Batteries maintenance in the off season.

[Bronson512]

Do you keep a battery maintainer on your trike (bike) during the off season?

Got a brand that you like or recommend.

Keep it plugged in whenever the bike is parked in the garage, not just in the off season! Not just the bike but, also my zero turn mower. Bike battery is now over 10 years old. Mower battery is over 7 years old. Both still check like new!!!!!

I ride my Tri Glide 12 month a year, My Victory i pack it away in my garage for the winter and put it on a maintainer battery charger.. Under 2 Amp's with a float mode, Any brand with those features will work...ThumbUp

I am tight on space in my shop so every Monday. Wednesday and Friday I have to start up my trike to pull it out for I can Box in the garage.
Then if I am working on something and need both bays I have to pull it out again

When my wife had a 79 MGB she would drive it a few times a year.
I would keep it on a maintainer. I mounted the maintainer to the car with a plug accessible for it was easy to plug in.
It was setup like that for years. Before I set that up I would go through a battery every year. After we never had to replace the battery

Battery Tender

I keep my bike , trike and lawn tractor on a Battery Tender whenever they are not in use. The in my 89 Wing was 13 years old when I replaced it last year. My trike battery is 10 years old.

I bought these B&D maintainers a year & half ago, use them on my old '56 Chevy that stays mostly in the shop, RV, riding mower & the trike. Never a low battery now. In all but the mower, I use the cigarette lighter plug for quick connections, the mower.. I just use the alligator clips.

Any maintainer, IMO, is worth the money.

If your bike does not have a quick connect coupling and you don't like having to take the seat off to connect a battery maintainer, there's an easier way. From the right hand side of the bike, on the top of your starter motor is a large bolt (and nut) with a large red wire coming from the battery. This is where you can make your connection with the positive wire connection for the battery maintainer. The black connection can be made to any solid ground point and you're ready to plug in your battery maintainer for as long as necessary.

These are what we use to charge and maintain our batteries and all our vehicles and toys.
