Getting a Battery Tender, wondering if I can get away with a Jr, or if I need the big Plus.

What are you guys rockin'?

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.

I'm pretty sure they are the same thing. One just looks fancy. I rock both of them.

I went with the 10 amp fully automatic Black and decker battery charger and it works well . No complaints. $49.95 at walmart.

Got several "jrs" and have used them for years on car and bike alike. No problems.

I've got a Tender jr. No problems using on a bike and a car battery.

Got two jr.'s, haven't had a problem with either yet. :thumb:

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®

I have a Jr. Got it for under $20 locally.:thumb:

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.

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.
