Don't settle for anything less than a Battery Tender brand. I've tried some of the others over the years with poor results.

The Battery Tender Junior is a great buy and works perfectly. I keep one on my Harley, my BMW and my riding lawn mower. The battery on my BMW is 5 years old and I only ride it a few times a year. But when I do, it starts every time. Couldn't ask for any more than that.

I have the H-D version. I paid around $50 for it and it works good for me. I needed one that would accept European voltage so that's why I bought it. No issues.
