Trickle charge - wet cell battery
02/18/16 at 17:43:34

I just bought a brand new wet cell for my 07 savage. Here is the link for the battery I bought. https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/cyl14la2xt

It is installed and it works great! My question is: should I be leaving it on a trickle charge when the bike is not in use? Until I sort out my engine knock, the bike will not be getting much use.

Here is the link for the trickle charger I bought, or at least i think it is a trickle... The box says "1.5amp maintainer" "Battery maintainer" and it also says "trickle charger"

I have also took a picture of the box (see below)

I have a Battery Tender Jr. and run it for just a few minutes (until the light stops flashing and turns green). I probably plugged it up once a month "just because". I don't winterize my bike. I ride 11+ months a year. Can't really say 12. January is just too brutal sometimes!
