Hello Everyone,
Living in Texas, I didn't really think that I'd need to have a trickle charger since most of the year you can ride. I haven't ridden, however, more or less the last three weeks due to cold weather, with some of the nights getting down to the upper 20s. In any event, I bought a Rowe Power Distribution Module. Other than the clock and the Oxford Heated Grips (the latter shutting off 60 seconds after detecting no vibration), everything ceases to get power when the bike is off. Nothing to worry about, right? Wrong!I had 45 minutes to run to the store yesterday, backed the bike off of it's perch, tried turning the engine over and "click, click, click...." So I waited for my wife to come home, jumped in the car and went to the local Honda dealer to buy a battery tender.
I bought the standard Deltran Battery Tender and it has two options to select from, either a lead acid/AGM or a Lithium Iron Phosphate. I looked at the battery via the frunk and while I can't see the whole thing nor did I remove it, it appears to be a YTZ14S Yuasa GEL. Can anyone tell me if that is a lead acid or a Lithium Iron Phosphate?
Thanks,
