Yes, but if it doesn't have the "tender" feature then disconnect it once the battery is fully charged.

2 hours at 6 Amp should be enough to start it.

Sorry to hijack thread. Wondering if it's ok to always use a battery tender between rides. Generally ride every weekend. Will this hurt my battery life?
Thx.

I leave mine connected to a C-Tek charger all the time when not riding.....no problems yet. Battery is approx. 4 years old and still going strong.

My battery is 6 years old. I always have it on the battery tender during the entire winter, never during riding season.
