Battery Chargers (Maintenance)

I have a CTEK that I use on the the DR650, always ready to go.
As I already have a cigarette lighter socket on the bike, I just charge through that.
 
Lithium batteries require special chargers and using once again a few of the trusty and reliable CTEK chargers.

The LITHIUM XS is an advanced microprocessor controlled charger specially designed to recharge and maintain Lithium-Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries — maximising their performance and lifespan.
With up to 5A of charge current available the LITHIUM XS is extremely flexible and will charge LiFePO
4 batteries from 5Ah to 60Ah and maintain up to 120Ah.....

Most offroad bikes, the seats don't come off quickly. Also BMW motorcycles have batteries in the "fake" fuel tank space so a real pain to get to. I make up charging pigtails for all my bikes that go to the battery. Just connect the connector to the batter charger connector and you can keep the batteries topped up easy.

BMW Motorrad CAN-BUS Battery Charger [BMW Original Parts # 77028551896] plugs straight into the BMW power outlets, nothing to add or modify.
Another easy mod on other non BMW bikes, hardwiring a power outlet straight to the battery and plug into... 'nuff said...
