• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

BATTERY MAINTAINER

...The above is what you want.....you can get ones that are reasonably priced at Walmart.....Mike :thumbup:
 
Deltran, Battery Tender is the only one I would use. Just plug it in when parked for the winter and don't worry about it until spring.
 
Tender

I have used the Deltran Battery Tender exclusively. We winter in Florida for six months. I have one hooked up to my FJR1300 and one hooked up to my Hyundai Santa Fe. When we get back to New Yoyrk in April everything fires right up. I would not consider any thing else.
 
Battery Tender Jr

I have 3 of them in use right now. Spyder, Utility tractor and a Hydraulic dump trailer battery. No complaints they do what they are advertised to do at a reasonable price.
 
Deltran's Battery Tender brand is probably the most popular and well known, but it's not the only one out there. The key is to look for one that shows battery maintenance mode. One I would stay away from is the Harbor Freight one. I've read comments where they've ruined batteries. I have two chargers from NAPA, one a real 12/75 amp charger with a 2 amp charge/maintenance mode, and one that is only a 2 amp charger/maintainer. Both work quite well. Do not buy a trickle charger. They have a constant output that will cook a battery eventually.
 
I have a Canadian tire electronic smart charger, use it for the spyder and the camper battery in storage, very economical and work's great, has both 6 and 12 volt options.

I use the noco genius 3500 with a canbus attachment that plus into the 12 volt in the trunk. You do not have to move the fuse
