cndnmax Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I just received this USB charger that plugs directly into the sae connector of your battery tender lead! It's made by Motobatt and it's only $6 with free shipping from here:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2072NG2104&FM=1br] The USB connector is a little bigger than I expected but it has an output of 2.1amp. That is pretty much the max that a USB 2.0 can utilize, Therefore, it will be able to charge any phone/tablet/gps/camera you have. Both ends have a "weather resistant" cover so you should be able to mount it where you want, I just stuck mine under the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybmx Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have this installed long time ago. FYI: the one I have has a parasitic draw that will drain the battery in a few days. I'm not sure if mine was a bad unit or they were all like that, just thought that you guys should be aware. Disconnect the pigtail while not in use solved the issue.

I'm not sure if mine was a bad unit or they were all like that, just thought that you guys should be aware. Disconnect the pigtail while not in use solved the issue. I didn't think of this. Your right, any charger or electronics will constantly use power. I measured this one to just under 16mA. I'm not sure what the amp HR capacity of the oem battery is but let's call it 12Ahr- a 16mah load would theoretically take 750 hrs to fully discharge the battery. Now real world is a little different because the bike will use up some power too and you need enough left over to start the bike but most people should be fine unless storing it for long periods. Keep in mind that this drain will happen with anything that doesn't have a physical disconnect (i.e. Unplugging or ignition switched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanomenal07 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Where can you plug that on the fz07. I have the battery tender he that I plug into my cbr but can't find that plug on the fz07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstertt Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Where can you plug that on the fz07. I have the battery tender he that I plug into my cbr but can't find that plug on the fz07I just ran my leads back to the battery...this way I can leave the usb connector unplugged and use the lead for the battery tender.

Premium Member DewMan Posted September 4, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 Another option: I used this Fused SAE pigtail attached directly to the battery which I ran back under the pillion seat which allows easy access for either charging or quick disconnect to prevent power draw. Then used this 5ft SAE cord to run to the front of the bike following the wiring harness where I then plugged in the quick disconnect USB plug . DewMan Just shut up and ride.

shinyribs Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I've had a few different USB charging ports installed and never had any luck out of any of them. When plugged in, the phone would say it was charging, but it would actually discharge the phone battery instead. Any of y'all have issues with that?

To be honest, I installed mine for a trip but never used it so I don't know but I'll give it a test and get back to you...if nothing else I'll leave the lead for the tender.

So I plugged in my phone while I was dinking with the bike and the charge went from 52% to 76% in about a half, the bike battery started out at 12.41 volts and dropped to 12.27 volts while charging phone...so far it works...Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No biggie, just hope yours works ok if you get one and mine keeps working. Where I mounted mine seems to be a decent spot, I used that little mount pad already on the rt. side by countersinking a center hole in a pc. of 1/8" alum bar stock for a metric flat head screw (size I forget) and loctiting this to the mount point...I drilled and tapped two outboard holes in the bar to match the ears on the motopower...6-32 screws I think.

Are you able to leave everything connected and not have it kill your battery? I already have the fused SAE pigtail attached to my battery for storage purposes with the battery Tender, so may as well grab the other cord and plug. I like the size of this plug over the Yamaha accessory plug and I'll have more options for placement. Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the size of this plug over the Yamaha accessory plug and I'll have more options for placement. The setup has been working without issue. I've made one change to the setup though. I swapped out the Battery Tender brand USB charging port to This similar USB charger that has two USB ports and shows current battery voltage as well. I did not use any of the wiring that came with the new USB port. I do unplug it from the extension cable due to the LED voltage display between ride. I did not experience any noticed parasitic draw on the Battery Tender quick disconnect USB port, during the short time I used it, leaving it plugged in. DewMan Just shut up and ride.
