Is this true....

what they say about a battery tender; I think their use of battery tender is as a generic name. It came from this site:

It's just past the price list. I've just purchased a battery tender junior with 4 stages and planned on leaving the battery in the bike with the battery tender connected until next spring; it's connected through a powerlet outlet. Or, should I just connect it periodically?

I will be on my 6th year with my H-D battery in My Roadglide and I trickle full time from November to April but I can't be to upset if it doesn't test out next season thats a good run for a bike battery.Butt it could be winter and we still go for rides a couple of times a month as long as roads are halfway decent so I guess it realey wasn't on a constant trickle :thumbup:

Deltran battery...

tender is one of the best to use. It is designed to stay on the battery and not over heat the plates or boil out the electrolyte.

I started with a single station several years ago. Now I have a 4 station and still have the single station that I started with. These are fine units that last.:2thumbs:/Ken

I bought a cheapy duracell battery minder - instructions recommend disconnecting once every 2 weeks for a day.

I previously had a battery tender, lasted four years, left it plugged in throughout winter. I also would plug it into my motorcycle after every ride. Battery still going strong after 5 years.
