A lot of us have our bikes parked for weeks at a time.
Has anyone here given a thought to hard wiring a solar powered battery tender? Many solar chargers will now work in very low light and have over charge protection, so having your battery constantly monitored seems like a no brainer.
Any thoughts or ideas?

Have one of those hung in my laundry room window hooked to Bike battery sittin' on a shelf ... keeps battery topped up from Nov. to April no problem ... come Spring, I'll hang the solar panel in the window of my shed and put the quick connect leads on the battery installed in the Bike ... if I know I won't be Riding for a week or so at a streach, then I'll hook 'er up!

How big is the solar panel, and do you know if they come in a flexible format?

Dimensions approx. 12"x3" ... not the flexi type, but I'm sure you can find those if ya Google "Powersports Solar Battery Charger"
