    What kind of Motorcycle charger do you have?

    I wanted a Battery Tender but nobody here sells them .
    So it would have to be ordered.
    Something else on the charge card.

    I live out in the country. Went to Orielly Auto parts and their motorcycle charger, it was a Schumacher for 36.00

    You know Schumacher has been around a long time.
    And they are a good charger.

    Went to Walley World and the same Schumacher motorcycle charger was 21.00

    Kinda hard to beat for the price.

    Gonna take the extra connector with the quick connect clips and put some Red and Black Eyes on them so I can put the connector on the nightster.

    I have the $39 Harley battery tender and have been using it for about three years now. It keeps the battery peaked up and it starts every time regardless how long it's been setting. I have the original battery in my '05 and it still works great but I'm watching it close.

    I just replaced my battery and the date on the last one was April 04. If I left the bike sit for a few days then the cranking was to slow to start. That was how I knew it was time for a new one. I didn't get a full 6 years out of it and I used the battery tender most of the time if I knew it was going to sit for a few weeks. And it was a HD sealed battery.

    I guess that's all your going to get - 5 to 6 years on a battery. Usually I would replace it at 4 years whether I needed it or not. I just forgot on this last one.

    I keep my tender connected all the time. It doesn't hurt the battery and I know it's always ready to go. I do wonder if I took a trip and left it off the tender for awhile if the battery would still start the bike.

    If I fall over my battery charger that cost 21.00 I could hurt myself.
    Or if I fall over one of yer escorts ?
    You got me confused.
    Was I suppose to git a escort with this charger to help me hook it up right.:cool:

    Mabe I should go back and tell them they left something out of the Box.
