Trickle charger
My 2016 street glide came with a wire to connect to a trickle charger already installed from the factory. Do I have to use a Harley Davidson unit, or can I use any charger that will fit the plug?
Thanks in advance

You can use any brand that takes your fancy. The wire on your bike has a universal plug/socket, which is common to battery chargers. Be aware that the term 'trickle' charger refers to a constant low power charger, whereas it would be better to buy a battery tender, also known as a battery minder, which provides electronic monitoring of the battery, hence cannot over-charge it.

Does it look like this http://www.walmart.com/ip/36007111?w...671621&veh=sem if so this is what a lot of people use including myself. Just don't get anything that exceeds 2 amps otherwise you can damage the battery.

trickle charger and battery tender are two completely different animals! you want to plug in a battery tender to that port not a trickle charger. I use a battery tender plus, different manufacturers call the by different names sometimes.
