I may put my Dyna in storage for a few months, and I was planning on disconnecting the neg terminal, since where it will be doesn’t have electric. But I was thinking it would be easier to pop off the breaker cover and pull the main fuse.

Nothing other then the tender tail is connected directly, so that should remove all parasitic draw, right?

 

According to the wiring diagram. Everything is disconnected except the power side of the solenoid. That item probably has 0 leakage.

 

Not sure on your bike, but my starter goes directly to the battery.
I think that's what Max is referring to when he says solenoid.
So anything else that required memory power will be off when you pull the fuse.

 

yep, starter always goes straight to batt. This answers my question.

I have an oddball device, a 12v charger that works off a 12v battery. What I used to do when I was in NY and had a parking spot in a shared garage, was haul a 12v deep cycle battery to a bike stored too far from any outlets, and hook up this charger once a month to top off disconnected batteries.

Decided to put the Dyna in storage instead of trying to cram in into my new garage with a makeshift dolly. So I’ll do the same. Pull the fuse and bring the charger over every few weeks to keep it topped off.


Thanks gentlemen.

 

Why not remove the battery and take it home where you can charge it whenever you want?

 

This will make Rounders so happy.
