I've got a couple bikes that need to have a 'ring harness' hooked up to them so I can run my battery tenders to them this winter.

My tenders came with a 'fused ring harness', but I only have a couple without the fuses. I'm concerned that without the fuse, there may be a problem with the BTs hooked up for some time.

True...? Or should I just not worry?

Should I just buy a couple Battery Tender fused harnesses, make my own, or just hook up the non-fused deals?

Thanx in advance, folks. I appreciate it.

make your own

I think anything connected directly to the battery terminals ought to be fused. A short there w/o a fuse could be, um, bad--- yeah, that's the word; bad.

Whether you get additional harnesses from your battery tender vendor or make your own, anything should have an in-line fuse.

IMHO - get a terminal strip for both your A+ and your ground. One fused cable from the A+ (positive) battery post and one cable from your ground (negative) post to each terminal strip. More than one "ring" or "eyelette" under the screw terminal and you run the risk of vibration working the screw terminal loose. Just a good sense measure.

I have no idea what this means. I can do some stuff that others cannot do, but this is not one of them. :?

Can I buy a "fused module" with a couple of pigtails (or some such) and just hook 'em up inline of some such? I have limited electrical skills, so I'll need guidance here, folks.

Or, should I just buy some $8 plus shipping BT harnesses?

Thanx.
