Battery Tender/charger plug-in
Not sure the point in wasting time and money on the Jr model. The "Plus" model is $20 more and twice the amperage. Get it here... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ss_T15_product

So what is the problem with just clipping the Battery Tender Jr. red terminal to the starter terminal and the black to any bolt that is grounded? Seems to work for me and no wrench work needed. Also, plugging in the battery tender everytime you park the bike seems like overkill.

Just go to Ebay and buy a Battery Tender Jr.!!! They are cheap and work great!! I have used them for years with no issues......plus you get to plug in all kinds of fun goodies to the pigtail for charging and running ie..... phones, GPS, IPod etc.... Not a huge decision.

These sometimes drop below $80. Clearly (hope this doesn't need pointing out) Deltran makes the Harley branded tenders.
Also be careful just getting any old tender. Performance may vary depending on battery type. I think most/all H-D batteries are AGM.

I'll bet if you tore apart the HD model, the BT jr model, or the Wal-mart model, they would all look the same inside. Been using the Walmart one going on 5 years now. (not all WalMarts carry MC accys)

Schumacher 1.5 amp battery charger/tender with float mode, comes with pigtail, WalMart $22.00 w/tax......can't beat it.
You also do not need anything more than 1.5 amps to "tend" your battery.......just saying.
