Review Battery Tender Motorcycle Parts
We have three bike battery chargers in the webBikeWorld garage that have been in unceasing use since about 2000, but I've just noticed that in all this time we never ran a battery charger review article.
They became such an indispensable tool that we've probably taken them for granted and overlooked the possibility that webBikeWorld visitors may be interested in learning more. The three units are identical Battery Tender and chargers, and we haven't experienced a single difficulty with them since they were first unpacked and turned on virtually 5 years ago.
every new motorcycle that comes into the garage gets a semi-permanent harness attached to its battery so it can be simply attached to a Battery Tender.
Standard operating procedure is to connect the bike to the Battery Tender as quickly as the bike is parked, and the bike is remains on the charger until it's time for another ride. I also use one to keep my riding lawnmower's battery charged and ready to go.
Some motorcyclists will only use a battery charger often in winter, but most modern bike battery chargers have a sophisticated electronic control system that allows them to be connected whenever the bike is parked.
The systems will charge the battery when mandatory and then they may continuously monitor the battery's condition, activating the charging mode again if required.

Traditional wet cell batteries require routine upkeep checks to make sure that the water level in each cell is correct. Many motorbikes are now supplied with upkeep free batteries of diverse types, and both the Battery Tender and the Battery Doc will work with either type.
Whenever I get a used motorcycle, one of the first things I do is to replace the lead/acid battery with a maintenance-free type.
I've had great luck with WestCo maintenance-free motorcycle batteries ( see the wBW article on installing a maintenance-free battery ) and have used them with good results on many motorcycles.
Another good reason to use a motorcycle battery charger is to increase the potential lifespan of the battery itself. Motorbike batteries take heaps of abuse, from heat and vibration to puny charging systems and too many power-draining accessories.
Deltran Corporation, the manufacturers of the Battery Tender, say that'Laboratory tests have shown that consistent use of any Deltran Battery Tender can add however much as three to 4 times normal battery charge lifespan ( 5 to seven years is not weird ) .'
The Battery Tender and has a helpful blinking light that indicates what's taking place after the bike is connected.
