Sounds like the way to go...for those that used a battery tender and had battery failure, make sure the tender isn't overcharging. It happened to me once and cost me a new AGM battery in a newer ATV.

Battery Tenders aren't perfect. You still need to look at them to make sure they're still working properly. Had one that must have decided to die sometime in February once. By the time I noticed, it had deep-cycled the battery beyond recovery.

When they work (usually always), I have gotten as much as 8 years out of that big behemoth battery in my Shovelhead.
