Well I finally found one of those Wal-mart trickle charges for the battery with the Quick connect attachment. Only can't find what size socket to remove the neg screw at the frame . Help ! .........WVleo

 

Is it a trickle charger or a tender?
there's a big difference

 

Mines a standard 1/4-20 flange nut. That would be a 7/16 socket.

And yea, if it's a trickle charger, take it back and get a float charger.

 

Thanks, It's a Schumacher Battery Maintainer, full auto with float-mode monitoring 1.5amp , $20 at wal-mart. And now it has the quick connect installed. I lightly dremelled all connectors and applied die electric grease . So now can this stay plugged in all the time ? It's a 12v system right ? It's not a firearm so I don't read the instructions ( Wife calls this discrectionary brain fart ) . I called it a trickle charge from back in the day, getting old I guess ........ Later, WVleo

 

Yep, a float charger can stay on 24/7 and yes, 12V.
I figured you probably got a float charger, but after hundreds of threads on this subject, some people still don't understand the difference and it makes for an expensive mistake.

 

a schumacher eh?
should be some fine German engineering behind that unit then

 

Same one I bought, and yes, it's a float charger. Can be connected to the battery all winter. Dielectric grease is a good idea to resist corrosion, but what did you have to dremel? Just burnishing the contacts, or was something not fitting right?

I used the extra SAE connector from the Wal-Mart box on my lawnmower. Did it need triming for the scoot's battery? The dealer had already put a battery lead on the bike when I bought it, and it pluged into the charger without any problems.

 

OHhhh, it aint no count....Take it back!!!!!


j/k

 

yeh, with a name like that....it's definatley a piece of.....

 

Yeah was just cleaning up the connections with the dremel, everything fits fine. Going out tommorrow it's gonna be in the 60's......WVleo
