It is my understanding that a battery needs "exercised". Long periods

With that said, is it possible that if I wired my battery (in
parallel) to my Ford truck battery, will it be "exercised" and be
ready for another full year of boating, or will it damage the PWC
battery?
I'm trying to avoid the cost of trading in the old battery and
purchasing a new battery each summer.
Thanks in advanced,

Take the battery out of the boat, clean it off, fill it with distilled
water if it needs it, and carry down to your basement or storage room.
Give it a trickle charge and trickle charge it once a month.

Do not hook it up to your truck.- Hide quoted text -

Why not?

What "will" go wrong?

What is the amp/hour rating for a PWC battery versus a full size truck
battery? Just out of curiosity.

I had another friend suggest wiring it up to a 12-volt headlight for
the laundry room, then charge it each month.

I will look into the trickle charger suggestion.
