Then just make a EC5 to SAE adapter for battery tender charging. With EC5 connectors and heavy gauge wire you can jump bike to bike or fast plug in a lithium battery as those are EC5 connectors. Radio Controlled RC are all EC5 so look there for pigtails. #6. CoatsEast, rc51kid and rlsjodin like this.
Location: Sonoma Co., Calif. FWIW MC batteries generally have the quick and slow maximum charge rates marked on the case, this one is a small one for a 125cc scooter and even it can take 3 amps for up to an hour. As was said the BT is smart and would probably taper the charge off to much less than 3 amps after a bit.
Green Cove Springs, FL. You can either run a battery tender pigtail directly off your battery and use your Battery Tender brand charger, or, an Optimate 4 (can bus compatible) charger plugged directly to the round connector on the left side of your bike. #8. lewisjr1, Jan 28, 2022. #9.
239. Location: WA. I'm having a battery tender issue. Brand new 2021 R1250 GS. Came with tender SAE pigtail on it from dealer. Salesman said they use "regular old battery tenders" on them, no problem. I am aware the manual says to use the BMW trickle charger. I am also aware that some guys in the past did a procdure like "turn on the bike, wait ...
2009 yamaha grizzly 550 7 years original battery. 2004 Polaris Sportsman 700 5 years original battery. Can't recall the rest and I'm using the same charger on my 2016 Yamaha Wolverine. My BMW dealer gave me a BMW branded 1.25 amp charger with the purchase of my 2017 R1200gsa TB and ironically it is made by Battery Tender and lists at twice the ...
SAE charger wires are too weak! You need a female EC5 (connector) pigtail on your bike wired to the battery. ALL lithium jumpers use a male EC5 connector build into the unit. Antigravity has a pig tail with the extra black box, so you do not back feed a charge to the battery.
If your pigtail does not have an inline fuse, install one that does. Anything you plug into that connection will need a fuse between it and the motorcycle electrical system. It may have a 7.5 amp fuse already installed, but for a GPS you’ll want to replace it with a 5 amp or even something smaller, which will also be fine for your battery tender.
Had the tender hooked up to my battery, installed in my motorcycle. Bike was in my garage. I live in Michigan so temperatures did what they do up here: dropped below 20 (Fahrenheit). That's when the light at the tender started flashing red-green as well. Took the battery out of my bike and into the house - it continued to flash.
The only time I got as little as 5 (and a half) years on a motorcycle battery was my F700GS, but I bought it used and wasn't responsible for its care for the first 4.5 years. Was weak upon receipt. Tender or no tender, the key to long AGM battery life is never allow a deep discharge, never overcharge, try to store in relatively cool conditions ...
The trick with the 9 volt battery mentioned earlier was just the ticket for my 2003 Ninja 250. I just Left the blinking battery tender on there, and HELD the positive connection of the 9volt battery to the positive connection of the Motorcycle battery, while holding a bent piece of a binder clip between the negative conector of the 9volt battery and the negative conector of the motorcycle battery.
