Battery tenders are good for short periods of charging. I would not run 1 all winter. The battery should come out of the bike and into a controlled climate for the winter and not on a metal surface.

I run 12 pieces of lawn equipment and several excavators and backhoes. We use to run tenders for the winter months but noticed it shortens the life of the battery. We now get 5-6 seasons where with tenders they were fried in 3 seasons.
