[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1454482, member: 19880"] Some lithium batteries don't respond well to the cold and won't provide sufficient cranking amps until they warm up. Cranking to warm them up does not do good stuff for the starter and relay. I never bother with a battery tender at all. A healthy AGM battery has a very low self-discharge rate - a few percent per month. In addition, the FJR normally has a very low parasitic draw - way less than a milliamp. I do a "top-off" charge a couple of times during the 5 month winter layoff. My 2011 has the original battery in it after 12 years and over150,000 km. [/QUOTE]
