Default Just Bought a Osyssey PC680mj battery. What battery tender are u using?

I just got my Odyssey Pc680 battery in the mail. It's going to be used in my S2k which sees limited use. Drive it a few times a month.

I was wondering what battery tender everyone was using for their PC680 battery?

Thank you!

Here is a listening of approved chargers that will not void warranty.

Get a CTEK charger and never look back... Just avoid getting any of the Comfort Indicator connections (ones with LED lights), as they tend to drain the battery.

From what i've read in the past the battery tender jr. is a battery wrecker.

Whether that's changed or not, I don't know but the ctek stuff works very well.

What happened? The Pc680 got generally good reviews on S2ki from what I read. I'm taking the precaution of getting a battery tender to extend the battery life hopefully.
