Jarod, I have the Deltrain Battery Tender Jr. on my bike I keep parked for 2 to 3 months at a time. It as a connector that can be left on the bike and plugged in when parked. I had tried another non-name brand tender and it fried my battery. I'm not a big name brand guy but in this case I'd go with the deltrain. If you search on Amazon you can get it for about $25. It comes with both the permanent mounts you can put on your bike and clips just incase you want to put it on a battery to for a short term
Search for "battery tender" and the top responses will be the Deltrain.
