    Roger, we've been using the AGM batteries in our Harleys for years (these are OEM HD batteries) along with the Battery Tender brand of chargers. I have two of the Battery Tender Plus and one of the BT Junior, I wouldn't use anything else.

    Here is a link to Battery Tender, check out the FAQ.

    Mike,
    The guys at XS Power say charge before use, and mentioned that a small charger will not work, but the BT FAQ seems to point to it just taking a long time. For an initial charge do you ever "restart" the charge cycle, giving it multiple "hits" at 14.4V? Or do you just put it on a BT Plus and leave it for several days?
    Roger
    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    I'll add a vote in agreement.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
