Stitches040 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Disconnect the Battery's Positive connection (or, simply remove the whole battery) ... Use a trickle charger, 1A or 2A should do the trick ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomp62301 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I just start mine up every 4 to 5 weeks when it sits for a long period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitches040 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 MY real question was which trickle charger. Thanks guys Doesn't really matter ... any 12v Trickle or Float charger will do. I have a Schumaker (*sp) charger .. It's capable of 1, 2, 10, 30, and 60 amp charges. The 60 is for a quick jolt, so you can jump the batter quick. I paid like $30.00 at Wal-mart for it ....

Thanks, so you just set it for 1 or 2 and leave it for the winter? I have been just disconnecting the battery and then starting it every several weeks.Battery Tender Which model do you use?
