Types of Motorcycle Chargers
A motorcycle jump starter or charger is typically used under different circumstances and conditions than a car or truck battery charger. You may store your motorcycle for long periods of time during the cold winter season. Even when you use your motorcycle during milder weather, you may not drive it daily. If your bike isn't driven regularly, its battery's charge can degrade rapidly, leaving you without the ability to enjoy your favorite ride. The right motorcycle charger can keep your battery powered and ready to ride no matter how long you leave your bike in storage. Find out everything you need to know about the differences between motorcycle battery jump starters, tenders
and chargers below.
- Chargers - A motorcycle battery charger applies a constant charge to the battery, even after the battery is fully charged. Many types of motorcycle chargers charge both 6- and 12-volt batteries, allowing you to use the charger on any compatible auto or powersport battery. However, since a motorcycle battery charger supplies a continuous charge, you'll need to disconnect and reconnect the device periodically to avoid battery
damage due to overcharging. - Tenders - The main benefit of a motorcycle battery charger tender is its built-in monitoring capabilities that prevent overcharging. A battery tender sends a slow charge to the battery, then stops once the battery has reached a full charge. The device can help to extend the life of your battery, too. A motorcycle battery charger tender can be connected to the battery indefinitely without the risk of overcharging, which is especially convenient if you leave your bike in storage for extended periods of time.
- Starters - Traditional jumper cables offer relatively no protection against the problems that can occur if you fail to connect the cables properly. On the other hand, portable motorcycle battery jump starters include a variety of safety features, such as, spark protection, short-circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection.
Some motorcycle jump starter models include a built-in air compressor and air gauge, offering a quick and convenient way to keep your tires at the proper pressure even when you're on the go. While regular jumper cables must be hooked up to a positive battery terminal and a grounding point to prevent sparking or the possibility of a battery explosion, a portable motorcycle jump starter can be directly connected to both terminals because of its spark-proof safety features.
