Does a battery tender draw much power
The last few months I have been too busy to ride more than maybe once a week (if that) so I started using a battery tender.
Anyone know if a tender makes much of a difference on the electric bill?

Just unhook the tender and buy a new battery if you're that worried about it.
Really?

Been running more than 10 battery tenders now for the last 15 yrs or more 24/7 honestly have never noticed any difference in light bill. Doesn't matter either way it on average doubled the lives of all battery. One deep cycle battery we have is now near 15 yrs old and still going strong.
