Default Battery Tender Jr. 19.99

For those that need a trickle charge...

Seemed like a good deal but I live in SoCal and have no use for one of these...

I've had one for years. When I don't use it on my bike I keep it on my old truck, that has a drain on the battery I can't find. That is about the price I paid.

Not a trickle charge but tender. And why would living in CA have no need? It can actually prolong the life of the battery even in warmer climates.

FYI for newbies - it's not a Trickle charger, it's a Float charger.
Trickle chargers will cook your battery.

The last time I remember 2 hurricanes a week apart was Hugo and Iris in South Carolina in 1989. Hugo of course was the big one. Would not want to ride through it.

I purchased two of them recently. Shopped around quite a bit and paid more than that.

They can be had on Ebay for about $24 shipped.
