I swear by Xtreme chargers:
http://www.xtremechargers.com/
I have two single units and one double unit. I have tried other brands, but
these units have a patented de-sulfation pulse cycle. They work fine on
motorcycle, AGM, conventional lead-acid car batteries, etc.
I have the original Delco "green eye" battery in my 2003 GMC cargo van and I
put
it on an Xtreme charger once a week. I cannot say that this is why the battery
has survived nine years, but it helped to convince me.
I have several motorcycles and kept them on various tenders over the years only
to lose batteries after two or three years. I have not had a motorcycle
battery
failure since I started using the Xtreme chargers (I leave them plugged in
24/7). I have given away my other battery tenders.
They cost about $80 for the single units and $120 for the double units if you
look around the web for discounts. Clearly not cheap, but a battery for the
Aprilia costs $135...
Your "mileage" surely may vary.
best,
doug

Subject: [Shop-talk] Battery minders?
So I think I just killed a motorcycle battery by leaving it on a Sears charger.
What brand automatic battery charger do we like now, and where do we like to
get
it?
Thanks.
Scott
