    Default Battery Tender

    We have purchased a new Yuasa (same as OEM) battery and would like to use a battery tender but not sure which is compatible with the AGM battery. We have been using an older battery tender we had for a BMW which had a Gel battery and specifically says programmed for Gel batteries. Yuasa says this battery tender should not be used with a AGM battery. What are others using?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is what I use on my Spyder and Tractor. Battery Tender Junior Charger and Maintainer, EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE: Compatible with lead-acid, flooded, and sealed maintenance free batteries (AGM and gel cell) to be ideal for use in long term storage. Complete 4-step charging program (Initialization, Bulk Charge, Float Mode) allows for optimization of battery power, without overcharging.

    +1 for Battery Tender Junior.

    After doing some searching on the web, we're not convinced that the Battery Tender Plus that we have, isn't compatible with the AGM battery. Makes us wonder if Deltrean just wanted us to buy a new one and Yuasa wanted us to buy one of theirs.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
