I posted this question in GD last night but ended up finding a 1.25A Battery Tender at my local auto shop...
Still interested in an answer from you guys...no replies in GD...

New Yuasa AGM motorcycle battery...
I added the electrolyte and then discovered my Battery Tender Jr. is a 750 mA tender.

Instructions for initial battery charge:
- if using a constant current charger refer to charging method printed on battery. CHARGING METHOD 1.2 A x 5-10 hours
- If using an automatic type charger, current amps should be equal to or greater than the 1.2 amps

So, I have a 750mA battery tender, auto charger but the amps are too low
And I have a 2 A trickle charger (not automatic)

I'd appreciate some advice on how to proceed....

for agm batteries, this is the one recommended.

while battery tender says they work, if you do the research, everyone like this better.

I also hate battery tender for their bad warranty. you pay shipping to them and back to you if something is wrong with your tender.

Great reviews too...I've had good luck with my BT Jr. over the past five years on multiple bikes...I got bent for $65 bucks last night for the BT High Efficiency unit last night ($55 on Amazon)...

Didn't have much time to research but appreciate the link. I'll keep it in mind if I need a third BT or replacement.
