    Well the Tundra has a MUCH larger battery so...............
    Leave it connected for a couple of more days.
    If it STILL doesn't indicate fully charged, then it's time to get that battery tested. Likely it is about done for.

    Good. Someone else relating an experience or opinion that is different than yours is not an argument.......unless you turn it into one.

    That's what they used to say about 'made in Japan'.

    Default Battery tender/charger

I have been doing research and hear a lot about the junior and plus. I think I read a post one time saying the plus was better for newer batteries. Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks

    I have a CTEK 7002, which takes care of my Honda Pilot (2012), Wrangler Unlimited (2015) and my new Magnesium Gray Spyder (2017 RTL SE6). CTEK is a workhorse.

    Hope this helps.

    Default Where are the terminals?

    I had a 2012 RT-S and put on a trickle charge for 24 - 48 hours every month or so during the winter to keep things ready for Spring.

    Well, I went to do it on my 2016 and it does not seem to have the same set up. Where do I find the terminals on a 2016 RT-S? I've looked under the seat assuming it would be the same as 2012 RT-S

    Refer to your owner's manual.

    The new RTs have the battery up front and it is easily accessible through the frunk.

    I ride 2-3 days each week so no need for a battery maintainer. To each his own.....
