Default pigtail on battery

upon installing a new battery, a friend recommended a pigtail on it so it would be easier to charge during the winter. now instead of cables being connected to the battery, all i have to do it plug it in from the pigtail to the tender. wish i would have done it sooner.

where i store it they would disconnect the battery after they parked it, i guess they forgot to disconnect this year, and wound up with a dead battery. you can get the chargers on ebay..called battery tender jr. comes with the pigtail and cables for 30.00

That's a real good number ($30) for a BT Jr. Think I paid $46 last year (free shipping).
