You’re never going to know when your motorcycle just isn’t going to start up one morning.  Whether you’re on the road, or you just have it parked in your driveway, you’re going to find that you every day car charger just isn’t going to do the job.

Instead of having to take it to the shop or call up a tow truck, you can do what 1000s of other motorcycle riders do and that is get a charger.  These chargers are compact and are going to work great for your bike.

I did some searching online at various major e-tailers.  I’ve found a good selection of them that had fantastic reviews.  Check out the top 5 that I would consider that you look at.

Battery Tender 021-0128 12v (around $70): Out of all of the ones that I had looked at online, I had found that this one had the best reviews.  It’s fair in price, it has a quick connect harness for hard to reach areas, as well as a fantastic 10-year limited warranty, giving you that peace of mind.

Battery Tender 021-0123 (around $40): What I had quickly found out is that the Battery Tender brand is a fairly popular one.  This junior edition is spark proof, comes with a 12 foot output cord, as well as a complete 4 step charging program.

Waterproof 022-0150-DL by Battery Tender (around $40): This is the last of the Battery Tender models.  This particular one is water proof, giving you the ease of mind, just in case it gets wet.  It’s spark proof, designed for use on all AGM sealed batteries, as well as comes with a 3 step charging program.

Optimate 3+ Motorcycle Battery Charger ( around $50): Has voltage up to 22V, new SAE connections for all the accessories, as well as a charge verification LED light.

Schumacher SE-1 Trickle Manual Battery (around $15): The cheapest one on the list is this brand by Schumacher.  It has a 1-amp economical charge with a 12 foot power cord, molded with plastic weather proof casing, as well as a plug that works with any electrical outlet.

What I have found is that the Battery Tender brand seems to be a favorite among many riders.  You may share the same opinion, but his doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have to check out others.  Be sure to check out all the makes and models to see which one works best for you!
