Battery Bug on 06 Nomad?

I have installed Battery Bugs on my 98 and 08 Wings. Has anyone installed a Battery Bug on their Nomad? If so, can you post photos? Thanks

It's a battery monitor. One of the key benefits listed on their site is it "extends battery life." Personally, I don't see how any monitor can extend the life of the battery. Other than that, it seems worthwhile.

The Battery Bug is a battery starting health monitor. I takes a reading each time you start the engine and displays the health of the battery in percent. As the battery becomes used the percentage reduces until it nears the end of its useful life when an alarm sounds. It also displays current battery voltage, both when the engine is running and when it is not running. There is an alarm for high and low charging rates. The cost for the standard model is about $30 when on sale and the cost for the one specifically made for motorcycles is around $50. I bought mine at Advanced Auto Parts but it is available in other places including NAPA. The Battery Bug will prevent you from being stranded with a dead or non-useable battery.
