I remember a few years ago you advising to plug the bike into the battery tender after you're done riding. I have been doing that ever since you offered that tip. It sure doesn't do any harm and when I plug it in I notice the red light is on the tender after I just got done riding indicating a slight discharge. After a short time on the tender it turns green again. Besides, if I want to listen to tunes from my bike in the garage, keeping it plugged in to the BT doesn't discharge the battery!
I also have a Yuasa, which I do not recommend. It doesn't seem to have a maintain cycle, and will boil a wet cell battery dry (you have a sealed batt.). Almost all tenders have the SAE connector (look at a pic before buying) and an extention with alligator clips for other batteries. Yes, they just plug in and do their job.
Breeze, I laughed out loud when I read the light flashing on the "desulfator pulse" made you feel good to see it flash. Very reassuring knowing that the desolator pulse light is in good working order!Battery Tender brand is the most popular. I have 2 chargers, a Battery Minder +, which has a "desulfater pulse" built in. I can't attest to the success of the "desulfator pulse", but it makes me feel good seeing the light flash.
Ebay is an easy place to compare 12v charger features and prices, then buy local or on-line.
