Why You Need This: As much as we would love to ride our vintage Honda motorcycles every day, the reality is that your motorcycle spends a great deal of time parked. During this idle time, the battery slowly discharges. When you finally decide to start your bike, you may find the battery weak or completely dead. The more frequently this happens, the shorter the battery's service life. The solution is simple—keep your battery charged so your vintage Honda motorcycle is always ready to go.
Battery charger technology has significantly advanced since these bikes were built. Older battery chargers were designed for outdated lead-acid batteries and lack modern efficiency. This compact smart battery charger is designed specifically for AGM style batteries but also works with lead-acid batteries. It supports both 12-volt (12V) and 6-volt (6V) systems, providing 1 amp of charging current with a 4-stage microprocessor that monitors battery recovery and discharge.
Note: This battery charger is not intended to revive a completely discharged battery. Instead, it functions as a trickle charger, maintaining a full charge or recharging a mildly discharged battery. It is best suited for use with a new battery.
Additionally, all Motobatt chargers feature quick-disconnect cables, making it easy to plug and unplug your bike from the charger. Each charger includes spring clip leads and a ring terminal lead for permanent attachment to the battery while still installed in the bike.
Installation Tip: The ring terminal "pigtail" is designed to be left installed on the battery for quick connection and disconnection from the charger. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Connect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal.
- Secure the terminal end to the frame with zip ties to prevent movement while riding.
- Route the pigtail to an easily accessible location for connecting the charger.
- If additional reach is needed, use an extension cable between the charger and the pigtail leads.
