See Figure 1 or Figure 2. Maintaining the battery between rides and while stored can maintain battery charge and extend the life of the battery. Connect the battery tender connector (2) to a battery tender during storage or to a battery charger if the battery voltage drops below specification. See Service Procedures → Battery Maintenance.
See Service Procedures → Seat. Remove the seat to access the connector. Remove the connector cap. Connect the battery through the connector to an automatic, constant monitoring battery charger/tender. The connector is compatible with all Harley-Davidson battery tender/chargers.
When removing the tender/charger, replace the connector cap to prevent moisture damage when not in use. Properly stow connector back under seat.
