Battery Tender Sale
« on: January 12, 2013, 10:03:36 AM »
For anyone who needs on the battery Tender Jr is on sale at KMart. My bikes live on one when I am not out riding and I have never had a battery issue. $19.99 is a great price

If by chance you don't have any K-Mart stores in your area, Sears has the same charger on sale ( K-Mart-Sears the same store) .

If you have a Harbor Freight store nearer you, they have a battery maintainer as well .

Use one of their usual 20% off coupons and knock the price down a bit more .

I have a battery maintainer on all of the bikes and one car whenever they are parked for the day .

Is that suitable for use with the AGM batteries we use in oilheads?

Don't have any experience with the HB version but I do know the Battery Tender version works well with AGM batteries.

The Harbor Freight charger, maintains 13.42 volts, in the voltage  range recommended for Odyssey batteries, if I remember correctly .

All of my batteries are AGM type .

I've been using them for going on 4 years now on the bikes, I had one fail in less than a month, got it replaced under their warranty .

The one  I'm using on the Z3, has been in use 5 years now .
