It's that time of year here in Michigan, and I thought I'd share a tip for winter storage. I always use a bag with desiccant to enclose my bikes for the winter and leave the battery plugged in to a battery tender. The problem has been that I generally lose a fair amount of acid (below the fill line) from the battery when the bikes sits over time. I'm going to try using a timer in conjunction with the Tender to minimize the acid from being cooked out of the battery. Hopefully, an hour a day charge time will keep the battery in good shape without overcharging it. I'm aware that the Tenders are never supposed to over-charge batteries but experience tells a different story.
