TE310 Fuel pump cycles w/ battery tender

I hooked up my battery tender to my 2013 TE310. I connected the supplied harness to the battery, ran the plug through an opening in the side panel, reinstalled the seat, plugged in the tender and............ITS ALIVE. Then I heard someone say "what the " Odd, since I was alone in the garage. It seems that the fuel pump will cycle on and off. 1 second on - 1 second off -1 second on - etc. This is the same battery tender I used on my 2011 TE250 and it worked fine. But it had an ignition switch and the 2013 does not. I am playing it safe and disconnected the battery and am using the battery clips to connect the tender. Really not a problem......just strange.

I have mine hooked up as you did. When I connected the tender it would make a click/click every few seconds but stopped soon thereafter as the battery was pretty well charged to begin with. Would be good to know if it's a bad idea on the '13.

Bizzare......no way that should happen.

how can a battery tender energize the pump relay?

I am experiencing the same issue here. This post is a little old but did anyone ever find out if this is bad for the bike? I would prefer to keep mine on a tender as it can be a few weeks between rides.

I removed mine from the Husky when I installed the earthX battery. Too much switching for me to leave it wired.
