I see multiple threads recently of low battery condition. If your battery is already toast, no amount of charging will recover it. But for a battery that is in good shape, it is important to maintain it at a healthy charge level. Here are some products I personally use & can recommend to make that effortless.
I came across this adapter plug that fits in the accessory connector on the left of the bike
Get it directly from
Powerlet Products - item is half-way down the page
PL/SAE cable - PAC-008 - note that they have different lengths available.
This can be used directly with a
Battery Tender
I have the waterproof model (shown below) - seems like the perfect application for a bike, eve if you park it outdoors.
(But the aesthetics alone are just so much nicer than the regular BT Jnr.)
Even if you use a different brand of trickle charger, Powerlet has a bunch of other adapter/extenders that you can find to simply use the accessory plug - you can even buy a bare plug if you like.
I leave my Tender plugged next to where the bike is parked & then just plug it in - no seat/cowel removal or fishing for a pigtail dangling somewhere.
Best Price I've found anywhere for the BT is at
MAWOnline - item # 50896 - $33.95
