Default Battery Tenders

Where did you guys purchase your battery tenders from? My bike is going to be sitting in the garage while the snow flies and I want the keep the battery in top shape while its doing so. Does anyone have a recomendation on a specific battery tender?

Thanks,
Greg

Yep, Battery tender jr. like in Schu's pic. Available here at Pep Boys don't know if you have them in your neck of the woods but any auto parts store like Auto Zone etc. should have them

I have heard some reports that the Jr doesn't work well in unheated garages,three years with mine and no problems,so far.

I have the Battery Tender Jr. as well. No issues or complaints. I got mine online at Motorsport.com. Any bike shop in your area should have it. It's worth the investment.

Just picked one of the Battery Tenders up a couple months ago at Wally world for my fourwheeler for something like $20-25.
