Hey, my battery was sh!t, not my charging system.
The first battery lasted three years 4 months before it just would 
not hold a descent charge.
The second battery lasted one year before the battery tender that is 
spent nine months on (wasn't riding, don't ask) burned it up. Lesson 
here don't buy a non branded battery tender (even if the board in 
side is an exact match to my buddies BatteryTender brand unit.
The third battery as of a week ago tested out and 12.8 volts standing 
and had not been used in three weeks.
