I have never had a problem just disconnecting the batteries on my boat
(fully charged) and leaving them in place during the winter lay-up.


I have bought 4 batteries in 4 years now.


The battery will not be strong enough to start the PWC (even when the
battery charge ways the battery is full).


What did you previously do with the battery over the winter lay-up?


One year, I left it disconnected inside the PWC, Last years it sat on
the basement floor. I suspected the first battery charger didn't
work, so I replaced it, sat all winter on the charger, still ruined
it.

What kind of batteries are you buying, what are you paying for them, and
where are you buying them?


I bought the battery at a "Batteries Unlimited" store. The battery
type is "Xtreme Permaseal High Performance AGM Jet Ski, Powersport
Battery - XTA16CL-B-BS"

It cost about $70.00

The salesmen stated that it's a gel, 12-month warranty (just in time
for it to die before next summer)
