I use a couple of BatteryDocs. What I dislike about them is just having it plugged into AC outlet, you get a green light. The same green light that tells you your battery is fine. So, if it's really not charging or maintaining over the winter, I'd never know because I'd see the single green light. Other lights are yellow and red. They really should have designed it with two green lights, one for "Power On" and the other for "Fully Charged" indications.
A quick and admittedly unscientific way I see if my charger is working is I have it hooked up and showing the green light, then while still hooked up, turn key to ON and, of course, the lights come on. After a short time, the charger's indication should change to yellow or red as the battery drains. Then turn bike OFF and wait to see that the indication goes to Green. If it does, it's charging.
