Agreeing.....the 'tender' is a relatively precision regulated voltage output device, designed with the idea that holding the already fully charged battery at a specific voltage, corresponding to fully charged state, will prevent the battery from discharging internally. Ideally, not really charging the battery as much as preventing self-discharge by off-setting the internal discharge current, typically a very small number.
The best tenders are temperature compensated such that their output voltage tracks the "fully charged battery voltage" with temperature, as that voltage is different depending on battery temperature.
I, too had good luck on seldom used motorcycle. Yes, I know, just ride more often!
