VOLUME 57 ISSUE 27 JULY 7, 2020 P87 S TANDOUT FEATURE Monitors and warns you when your battery is getting low and needs a charge. RIDER AN ALYSIS Allowing your battery to discharge can do irreparable damage, which can leave you stranded and cost you time and money to re- place. And if you are talking about a lithium battery in most high-end off-road bikes, the cost is at least $100. I have ruined a few motorcycle batteries over the years and even more batteries in our RV (at a cost of $200 for two batteries each time). So, I was pretty happy to see this $36 option to remind me to charge my batteries. I installed one on my KTM 450 EXC in about 30 minutes with most of that time finding a place to squeeze it in the extremely limited space under the seat on those bikes. The app and Bluetooth setup was also easy. Anytime you are within 30 feet of the unit, it transfers data to the app and gives you an update. I have had this on the bike for about a year now and it is great to get the regular updates to remind me to charge the battery or at least take it for a short ride. This is a re- ally simple but useful tool that can save a lot of aggravation with your motorcycles, cars, boats or RVs.
