What is everyone using these days? What is the best charger/tender out there price and quality wise? My garage isnt heated and i want to get on for my new bike before it gets cold out. Wanna keep my battery charged all the time. Without damaging it. I did a quick google but most of the suggestions i seen were a few yrs old. Wondering if maybe there is something new out that is better that i dont know about.

 

The die hard that came with my used bike works well enough. I don't know how much they change year to year. When searching, search for boat battery tenders and you will probably find more info. They may be multi bank appear more costly but will give you top brands.

 

battery tender jr works for all 3 of my bikes. There are multibank units but i bought 3 separate units.

 

Deltran Battery Tender 1.25 Amp Battery Charger.....I have three of them for the boat, riding lawnmower, and motorbike.

^ I use a Deltran also on my cars, Camper battery, and Motorcycle.

Never had a issue

 

I have a 4-bank Battery Tender unit in my garage. It was actually slightly more expensive than four individual units, but the convenience factor was worth it to me...

 

Yuasa no longer makes these:

These used to be relatively pricey so probably didn't sell well, but you can still get em from this Canadian supplier who seems to have em in stock. $C43.17 is about 33 bux USD and these "5 phase" tenders are probably the best you'll find for long term or regular use at anywhere near these prices.

I have several of these now, in operation for several years, and my personal experience with them is,, "plug em in and forget em and there'll be zero storage related battery issues to concern yourself about". The units various phases take care of everything.

 

Thanks for the responses guys. I learned the hard way with my last harley. Replaced 3 batterys within a year mainly because i didnt keep it charged. An was hard on it when cold out or the bike had set a while.

 

Thanks for link suggest

 

Deltran Battery Tender Jr. Bought it when I got my Sportster and it gets plugged in after every ride.
