PROVEN Save neglected / sulfated 12V batteries other chargers can't from as low as 2 Volts, most effective when battery is disconnected from the vehicle wiring as it shuts down high voltage desulfation if wiring is sensed
IMHO
First this charger does not have temperature compensation so it has no idea if its charging in 100 or below 32 degrees. Makes a difference as to the input of power to under or over charge the battery. Most chargers work off an ambient temp 0f 75 degrees. (See compensation chart) Be undercharging the battery in lower temps you are allowing sulfation to occur and by having your battery still in the bike your not allowing it to condition either. You are doing more harm than good to your battery by keeping it in your bike. If your going to ride sometimes during the winter put it on charge a couple of hours before you ride. If your not riding at all take the battery out of the bike in a controlled environment and place it on a piece of wood for the winter. Conditioning once a month would be a good choice.
