Hey all... a while back u guys helped me with a battery issue..the Big Crank worked great for the after market radio drainage... but someone mentioned instead of getting the battery tender since I already have a charged to make the extensions from the battery.  What exactly do I have to do..? Sounds so stupid, but I'm learning, esp from this board.  I'm sick of taking off the seat to charge it, and I don't have to do that anymore (or so far anyway) but I still want them on there for the future ... I'm a tad bit nervous to do it because I don't want to get shocked so any input is appreciated.  

Obviously be careful not to leave the charger hooked up for too long (that's the advantage of a tender).

With that said, I would just connect an extension with a commercial connector to the battery (since I have a tender, I use one of those connectors - available where you get tenders) and train the wire (make it neat and so it won't rub) along the frame to a convienient spot for charging.  

Then make a pigtail with another connector to go from your battery charger to the plug and plug in when you want to charge.

When you're not charging the commercial connectors come with a little cap attached to keep dirt etc. out of the socket, the connector I have is "finger safe" if you connect it right. There is also a fuse in each line - I don't remember whether I added that, or it came with the connector when I bought it. Gives me a little peace of mind regarding shorting out my battery.
