I have a tender

I also have a shumacher tender...12 and 6 volt for the old bikes ( walmart?)

and a sears craftsman 1.5 A which I use for the motorhome.

they all work pretty much the same, I'm cheap -I know none of them was costly.

I have the harley one. My plug worked its way down to my exhaust pipe and melted clean down to the metal. Replaced the plug Saturday and my back went out in my garage. Had to use crutches to get inside. Not sure I will be doing much more work on my bikes any more. I should have jacked the bike up so I was not bent over working on it. Maybe that would have prevented it

I've been using the battery tender junior for 9 years now, and it's still going strong. I think I paid like $20 for it.

I've gotten good service since 2011 using a Scumacher tender from amazon.

Left it on the bike from November until last week, in an unheated garage, and bike started right up, with an 8-year-old battery...
