    How a Battery Tender dramatically improves your odds

    Im thinking of getting a small 150mA Solar Charger that plugs in to my Cigarette lighter port on my FJR. Im hoping it will work as a Battery Tender. It can fit in one of the side bags. Thats if I ever want to bring it along. Has anyone used a Solar Charger on there motorcycle?

    I wonder
