How Do I Choose a Motorcycle Battery Charger?
When you're looking to buy a motorcycle battery charger, you want a multi-stage, low-amp charger that will take care of your battery. Look for a fully automatic maintainer that you can leave on motorcycle.
You can leave a smart motorcycle battery tender on the bike for extended length of time. These chargers have smart charging technology that prevents overcharging your bike battery. All motorcycle chargers offered by BatteryStuff fit that description.
Beyond that, it’s a matter of you deciding what options are important to you.
Do you need a wall unit or a bench-top charger? Do you need a 6v or 12v smart charger? Do you need the ability to charge bigger batteries or only maintain the small stuff? Answering these questions will help you narrow down your choices.
If your unsure of your needs don't hesitate to contact our tech department for help!
What is the best battery charger for my motorcycle battery?
Most motorcycle batteries are a small battery, under 20 AH(Amp/Hrs). A small 750 mA or 1-Amp charger like the Battery Tender Jr. is a great option for these type of batteries.
If you have a larger battery, you may want to use a slightly higher amp charger so you don't overwork your charger. These larger batteries typically fall in the 21-30 AH range. The NOCO GENIUS2 is and inexpensive smart charger great for these type of batteries. Our favorite is the Battery Minder 1510 as it works to prolong the battery life by using desulfating pulses.
Does Starting My Motorcycle in the Winter Charge the Battery?
Unfortunately, no, and here is why. The charging system of your motorcycle does start charging up until it gets far above idle. So, depending on the motorcycle that could be as high as 5000 RPM!
So, unless you hold 'er wide open for 10 or 15 minutes, you may not get enough of a charge to replace the energy you used to start the motorcycle, let alone the energy you needed to replace the natural discharge from being placed in storage.
You either need to keep it on a decent motorcycle charger, such as a smart battery tender, or you need to suck it up and go for a 20 mile ride every couple weeks!
