    Charging station for the Senas and the battery tender done. Battery tender is plugged into the Lamonster Powerplate on the Spydercuff and works great!

    Do you connect your tender every time you park the Spyder in the garage ?
    If so, that really is not a good idea.

    The problem comes in when the battery finally DOES reach the end of it's useful life.

    With the tender connected, that pretty much guarantees that it will start every time at the beginning of the day.
    So when the battery finally fails, and they all do eventually, that will almost certainly happen at some place that it is inconvenient.
    Maybe VERY inconvenient.

    This has happened to me.......once.
    To several others on here too, IIRC.

    It is better to connect it ONLY when you know it will be unused for two weeks or more.
    If it is ridden every few days, there really is NO NEED for a constantly connected tender.

    I like the color schemes of your helmets, they'd match the colors of my 2015 RT-S Special Series. I have a shelf in the shop where I charge the Sena 20s EVOs. I pop them off the helmets and put them on the shelf. It's much easier to stick in the Micro USB plugs with the units off the helmets.

    The helmet on the left actually has a spider on the back of it. We got it years before the spyder though.
