Default Tender Cable Length?

Want to pick up a HD battery tender soon and was wondering if anyone has a ballpark measurement on the cable length from transformer to quick disconnect? Want to have an overhead drop cable from GD opener outlet and mount the tender out of the way rather than string across the floor. Thanks

It's only about 3 feet. There is another 3 feet of AC cord from the tender to the wall outlet.

Edit: This is the one I have;

Depends on the type. The jr has a 12 foot cord. The tender plugs straight into the wall. http://batterytender.com/products/mo...fficiency.html

I have the HD version, and it also has a 12 foot cord.

My BT Jr has a 12' cord and I use a charging cord extension to do exactly what you describe. (Extends the wire to the bike, not the wall.) Charger is by the wall and the cord is strung over and hanging off the garage door opener. I roll it up and hang it when not in use.

The HD tender (non weather resistant) looks to also plug direct into wall. .need at least 6 ft. If this is what you have Shooter, I should be good to go. Thanks for replies and ideas.

Transformer plugs into the wall...... 12 feet of wire. I got the one similar to the one you linked.
