I usually begin to prepare my bike for storage over the winter when the temperatures on average begin to drop below 15 degrees Celsius. The bike is under the covers in the garage and stays in there until the spring! I take the battery out of the bike and bring in indoors and leave it on a trickle charger.
This year, I purchased a TecMate OptiMate 3 Motorcycle Battery Charger and plan to leave the battery installed on the bike and leave the charger connected during storage.
Would leaving the battery connected to the bike and the charger connected to the battery 24/7 during storage in the garage have adverse effects on the battery or when the temperatures fall well below 0 degrees Celcious? I also have a Scorpio SR-i900R alarm connected, would the charger damage the alarm or any other electronic devices connected to the battery?
I believe the above situations would be fine; however, opinions please...
Thanks,
Gordon
