PWC Winter Battery - How To Make It Last Until Next Summer

Long periods of non-usage (over the fall/winter/spring months) will result in the battery loosing its charge and not be able to accept a charge. 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, Dizouglas 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 - - Show quoted text - Why not? |
