Battery Charging using a Battery Tender branded Charger

[RET46]

The Super Tenere Owners Manual states a special constant voltage battery charger is required to keep from damaging the battery during charging. I have a Battery Charger Plus branded charger and cannot find anything on line regarding whether it is a constant voltage charger and therefore how safe/effective it would to use on the YAMAHA supplied battery. I live in Canada, store my bikes over the winter and charge my batteries once per week. Does anyone know if OK to use this brand and type of charger on the Super Tenere battery?

Many thanks in advance,
RET

BT makes so many types of chargers it'd help a lot to show what the box says or even a link to the product.

Battery-Tender JR and Battery-Tender Plus are "Constant Voltage" chargers, and are perfect for use on small VRLA (AGM) batteries.
I use the BT-JR on both my Yamahas.

The "Plus" is just a 1.25-amp version and the "JR" is a 750ma version.

+1. This is Battery Tender's bread & butter purpose. I have one on the mower, and TW200. I put the Optimate3+ on the T-12, just 'cuz I had it. (don't know where it came from)

Agreed and I have one too.

But they also make other models for other battery chemistries.
