When To Use Battery Tender?

Battery Tender

I Always put the Battery tender on after each ride . It always does a little charge every time . (The light Flashes while charging even with a new battery) There are times I let it sit for 2 weeks of more. And if we get snow it will sit till the snow and salt are gone.

So I got the '21 Freewheeler in mid July and here it is November in NJ and it's been 40 degrees for the last 3 days. Went out once regardless for a quick ride, but that's it. Supposed to go into the mid 60's soon, but being as this is the beginning of the crappy season when's a good time to resign myself to putting the battery tender on and should I even bother?

I started the rotation of my bikes on the tender about a month ago. Up here in north central PA the temps this time of year drop into the 20s at night. Soon night time temps will be in the single digits and below. In the spring I recharge the battery of my lawn tractor.

This is the one I have been using since 2017: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q3CM2QY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

It resuscitated a completely drained mower battery and that battery is still going strong.
