Is your battery as strong as it could be?

 Weak batteries can cause many problems. Here is a list of a few of them. Weak charging, over charging, overloading regulator, burning up regulator, ignition failure, fuel pump loading, no spark, code tripping and the list goes on and on. So why not charge it when you are not riding?
I am going to just cut to the chase, your motorcycle cannot charge a dead or very weak  battery. Motorcycles have small stators (Alternators), therefore cannot charge a weak battery. The best insurance against a weak battery issue is to  install a battery maintainer. There are many "smart" chargers on the market. Some cost very little and can be found at popular discount tool stores, but I recommend spending at least $30-50 on a maintainer/charger.  There is a big difference between a maintainer and a  charger. A maintainer simply maintains an already "Healthy " battery.   A " charger" nurses a dead/weak battery back to life. A "smart" charger tests, loads, and reports on the health of a battery .   My  maintainer of choice is Battery tender Jr. from Deltran for motorcycles, atv, snow machines, and watercraft.  My battery charger of choice is made by Black and Decker, and has 2-10 amp charging, and is a smart charger. Let the smart charger do the hard work, and let the maintainer do the light work.
I would gladly accept any gratuity from Deltran or Black and Decker for the Blog advertisement. :)
