[QUOTE="FJR919, post: 798082, member: 508"] I disagree with what that battery expert told you based on a conversation I had with an engineer from Yuasa and my personal experiences with AGMs and other lead acid batteries. All my motorcycles and my Mustang have battery tenders (not chargers) that are plugged in all the time when not being ridden/driven, which ampounts to 7. I have a 9 year old battery still in use. And my recent AGM failed after 7 trouble free years. I have had reliable service for about 6-7 years on average, which is consistent with what the fellow from Yuasa told me when using their Smartcharger or a Battery Tender. He said that generally you get 3-4 years of reliable service from a battery, which doubles with consistent use of a tender-like device. I have never seen a tender cause an early failure of a healthy battery. [/QUOTE]
