Anyone using a power bank?

Most of my motorcycles are in a couple storage units right now.

Unfortunately there's no power in the units for a battery tender nor does the owner allow a solar panel charger.

Usually I rotate riding them often enough I can bring them home and charge the battery overnight and then rotate to the next one. Most have battery tender harnesses on them so very easy to do this.

I also have two cars in storage units with battery disconnects for the negative battery posts. They work fantastic - both cars started right up for me today. But most of my bikes didn't because the batteries didn't have enough juice.

Do I install disconnects for the motorcycle batteries - it would have to be one on a loom to make it easier to access the switch.

Or buy a power bank and hook up a battery tender to them on a rotating basis. The disconnect, if it worked, would be less hassle.

Looking for any suggestions and input here....thanks!

And before you say I should be riding more often...yeah you're right. A broken rib, hurricane, and family stuff has a way of slowing things up in that department. Hoping to get back on track soon though.

Thanks!
