Battery Tender

[Florida Rev]

Does BRP make one for the Spyder? Is there an after-market one available?

I am going to be out of town for a few weeks and do not want to come home to a dead battery.

There are several on the market that all work well.
I dont know if BRP has branded one of there own.

Not aware of a BRP one. My favorites are the Battery Tender, Battery Tender Jr., Accumate 612, and Optimate III. The Xtreme is supposed to be a dandy, but I havent tried one yet. Any good bike shop should be able to fix you up...or you can go mail order.

WallyWorld (WalMart) sells one. I got it and it was on my Spyder all last winter and it worked fine. Evidence is I disconnected it and cleared the cover off and the Spyder started -- first try -- without touching anything but the starter button (well, I also touched the M button and the kill switch).

These are not magic nor highly technical devices. You need a good and competent one without spending serious $$!

I have the battery tender plus. Works great. You need to hook the jumper wire directly to the battery and not to the lugs under the seat. I ziptied the plug to the wire that goes to the switch for the passenger seat. I just plug it in and let it go. Takes 10 seconds.

Got a Sears Brand Battery charger/maintainer for $28 works great.
