Astrid: Battery Tender Jr.

After a few kickstarts and idling for a minute, the new UB645 battery dropped from 6.4V to 6.29V.  I hooked it up to the Battery Tender Jr. for the first time today.  Unfortunately, the UB645 has some male spade connectors (bent at 90 degrees) and neither the included ring connectors or alligator clips made for good attachments. 

I tried electrical tape to keep them in place, but I think they kept separating, since I'd sometimes see the light on the Battery Tender go out.  Then I'd fix the contacts and then the light came back.

It charged in "storage" mode (green light) for about 30-40 minutes, and the voltage went from 6.29 to 6.38.

I'll try to make a more solid connector and then see what happens with a longer charge.
