I've also noticed the loss of level in my 6 volt batteries while using my Battery Tenders especially the Jr. model . My 12 volt tenders don't have this problem . I did recently remove the 6 volt batteries from my bikes and have them in my home shop so I can charge them every so often .
My Benly's are kept in an enclosed trailer and I store the trailer in an unheated warehouse for the winter but I do have a small space heater set at 55 degrees to help eliminate moisture changes in the trailer . That's worked well the past several years . I also drain the fuel from the tanks , so I do have some work in the spring to get the herd of Benly's up and running again . I may spend an hour or so between the mechanicals and a little polishing for each bike but once their given the once over their generally good for the summer .
Our local BMW bike dealer has the plastic bike bags for around $30.00 and I've thought of that as well but haven't needed them so far .
