But here's the summary:

Ultra Compact Battery Tender BTL09A120C - $70

Battery Tender BTL14A240C Direct Size Replacement - $90

Definitely recommend the larger one. 240 CCA starts the bike so fast it's crazy.

is a trickle charger necessary? My Hawk sat from November through February and started right up with the crappy china battery but now it's acting up......
