Battery Tender/ Power Outage Question

Battery Tender/ Power Outage Question
My neighbor has a generator that is hard-wired to his home's electrical panel. As he describes it the generator "backward feeds" the power to the panel and then to the open circuits.
My question: if a battery tender is plugged into the bike and an outlet, in the situation of a power outage does the bike's battery "backward feed" into the home's power system and drain the battery?
Seems like both scenarios are the same.
(Minutia like that gets me to over-think stuff)
Thanks.

No, BUT...the resulting power surge when the power comes back on can fry your ecm.because the tenders are not rated to prevent it...so better have the tender plugged into a anti-surge device.
There...that should keep you up until 3 am.
