+1 on the battery tender, although you have eliminated one source of drain disconnecting that is not the full answer. All batteries have parasitic drain that will, over time, kill the battery.katnapinn said:
Battery Drain
Hi all,
I have read a number of threads relating to battery drain which I have experienced on my 2002 LT.
Today I gave it some real thought and removed the Fuse protecting the Instrument panel and Computer , He Presto no power drain and much easier than disconnecting the battery.
As I only get to ride occasionally this will be an easy way of minimising loss of power from the battery.
Nothing more annoying than getting the opportunity for a ride and finding the battery has not enough power to start the bike.
The fuse on a 2002 and earlier LT to remove is the top fuse (4amps) middle box.
PS
We are enjoying some wonderful weather at the moment in the SE of the UK.
