Trickle Charger.. Buy Ducati version or Other??

I use Battery Tender Jr with charging point located near rear spring. Works as advertised and the BT products are cheap and well rated. Very easy to find on the shelf too.

The BT junior comes with a fused SAE plug and wiring, which should be connected directly to the battery. My dealer installed this connector before delivery. The OEM sockets are not connected to the battery when the ignition is off.

But if you spring for a Shorai you don't have to keep it on the charger unless you park it for more than a few months. It loses a few pounds from under the seat, too!

The BT Junior plugs right into the SAE connector below the seat. My dealer may have added this purposely for tender application as other members have this connection located in different locations.

I drained my battery a bit when installing driving lamps and the tender went through the normal progression of charging indications, with ignition off. Voltage checks good in maintenance menu, as well.

I won't mind if my stocker dies. BT has very lightweight lithium offering. Shorai looks good too.

I use an Optimate which has its own connector and fuse wired directly from the battery.
