Battery tender plug does not work - FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic Harley Davidson Motorcycles

No, you must install the pigtail that came with your Battery Tender, or buy one to install. Check under the seat, though, before you buy a harness, as some dealerships install them at new bike set up. Good luck!

Is the battery any good? Tender literature indicates it is for maintaining battery level not charging a discharged unit - maybe that is the issue.

yes, the charge will bleed off just a bit in two or three days, just enough to reset the battery tender. it shouldn't take but a few minutes before the battery is again "topped off" and the green light comes on. But keep in mind that even with a battery tender, age will eventually get to your battery and it'll go bad. The battery tender extends the life of a battery but it can't extend it forever.

Good Luck

You have to put the connector on the battery. When you purchase the Battery tender, it comes with a "pig tail". You put the pig tail on the battery and run it to an inconspicous place. When you finish your ride, plug the battery tender in. Now, if you bought a bike with the tender already on it. Look closely around the edge of the seat for the connector. If you can't find it, you'll have to access the battery and follow the wires to the connector end.

Good Luck

The battery has probably gone bad. Install new battery with battery tender leads. Keep battery tender plugged in when bike not in use.

Most people use what is called a Battery tender... which is just a fancy way of saying low amp (2Amp) battery charger...
Buy one , and hook up the quick connect harness provided... plug it in... and you are good to go... It is said that use of this battery tender system extends the life of the battery by as much as 100% ( double the life expectency !!).

so , dont remove it... Tend it...
For storing your bike in an are without electrical outlets... use the solar battery tender !

remember secondary voltage is AC like the primary voltage, only its reduced typically 120vac primary and 12 or 18vac secondary then the ac secondary is rectified using a bridge rectifier to get the 12vdc then a filter circuit is applied to remove any electrical noise.. any way the problem is with the dc voltage side of the circuit and unless you know how to troubleshoot the circuit you will not be able to repair it. my experience says it might be a bad bridge rectifier.

The battery tender I have installed on my 2006 Street Glide is wired directly to the battery + & - post and has a guick connector that you can plug the charging unit into when needed. Mine was purchased from the Harley Davidson Dealer for around $35.00 No need to remove seat or anything after the installation.

and found this Battery Tender. http://batterytender.com Look likes the solution. Anyone know these? which model do I need? Also I saw this ad: Cigarette-Adapter http://www.amazon.com/Deltran-Batter...=pd_sim_auto_3 Does it mean I can charge through the 12 v cigarette socket? BatteryTender Jr. is all you should need.....they work great.....I plug mine in whenever the bike of scoot is not being used......batteries last a lot longer and good starts all the time,
