Re: [ST] Battery Charging



Again, not sure what the difference is, but I don't have any trouble getting
to the seat lock with the panniers on the bike.  Yes, it is a little bit
tougher than when they are off, but no big deal in anyway.  But, for winter
storage, the panniers are off the bike and in the basement.  Tad bit more
room in the garage this way.
