My bike came with a battery tender. I have never used it as I ride it to work most every day.
I have to go out of town for a couple of weeks. Do I need to hook it up?
How long can it set without the alarm draining the battery?
Thanks

Won't hurt to hook it up, just to keep your battery peaked.

The security system will go into storage mode after a while.... don't remember how long it takes to do that.

A couple of weeks is not going to drain your battery.

 

If you have it, use it. Batteries are not cheap and using a tender wont hurt a thing.When i get off mine in the afternoon it gets plugged up whether it "needs" it or not.

 

the tender is just good insurance and may save you $$$$ later

 

It may sound like "overkill" but ... Use the tender whenever your scooter is sitting in the garage ... On my older scooters (baggers) I was changing the batteries quite often ...after using the tender my 2009 is going on its' 5th season with no signs of failing ...

 

I always plug in to the tender when bike is garaged.

 

they say if u plug in every time ur done riding for the day, ur battery life will double, or mabe even triple,.

 

As long as you keep it in a garage and you have an outlet handy, it's good insurance to plug it in, anytime it's home..
What can it hurt?

 

I do if not riding any extended period of time just to keep it tip top. There's always a draw on the battery with all the goodies on the bikes these days.

 

Mines is plugged up right now! Won't hurt anything.
