- In this episode, I will show you how to install a Battery Tender Junior on my Honda CBR250R motorcycle.
Battery minders trickle charge batteries so that they stay in good shape when they are not is use for an extended period of time... like during the winter months.
I also answered why I disappeared for 2 years. Happy holidays, and thank you for watching.

Hey, thanks for watching.
Add my welcome back to your list! Good move on quitting smoking...I did it 19 years ago, and I STILL have smoking dreams!
Wow that was a long time ago. Congrats and thanks!
Dude, your videos are so detailed and easy to follow. It seems like you anticipate every little problem that could arise during an install and address it with the audience so they aren't left confused. Thanks so much for all the videos! You've saved me hours of struggles while working on the 250r I just bought...
Happy 2018 my friend. Thanks for this great video on batteries. When I got my Cruiser (2005 C-50 Boulevard) she was in fabulous condition with less than 4000 miles. I was informed that it had a new battery. What the Dealer did not tell me was that the old battery leaked badly and upon inspection I found that corrosive acid had leaked down along the frame. It was obvious the leak was substantial and lasted for some time. I was afraid the structural integrity (some of the welds) might be affected but thankfully it was all sound. some of the acid splashed onto the wiring but luckily it ate the black electrician tape binding the wires together and NOT the actual leads. :-) Like a lot of appliances, if you put the bike into long storage it is a good idea to take the battery out. I ALWAYS check the battery to make sure the blasted thing is not leaking. Thanks for bringing attention to this very often overlooked component of our bikes. I enjoy your presentations very much. . . . J
Motorcycle connection starts at 3:45
Does the negative cable go to the negative battery terminal or to some where on the frame? You didn't show hooking it up. Thanks.
Dude no one is showing this step or explaining it when they do... frustrating!
@@tejachemudupati9488 from the factory my bikes float charger is hooked up through the starter solenoid, its weird but it works
Owner Manual says that it most be connected to the frame, far from battery.
Been having some trouble with the battery on my Honda Shadow and got a Battery Tender Junior since I heard some many good things about it. Your video was so easy to follow that it took me 20 minutes to take off the seats and set it up. Currently charging right now so thanks! Really great video.
Tender year round.
I use an Optimate 3+ tester/charger. I like it's features that Battery Tender doesn't have.
I would like to add some advise for your subs.
If you are not using a maintenance free battery, be sure to keep a check on the water level. These batteries will loose water through evaporation (through the battery's vent tube), even on a tender. If level is low, top off with distilled water ONLY.
As always, love your vids BB.
Good advice, Imdetect, and thanks.
Hi I have seen your videos and learned so many DIY for my CBR 250 r . Good to see you back
I can pretty much ride all year here in NC, so I haven't had to pull a battery out or keep it plugged in on or off the bike. But if I ever have to, I will use my Battery Tender, like the one you showed in the video. My VTX 1800N came with the connector already installed, but my scooter doesn't have one. I put a 12v power outlet on it for running GPS and such, and then made a plug that will go in the outlet and connect to the battery tender. Problem solved. Hopefully will never use it for that, but better to have it and not need it, as you can't push start it. I can jump start it from there if needed, also hopefully never needed.
Is it a cigarette lighter outlet? If so, I didn't know you could plug in the battery tender in that matter.

Came here for a tender installation got this dudes life story 😂😂.got there eventually 👍
I just use fuel stabilizer and keep bike in garage and start it up once every 2 weeks and let run for 5 min , however might buy a tender this year
Thanks, ur vid helped me out alot, especially the part u said where the terminal goes between the nut other metal
Thanks bru. Congrats for stopping smoking.
Clear instructions and recommendations. 👍
I'm installing on a 2021 XT 250 but my nut is almost too small for the lead. Nut size looks similar to yours.
Never stop making videos.
Thanks, Adam.
Isnt red positive and black negative?
Yeah ten4
hey mate is it true the red wire connection to the battery is positive and the black wire is negative so ? if the wire connection is wrong locate is it possible to spark ?
Tnx, good video as always :)
I usually take battery of the bike and charg it some times turning winter time. Battery stays in warm room.
Cheers,
Thanks for your answer, Reimo.
Welcome back brownbrady. Thanks for the videos. It is really helpful. Happy holidays. I would appreciate if you could do a video about reassembling airbox for CBR250R. My friend recently removed the airbox and replaced it with a K&N airpod filter. He regrets his decision now. It would be helpful if you could help reinstall the airbox again.
Thanks for watching, Manigandan. I'll see what I can do.

Super helpful, thank you!
Happy holidays 👌
Happy holidays to you as well.
Well, welcome dude, we missed you !!!
Merry Christmas
EXCELENTE VIDEO BRO, MUY EXPLICITO., UNA PREGUNTA EL BATTERY TENDER JR, CARGA COMO SI FUESE UN CARGADOR DE CELULAR VDD?? MENOS DE 1 A. SUPONGO QUE SI LA BATERIA ESTA EN CERO, TARDARA UNA SEMANA EN CARGARLA NO ?
great video
Way to go on quitting smoking.
Dude, you said connect negative while you putting positive first? please correct me if i am wrong, isn't it should disconnect -ve before we touch the +ve to avoid spike?
Really helpful video thanks BB
great video sir, I just subbed ! keep up the good work, my channel has similar content too
Thanks Bro👌
You bet. Thanks for watching.
How long does the charging taking? and how can you tell its fully charged?
Nice viddy bro!! I saw your mssg and subbed...
I appreciate that, bro!
BrownBrady If you got some time see what I do...
I did. :)
BrownBrady thank you soooo much!! :) I'm still learning but I'm pushing it... :)
I installed a gps and motion alarm in mi bike, and now the battery runs dry in less than 2 weeks. Will a device like this one help keep the battery charged? Will constant tending damage or shorten the battery life on the long run?
No tending the battery is the best thing you can do for it. If u run a lead acid battery dead twice it’s shot. If you leave it on a tender it can last a few more years than without it.
Can anyone tell me if there is a risk of the battery exploding when it's on charge even for long periods of time??? The stupid battery tender manual got me paranoid. I have it connected now and seems fine but like I said I guess I'm paranoid. Anyone??? Help!! Please!!!
Stugots666x not likely I kept my bike on a battery tender. The unit stops charging when the battery is fully charged then starts up when voltage drops
How do we remove safely????
haha their my insurance brokers too! good ol riders plus
dude, 2018 is almost over, and for health reasons, i am afraid to drive a car, and bought a little bike, first in 36 years, and didnt know shit about a battery tenders (Utoob, craigslist, iphones, tinder etc), somehow Amazon (or Alexa, or whoever) sent one, and its remarkable, anyway, my point is, thanks alot, if I t-bone a family of 4 (vision problems), I;d rather do it on a yamaha xt225, than a silverado 2500!!!
Hello
See you later man
None of that was relevant to the title, I want my minute of life back 😑
