Default Battery Tender

Mornin'
I'm gonna pick up a Battery Tender for my '07 Road King.
Do I need a BT Plus or is the BT Jr powerful enough for my bike ?
Thanks in advance,
Jake

The BT Jr is more than sufficient for your battery.

BT JR is fine enough.. I do carry it and you will get 10% off with the HF10 coupon upon check out. check it out. My pricing is very competitive and with the 10% I think it is just about the best you will find on the internet. I do carry all Deltran BT if you want to get the PLUS.

They will both work well. I prefer the jr because it is more compact.

The Jr is the easiest to use. Connect the pigtail to your battery, then just plug in an outlet and connect to the bike. Its just like a 12' power cord. No extra cords or box to deal with.
