Me too
I've been having trouble with batteries in my 93 SS a lot. I don't get to ride it often, so when the bike sits for long periods or winter storage I thought hooking up a trickle charger would keep the battery fresh. Though it does charge a battery that's too low, if the charger is connected too long I found out that it will eventually cook away all the electrolytes in the battery.
Come back to the battery after sitting on the charger for over a month and there would be no water in it - bone dry! So either I disconnect or completely remove a charged battery for storage or play games with the damn charger. Very frustrating.
But thanks for the info on the lithium battery - I will definitely be checking that out - no more water would be a big relief!
