Battery Tender (again)
Sorry to bring this up again. I did a search but still have a question. I called Battery Mart to order a Battery Tender Plus and the guy asked about the application and how much the car draws when parked. I had assumed I should get the 12v 1.25A model to maintain the battery for the two or three weeks I may not drive it. However, there are three different units called Battery Tender Plus.
Is the 1.25A the model I need--or do I need a larger one?
Thanks.

1.25v works for me for the past three years. Just wish I would have done it sooner. I've got an 06 and not a problem. Best $25.00 investment. I just look for the green status light. Once in a while it is charging with the yellow status.

Used the Jr. on my bikes and cars for years. They can be found on Ebay for around $25.00. Still have the original battery on my 2000 Springer and I attribute that to using the Battery Tender whenever it is not ridden for a month or more. Best $25 you can spend.
