recommend a battery charger?

I need to charge my 2001 Bonneville battery quite frequently and can't keep borrowing my buddies charger.
Could somebody recommend a decent battery charger that I can buy in California?

thanks

The Battery Tender gets high marks from all users and is on my Christmas list.

+1 on the Battery Tender
I got my Junior here:

$24.90 + $7 S&H - you know I wasn't happy about the $7 but I couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else!

+1 on the battery tender. My dealer installed a little pigtail that comes out just above the left side cover (They do it to all there bikes.). It isn't noticable and is handy as all get out.

If you've got more than one bike, they do make a Battery Tender model with more than one set of leads. Also, check out the Optimate brand. They work well on the new gel batteries and can be used on any 12v system.

Battery Tender is the best. You can get the cheaper one.

Clear Winner

Thanks guys.

Clearly the Battery Tender is the charger du jour.

I appreciate your input.
Cheers!
