Schumacher Trickle Charger

I finally got tired of putting a new battery in my motorcycle every year. At close to a hundred dollars per battery, it was getting expensive. While visiting Wal-Mart to purchase fuel stabilizer for my Excelsior Henderson, I stopped by the Automotive Department to take a look at Trickle Chargers. While browsing through the selection, I found the Schumacher SEM-1562A Slow Charge Battery Companion for under twenty dollars. Knowing a good deal when I see one, I purchased this product with my fuel stabilizer and headed to the house. Twenty dollars to save a hundred every year just sense.

This Trickle Charger was very easy to install. There are two ways that you can use this charger. If your battery has already lost it's charge, but is not dead, you can place the jumper cables on the battery, and use the charger to slow charge the battery. I needed to hook this charger up to my bike for the Winter to keep it charged. The kit comes with a set of ring connectors, which attach to the battery posts beneath the screws that fasten the motorcycle screws to the bike. This process was fairly easy to accomplish.

The advantage of using the ring connectors is that you can leave them attached to the bike even when you ride it. Both the connectors and jumper cables have a plug that connects to the actual charger, which is then plugged into an outlet. If you have the ring connectors installed, you can simply unplug the ring connectors from the charger, and take the motorcycle for a spin. When you return from your trip, simply connect the battery back to the trickle charger.
