With the Battery Tender Jr. I do not leave mine on the tender as it is in a garage and I have multiple bikes. If I tender my battery within two weeks it only takes 5-10 minutes to turn steady green. If I am gone for a month, it takes hours, sometimes over night. My other bikes have no drain on the battery, so they just take 10 minutes or so even after a month. The touring bikes have a constant micro-amp drain.
I frequently ride every month, so it is rare that it sits for more than a month. The longest period each year is January-February. We do a New Years Day ride and then with work and weather, it may be mid to end of February before I get to ride again. That is the longest the bike goes sitting, so that is when the battery tender does the most to keep my battery topped up and ready to go. By March 15th, we are getting plenty of time to ride.
