Just got my 2011 Nomad 1700 delivered, now sitting in my unheated garage. The owner's manual says to take out the battery and keep indoors. Then on the other pages it showed that batteries discharge faster on warmer temp. and stays pretty much 100 percent when cold. My garage temp. goes down to 5- 7c but never below 0. I probably wont be riding until sometime April next year, unless of course we get a break and get a dry sunny day from this wintry weather. Would a battery tender hooked up the whole time ok? It also said on the manual that if the bike is left sitting for a few months, just the clock which is constantly running can drain the battery.
Any advise from experienced Nomad owners? Thanks.
