shumacher did have all the right cables/leads, but no work.

I'm a big fan of the Battery Tender Jr. I've got 3 going in my garage right now. One on the bike, another on the lawn tractor/snowblower and the last on my son's truck to keep it charged while he is based overseas.

May i make a recommendation? Wrap up the product, take it back to the place of purchase and ask for a refund. then go to your local HD dealer or independent bike shop and purchase a Deltran smart tender plus, it has the cables you need. No cutting, splicing, or making it work. A real good warranty, mine have lasted 8+ years. You could get the smaller "jr" charger or the most popular 1.25 amp charger. These chargers charge the battery then goes into a Monitor mode, float, until the battery drops down to a predetermined voltage and the charger charges again, all automatically. Can't go wrong with this setup, google Deltran and check it out.

Batteries Plus sells the cable you need. I put a cable each of my vehicles....hot rod, ski boat, harley. I just plug th power unit into whichever one I am not using.
