Bout the same thing I do. I'll put a tender on it if it looks like i'm not gonna be able to drive it for several weeks....but then I only use the tender for 5-6 hours about 2-3 days a week. I don't like leaving any tender like device plugged in constantly anymore with how cheaply things are made these days. Doesn't really need to be plugged in 24-7 anyway.

Thanks for all the replies.

I think I will just remove the battery.

I also use Shell V-Power (no ethanol) with Stabil, and pump up the tires a little higher.
