Battery Maint for Winter

[NEWHD74FAN]

A fully charged battery is highly resistant to freezing and if the battery tender is on it, the charging process increases the chemical activity...heating the battery electrolyte slightly as a result.

You can leave it in the bike as long as there is a tended attached. If you feel better about bringing it into a heated area, you can do that too.

If connecting the battery tender to the bike (with pigtail) for the winter, is it best to remove the maxi fuse?

I just put the battery tender on my bike and leave it. No reason to remove any fuses.

When I lived up north I used a Battery Tender & a Jack to lift the bike. Make sure you lock the lift so if it does loose pressure it stays up.
