Battery tenders..

wally mayfield · 12-25-2014, 03:46 PM

I have a little Buick I keep in my Hangar that I don't drive and a Suzuki GSX-R750 that I keep in the house in the winter, both are on one of those little battery tenders, and both vehicles had enough power to turn over and quit after a long period of time on the charger..

I got the Buick going with a jump, but the scooter needs a new battery, can't even jump start it.

My question is what do I do for long term storage??

Thoughts?

I have my Vette on a tender for the winter, but it fires right up every time. My scooter hasn't started in years-even with a new battery. If I ever figure it out, I'll let you know.
