 | Re: Battery Tender Plus or Jr. I'm rocking the Yuasa HotShot Yuasa Hotshot Automatic Motorcycle Battery Charger seems to be comparable to the Battery Tender Jr. its done me well for 3 winters so far doing 3 of my own batteries and a couple for friends. even used it on my car battery before when it got extremely cold here and it didn't wanna start most days (my commute was only about 3 miles so it didn't charge the battery very good). it'll probably resume duty next week.

| Re: Battery Tender Plus or Jr. I'm pretty sure they are the same thing. One just looks fancy. I rock both of them. |

 | Re: Battery Tender Plus or Jr. I went a different and less expensive route. A Schumaker SEM_1562A Battery Companion. It works just like a Tender but I found it at Wallyworld (the evil retailer) for $17. It has a quick connect like the Tender and does a great job. Here's some linkage SEM-1562A - 1.5 amp Battery Companion® |

| Re: Battery Tender Plus or Jr. Two BatteryTender Plus's and two waterproof's. The waterproof units are only 800 mamp so they take longer on 'bigger' batteries, but are very portable. |

| Re: Battery Tender Plus or Jr. This is one I've been eyeballing for a couple months now... Motion Pro Tools - AccuMate V Battery Charger or if you own a motorcycle shop this might come in handy... Motion Pro Tools - OptiMate Pro4-S Battery Charger Currently I use a 1 amp trickle charger made by Schumacher. It was purchased at Checker Auto ( aka Kragen, Northern Automotive) for $15.
