Arghhh... battery tender piggy tail
 
Hi esteemed riders,

I foolishly disconnected the piggy tail that bolts onto the battery and connects it to the tender's cable; and now I don't remember which goes where. So I have two leads that could go to the battery's +ve terminal: one with a fuse attached to it and one without.

1. Which one goes to the +ve terminal of the battery?
2. And where does the other one go?

Thank you.

Fused wire goes to the positive battery terminal, the other goes to the battery negative terminal or a good ground point.

Done. All good and charging now... won't need to take the Buick to work tomorrow. :icon_dance-tap:

The way I'm abusing my current battery, your suggestion might just happen sooner than you think, even if the current one is only 1+ year old :D

It makes it so easy to plug in the electrics that I would end up with a pigtail anyway. USB port, too, but not often. First time w/o electrics today in a good while and it sure was nice.
