Mine came with one installed by the dealer. If you used the Accessory plug, you'd have to have the Accessory switch on. It's much better to install the plug-in on the battery posts.Harris said:Excellent point. I figured he was referring to the 4-position Deutsch connector, but you're right that some dealers are installing the pigtails pre-delivery.

I would use caution in doing that. The amperage is much higher on heated clothing and the inline fuses are different. I would really hate to see some one self immolate as they rode along.Camera108 said:And as a note of interest, if you want a Widder vest, they sell a small adapter that lets you connect the vest to the Batt Tender plug. Ya don't have to plug a second or third cord.

Then, plug the Tender into the vest harness....Geezer-Glide said:I would use caution in doing that. The amperage is much higher on heated clothing and the inline fuses are different. I would really hate to see some one self immolate as they rode along.
(However, after a few beers I would pay to see someone do it!!) :roflback: :roflback: :roflback: :roflback: :roflback: :roflback:

Is the Deltran Battery Tender and the Battery Tender Jr. sold by Harley made by the same company (Deltran)? I just want to know what tender other that the harley will work with my plug.

They are the same. Strange that they would install the plug and not provide the tender. I would ask them if they forgot.trackstar55 said:Mine came with the tender plug already installed coming out from under the seat, but the battery tender did not come with it.

Interesting study. The Schumacher Battery Companion was rated pretty good and better than the battery tender plus which I had been looking at. Also, it is available at Walmart for $17.88 vs $31.xx at Autozone and Advance and $29.95 at Sears. Only issue is the pigtail is a little short for my EG.Krayven Sumhead said:Here is a reveiw of several kinds of battery chargers and the Battery Tender Jr. doesn't seem to be the best value.....(according to this)
