Can't answer your question, but I am in the market for a battery tender as well, so I will give you a bump.

I went with the HD one, it has served me just great, just make sure it has a fuse in between the power source and your batt. I also intalled the permanent setup instead of the clamps.

I plug my bike all the time when I park it.

I hope this helps in some manner,

Mimo.

It's fine, but you're using it on two bikes? If you're moving it from one bike to the other you're defeating the purpose of it. The whole idea is to leave it connected so it will monitor your battery and give it a light charge when necessary. If you have 2 bikes you should have 2 units and keep them both connected 24/7.

Totally agree with BG Weasel, 2 bikes = 2 tenders. They are designed to be left connected permanently when your bike is in the garage/stored. They cycle through a charge/discharge state and are in my opinion, brilliant pieces of kit. I have used one (not the HD mind) for nearly 3 years, no issues at all and never a flat/poor battery.

Isee no use for a battery tender, if you ride your bike regularly.

I have one Battery Tender & two bikes. I just switch it back & forth between the bikes. Works perfectly.

I use this one:

Have it connected to my battery, and another hooked up to the kids quads, works perfect!
