I'm storing my bike for the winter, can I put my automatic charger on the battery even if it's still on the bike?

Quick answer.... Yes

you don't want to put a regular charger on it, you could blow it up with to much amps. What you want is a battery tender, that monitors and only adds a charge when necessary. And that can be hooked up to the bike.

so I don't need to take out the battery I guess...

Take it out or leave it in. I find that taking it out and keeping it in a warm place, with the ternder on, helps the overall life of the battery.

Many of us have batter tender leads permanently installed onto the battery POS and NEG so we can just plug it in as needed. Slick.


I have used this for years now. http://www.schumacherproducts.com/applications

I keep a battery tender on mine year round.

I see you live in Montreal so probably have a long time to wait for riding weather to return. I would attach the 'pigtail' for the battery charger and keep your battery Tender attached all the time. Use the same pigtail for any electric clothing or GPS devices.
