I love what you have shared. I have used a cheap HF tender for many years on cars and tractor batteries. The lawn tractor battery I had that lasted over 8 years was removed and stored in my heated garage at the end of every season. I have done the same with my PWC battery and it’s not ready to give up the ghost. I have friends that end up buying a new PWC battery every year but leave it in the craft. Not the way to go! I will stay with what I know works. Trickle charging over the off season defiantly adds to the longevity of the battery. Store it fully charged and use a trickle charger and it adds many years to the life span 👍. Great video and hopefully you have enlightened some of the viewers.

As always, a fabulous video. I do have a follow-up question: Do you keep the battery maintainer plugged up to the battery during the summer in between rides?

Love the video!! Wondering if you recommend a certain model of charger from CTECK for the standard PWC battery??!

Do you have to wait awhile after misting the engine compartment to let it air dry with the seats off before spraying with WD 40?

Everytime I wash the engine of my jetski I dry the motor with a leaf blower. Every part of the engine. And put some dielectry grease on the battery's terminals and I've never had problems with the corrosion in my battery.

I let my battery go flat over this last winter. Bought a charger today, coincidentally the one from CTEK and it’s charging now. Question though ; if I have the PWC in a heated space over the winter, can I charge the battery in the PWC or should I take it out?

Good question: many argue both sides. We typically err on the side of caution and recommend removing it from the ski and charging it on a shelf or the concrete floor.

What if I ride the ski once a month year round? Is that enough to keep the battery healthy or should I charge it between rides?

You should probably sell it if that’s all you’re going to do

I think that the lower the amperage of the charger the better charge the battery receives.
