Now the bikes get their monthly feeding over the winter and the batteries are fine.

Still got the original '06 battery in my Harley. I am very consistent with my "remove the battery and Battery tend" over winter storage. :2tup: . I've got 6 batteries to maintain over the winter, so I need to be charge maintenance faithful, or it will get expensive real quick if I don't !
