    Just a simple tender/maintainer will do the job.

    Battery Tender. I use the Plus (1.25A), but for long term, the junior would be fine. What ever you do, resist the urge to start it and let it run.

    Anyone have a picture of the Battery Tenders? I was at the store and saw a few different ones and wasn’t sure which to buy

    You want a battery tender for a motorcycle not a trickle charger.

    The difference? The trickle charger charges the battery weather it needs it or not.

    A battery tender will shut it self off when not needed and monitors voltage and will come back on when needed.

    Go to amazon. They have plenty. Napa sells them and every bike shop.

    Battery Tender is actually the brand name you should look for. Don’t buy the generic/cheap versions. They will cook your battery over time. As Eric mentioned previously you want a charger that cycles on and off as needed.

    Google Battery Tender Plus. It’s what I use. It compensates for temperature changes. Charges at 1.25amps

    Just unhook the negative battery cable with the battery in a good full charge state and you will be better off than any battery tender. If you want to make that easier in the future put a battery disconnect switch in the battery cable.

    I bought a battery tender, Jr through Walmart. It’s been in use over the last 2/3 years. Works great!

    I know this isn’t your question, but never put a trickle charger on a dead battery. This is a good way to fry the battery. Trickle chargers maintain a charge. And also waiting too long to replace the battery can also ruin your alternator. Don’t be the guy that’s happy because he got 8 years on a 2-year battery.

    I milked my 3 yr old battery a little too long until I got stuck.. so I replaced it a couple of months ago. Seemed fine mostly. Yesterday, it started up fine, went for a 10 mile, 20 minute ride, and after a 30 minute stop, came out and the bike almost wouldn’t start. Could this be a sign of a bad alternator? How do I test it?

    Take the battery out of the bike and connect the trickle charger. Put the battery on a piece of wood, not on concrete and forget it until you’re ready to use it. You can get trickle charger at almost any hardware store.

    Harbor Freight sells pretty good float chargers for about $20. I use them on my 2019 F3 Limited, and bass boat batteries. Very small, and simple to use. No need to take battery out or disconnect Float chargers will not over charge.

    Battery Tender Jr. Don’t use a charger. Use a maintainer.

    If you get really cold winters, consider bringing the battery inside for the winter.
