Default Battery Tender

Now that I have two bikes it will be a little harder to ride both all winter long so will most likely start using a tender, what are you guys running, after 30 years of riding, I’ve never had one.

Stay away from the Stanley brand. I started a thread about that while back. All 3 of them would never show a full charge on my Harley. They would on my tractor and my V65 Magna and Yamaha Vmax but not the RGS. (Security system maybe?) I use a schumacher on Harley.

Been using these for 10 years, only had one of them crap out in that time period adn that was probably my fault as I dropped it pretty hard on the concrete floor.

when ever not in use. like for each bike to have its own stand alone unit.

If you think you will switch to Lithium Life at some point get a dual purpose charger. I put one in and can’t see ever going back to the old heavy brick batteries. There are pros and cons of each though so not a no brainer for everyone
