Both are good

I've used Battery Tenders for many years on motorcycles, cars, and mower. Right now I've got a Battery Tender Jr. and an Optimate. The Optimate has some extra bells & whistles, but they both do the job.

I did lose one MC battery to an original Battery Tender and another to an off-brand trickle charger I got from the auto parts store. Both were old lead acid batteries. But I've never lost a modern gel or AGM battery.

EDIT: I also recommend permanently installing a lead with a SAE connector to the battery terminals, so you can quickly connect/disconnect a charger without having to access the battery.
