I know that Harley has their own batter charger, but I was wondering if anyone was using any other type out there.
Thanks

Battery tender
Same plug as a HD charger.
But low cost, under $25
Had a Heritage Soaftail kept on a battery tender every winter,all winter, and battery lasted 10 yrs. Maybe just lucky but I use the same one on the trike.Will report back in 10 yrs ( I hope it lasts that long)

Which battery tendor?
This is I guess is to all of you who replied bthanks
Only problem with these they are wired backwards as compared to the battery tender and the HD unit's. Now if that is all you use then it's all good. I have not found plugs seperately so I can use one one all my bikes.I have used Battery Tender Plus for years with no problems. A couple years ago I picked up a Schumacher SP3-CA system in Sturgis and really like it. The one thing I like about it over the PTP is the digital read out. Let's you know what's going on with your battery and condition of the battery.

Just adding my 3 cents worth here -
Battery tenders are great chargers, but battery tenders again are charger/maintainers.
They do nothing to condition the batteries.
I've been using Battery Minders for many many years. I had a battery I just replaced out of a 1997 Softail. It was the original battery and lasted 17 years.
Battery Minder does the same as Battery Tender. It chargers and maintains a certain voltage in the battery. What the Battery Minder does in addition is it conditions the battery too. It desulfates the battery as it works.
By keeping the battery desulfated, it obviously lets the battery live a lot longer.
Check it out on the internets:

How does one attach the charger to the Trike. Is it pretty self explanatory. Do I have to remove battery or can battery stay on trike? I'm new to this so any and all help is appreciated.orag:
I may have missed what year Trike you have, but I believe all late model Touring bikes as well as Trikes already have an included charging plug behind the right side panel. And I assume that all of the above mentioned trickle charges have a matching plug.
thanks for the pic. I will look for that this weekend. My trike is a 2015.orag:
