Hey Jay, What's worse, reseting your radio or that wonderful sound (CLICK,CLICK,CLICK)?

I recommend you attach the appropriate wiring harness to the battery, then keep it on a Battery Tender (or similar) when you're not riding. It literally only takes a few seconds to unplug from the tender, stow the harness (I fold mine and poke it into the forward bracket on my hard bags), and go. The tender is from $25-60, depending on model. It takes at most 30 minutes to install. And using it, your new Deka battery will last a long, long time, and give you many miles of worry-free use. I have not had to replace a battery since I've been using my Battery Tender (5 years and counting).
