Thanks a lot for info BT! I will order that kit and research the battery choices. The devil is in the details so I will look closely at the battery specs. The Optima battery and the Odyssey 925 are the ones I am narrowing to.
Happy Trails!
First, decide if you want it under the hood or under the seat..

Can you use a regular sized Battery Tender on these batteries, the manual said not to use an “automotive” battery charger, but thats all I have right now, and the battery is dead. (Brand new unit with 2 miles on it)
You can use a automotive battery charger if the charger has variable charging rates. If you can charge at 2 amps you should be ok. Battery tenders charge at a rate of about 1 amp. Small battery's can't handle high charge rates. Been charging motorcycle/atv, lawn mower battery's for years using a 2 amps charge rate never had a issue. It's even better to charge large battery's at a slower rate.
