[QUOTE="olderNOTwiser, post: 798025, member: 21195"] "leaving a tender on the FJR battery all Winter will shorten its life (it did mine). These glassmat batteries do not respond to a constant trickle (even from the SMART chargers) the same as the old lead/acid ones did. That's what my local battery expert told me (after the fact - natch!) " Didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up. All my previous rides were lead acid or nothing. My other bike is an '86 so it has the older type. It looks like the best answer is to just visit, say hello and charge them until the charger says stop. And to: "Winter. Storage. Heh . . . ." I try to look at the silver lining. a chance to do a serious piece of disassembly and service. And maybe learn a thing or two about this farkle thing I see here ... ;-) [/QUOTE]
