Default Battery Tender Jr vs Plus

I was looking at battery tenders for the winter storage of my bike. I was trying to figure out which one would be better to preserve the life of my battery. Which way should I go Jr or Plus? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

i dint think it makes any difference as long as you have something on the bike to maintain the battery

And both plug right into the pig tail on the bike? I don't even have to use the clip connectors, right?

The Jr. Tender works just fine and is a little cheaper. It charges at .75, the Plus 1.25 amps. You're better off charging as slow as possible.

Been using my jr. For over 5 yrs. now with no problems. The scoot stays hooked up if I'm not on it.
