I have been using a battery tender on my 2007 S4RS, 2008 1098S and 2013 1199R which all still sport the original batteries.

Is there a good source for the Ducati tender online? I have never needed a tender before (original battery in my SF for 4 years and 24k miles and never on a tender), but I am not going to be riding this bike as much since apparently it will be getting wrenched on half the time so I figure I should pick one up.

Thanks!

Fully Automatic Microprocessor Controlled Unique automatic battery charger maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries keeping them at full charge using float-mode monitoring. Perfect for charging small batteries. Great for maintaining small and large batteries kept in storage – motorcycles, classic cars, RVs, boats • 1 amp charger and maintainer • LEDs indicate: Charging, Charged and Power • Automatically switches from Full Charge to Float-Mode Monitoring • 20 Ft. Quick-Disconnect Harness – Snap either connector into place in seconds – Use the 50 amp clamps, 12 volt accessory plug or permanently attach the ring connectors…great for hard-to-reach motorcycle batteries • Reverse-hookup protection • Auto Voltage Detection – the charger automatically determines whether the connected battery is a 6 Volt battery or a 12 Volt battery

May I recommend the charger I posted already? It's much cheaper and has all the features you need. I got mine at Wal Mart lol.

But didn't someone just say that you have to have the Ducati one?

You don't, but you need to make sure it has the right amperage though. I have a brand new Ducati charger I got with my multi though if you're interested.

TransNone13 said:

Yes, sort of; you have chargers, speed chargers, and maintainers. I have one of each for different purposes.

I have a standard car charger that I use when one is dead and I want to pull it and charge it overnight. I need the tender/maintainer doodad. Bronch - I'll buy yours if you don't drag me over the coals with it.

just get a standard battery tender by deltran, been using em on all my ducs for years. No over charging chance and keeps battery up to full charge. My 1199 came with a battery tender pigtail attached to the battery to make it easy to use. I thought they all did.

Right, mine does the first and last. Also apparently desulfates! He asked about chargers and there are some with higher amps than recommended by Ducati.

Cloner said:

Just to throw another wrench in the works, if you use a Lithium battery you're supposed to use a charger that doesn't desulfate, as somehow this function fouls up those types of batteries.

Straight from the good folks at Shorai.

Anybody heard of rectifier? I had the same problem last weekend on my 2-monthd old pani. I don't think it's the battery. I tried to start for 10 minutes and it sounded like the battery drained out. Finally, it started like nothing happened. Talked to a friend and he had that same problem and had to replace the rectifier.
