[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1284850, member: 3828"] VRLA is a generic term for any sealed, no maintenance battery. The battery in your FJR is of the AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) type of VRLA Battery. You therefore want a battery charger that is recommended for AGM lead acid batteries. The Deltran Battery Tender Jr is recommended for AGMs, so it should be fine. Personally, I do not like to leave my battery on any tender continuously for the entire off season (Queue the southerners' jokes about "what offseason?"). I have two bikes and alternate which one is on the one tender every week or two (I have an Optimate 3, which is also a good AGM trickle charger). Cold weather actually slows the internal discharge of a lead acid battery, so even a 50% duty cycle of charging that I use is overkill, IMO. [/QUOTE]
