Battery Tender

[kozy]

I got a battery tender for Christmas.....can I hook the leads up to the little 6" cable that comes from each terminal of the battery? Or do they have to be connected to the battery terminals themselves?

I also got $500 cash. I had that money spent before I had the card read that the money came in! Progressives, LED Brake light, and comp baffle for the Kerker!!!!
Now I just gotta wait for spring to come so I can actually take it OUT of the garage :bang head:

I'm not sure that "it blows" quite defines it well enough. When you go from an ice storm and sub-freezing temps that shut down all of Northwest Indiana one night to mid 50 degree temperatures the next night, something is majorly effed up. I hate the weather here. We don't have spring, summer, fall, and winter. We have a screwed up version of ALL of those months combined into one. It's gay.

A mate of mine has just got 1 for xmas and was talking to the local suzuki dealer saying that he had 1 for his bike and still had the same battery for 13 years on her , think i might invest in 1 for the winter here .

As for the weather 27 DEG CENT no wind and not a cloud in the sky .:clapping:unk::clapping:unk::clapping:unk::rocket bike:

Got mine today as winter is approaching , to get to the battery to set this up do i need to take the pillion seat off to get to the bottom bolts of riders seat .
It is dark out there and have real bad lighting in shed .
Also when you hook it up i know that connection to go to charger has a cover on it but has anyone ever had a problem with it , getting wet etc.. while riding ?

I've never had a problem with mine all these years with the elements......in the area of the RH side cover, get off the bike and plug in........same for full-time duty throughout the winter months......I love it........you might want to put an in-line fuse in the circuit too.......not only for the usual accidental shorting issues but also that some wise-a$$ doesn't come along and see it, short the ends together and see if he can get your bike to smoke.......

It has a fuse in it anyways , i ended up putting it up under the seat by the petrol tank . Pop the seat and plug it in :clapping:unk:
