you can do both, it will charge normally albiet a touch slower thru the cables.

Battery are the best thing ever invented, well worth the money. The keep your battery at perfect charge all the time. Even if it's in storage forever.

I always charge the battery on the bike with the battery tender and the permanant pigtail connectors that come with it .Fast,reliable and goof proof.

Have the same setup .... just changed batteries.... I figured 6 years for the same one was pushing it... but it was charged like this the whole time...
