YSR_Racer_99 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 As has been mentioned, a battery tender is not a charger, it's a maintainer. A 10 amp charge for a couple hours should be just fine with most motorcycle batteries. If the ignition is off, and you have the charger connected to the battery posts, a 10 amp charger will most likely not do anything to the electrical system, especially on a carburated bike.Gonna disagree here (with all due respect...). I use BT and BT Jr's. The BT (big boxy one) charges then maintains. The Jr. Is much less useful, and more of a maintainer. FWIW, in the future I'll just spend the extra $ to get the BT big 'un. I use the BT to bring batteries back from the dead. Seriously. Amazing little box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 never understood the whole BT thing...What does a battery cost? $50-$75, if it doesn't have the fortitude to fire up after sitting for a little while, I'm not gonna trust it to fire up when I'm out and about.I replace my battery every couple years typically... just peace of mind having a fresh one.

I respect that.Both batteries had some juice, but not enough to turn it over. Then I put that stupid battery charger on and then I got nothing on both bikes. I know something fried in both my bikes, I just don't know what.No worries, I'll figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my eyes, its money well spent. I rotate the JR among the bike and ATV batteries, and think that overall it saves me much more than it cost me. That makes it a good investment in my eyes. YMMV.

Amazing little box.My bad on that, when I hear Battery Tender, I instantly think of the Jr. which is just a maintainer, and I'm going to guess is what most on here have, and all most of us would need.
