Involute Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Have any of you used ONE Battery Tender Jr. over the winter to maintain TWO bike battery’s? If I connect 2 battery’s in parallel and hook the Battery Tender up to one of the battery’s am I asking for problems? Quote

I have used mine to charge a car battery that was larger than 2 bike batteries, so size will not be a problem. My only concern would be if 1 battery was bad and 1 good, would the brain of the Jr. freak out. Battery Tender does make a multi bike charger Quote

I’m just too dumb to think of something that simple I guess. I was more worried about messing up the battery’s than I was the charger. A messed up charger won’t leave me stranded in BFE. Quote

xrated Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Why not just save your allowance money between now and winter and buy a second and/or a third one as needed? Quote
John01XX Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I picked up one from WallyWorld a couple weeks ago for $15.00 with full float Just Do It ! Quote
Involute Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Allowance? :icon_doh: The only allowance I get is a Blow Job every once in a while. $15 for "Full Float"? Sounds like a good deal. Whatever the hell Full Float means. Sounds kinky. Thanks. Quote
