My husband is currently in Afghanistan and I'm supposed to start his Harley up every week. However, with the extremely low temps here (well below freezing), the battery has been dead the last two times I've tried to start it. I jump it and it starts just fine. Is there anything I can do to keep the battery from losing it's charge? Thanks!

 

Battery Tenders work great: keeps the battery fully charged and extends he battery life.

HD sells a rebranded model.

 

Thanks! I'll go get one tomorrow. It was too late to call our local Harley dealer - they closed before I got back in the house from starting or trying to start all the vehicles

 

The battery tender is a great thing. I have been using one for many years.

But starting the bike once a week is a very bad thing.

It will fill the motor with moisture from condensation, and unless you ride it for 20 - 30 miles to burn off this condensation, it will accumulate in the motor.

The best thing you can do is put a battery tender on it and leave it alone.

Print out this information and send it to him. He will understand.

No need to start it, just keep it on the tender. We'll get you a tender without leaving your house. Below freezing is too cold to be going out IMO. We have pages of tenders in stock. http://www.drvtwin.com/catalog_keywo...nder&submit=Go

 

YEP! best advise you're gonna get. a $30 tender does the job.

tell your husband THANKS FOR HIS SERVICE! we appreciate him, and you for supporting him.
