Thank you for video, very helpful. I ended up attaching foam to box instead of battery to see if I can save for a new battery in future. Will see how it holds up. Had to work with ground cable to reach battery negative. Cut all the black tape put on cables by Seadoo to free up some length. Replaced tape as needed upon completion of installation. Put both foams on back side of battery with no foam on front side which pushed the battery forward and closer to negative cable. It was exactly the right size, not an inch to spare, fits absolutely perfect. Also, didn't attach zip ties until everything was in place. All and all, happy with the upgrade. Getting ready to add speed ties and a sun shade. If you got the Seadoo fenders, recommend tethering to the rails. We lost one last season and not looking to lose another. Thanks again for the video and happy boating.

AGM stands for the type of material used inside the battery. Old style batteries used to be filled with lead plates. These batteries are common as a starter battery. AGM is the same technology except it uses Absorbent Glass Material (AGM) instead of lead plates. (SLA)

SLA actually means Sealed lead acid, they are designed not to spill when turned over, same theory with a VRLA they have a port and hose thats designed not to spill, both commonly used in powersports, most common car is standard lead acid, which require maintenance, AGMs are special in a way because they are sealed, dont require maintenance but have a very different output characteristic.

It shows the terminals attached to the original battery case. The same cables that were attached to the old battery get transferred over to the new terminals. There will be another video next week that adds a switch to allow one to select between batteries. The next video will show all the wiring. This video mainly shown how to install the high capacity battery.

Great video. I had a question I see you have a solar charger hooked up from the hold battery connection. Did you leave that there? I ask because it's obviously much more convenient for me to hook up a trickle/float charger there then it is to the new larger covered one in the center storage. Didn't know if it was ok to set a trickle charge in the middle of the circuit and not directly to the battery

For solar, I added two wires, one to each battery. Then selected which one to connect to the charger. I connected it to the posts in the engine compartment, not directly to battery terminals. I have replaced my solar charger with a Noco dual battery charger/trickle charger. See my video on that install. It is also connected to the battery terminals in the engine compartment. Yes it's fine to connect it there.

Hey Frank I added the high capacity battery kit and battery switch just like you in your videos, But won’t start on the high capacity battery it say’s in dash check key and won’t start when switched to #2 high capacity battery, switched to # 1 and #1&#2 it works fine. Any idea what would cause that. Could it be something to do with break in period or learning key? Which I don’t have

It will depend upon the battery you choose. Mine was a Duracel Marine AGM battery from SAM's. Most Marine batteries have dual terminals.An automotive post and a stud terminal. I connected to the stud terminals with 3/8". I went to West Marine and bought the nuts there and tried them on one of their batteries.

Do you need an isolator in addition to the switch? Great videos!
@Drimplant
@Drimplant 10 ай бұрын
No. You only need an isolator if you want to wire everything up to be able to charge both batteries at the same time. I found this an necessary expense and trouble with doing the required custom wiring.

This video was super helpful! I followed along while I did my high capacity batter install today. Thank you for making this! Did you find that with the 21’ Switch the cables were almost too short? I. Had to stretch the negative cable so tight for it to reach.

I ended up cutting all the black tape put on cables by Seadoo to free up some length on the negative. Replaced tape as needed upon completion of installation. Also, instead of putting one foam on front of battery in box and one on back, I put both foams on the back side which pushed the battery closer to negative cable. That freed up the exact amount of length needed to fit perfectly. The negative cable is not stretched at all nor is it tight across the top of battery box.

@letsrolldiyauto1532
@letsrolldiyauto1532 Ай бұрын
It's connected to the engine stator, just like the smaller battery. If you use just the high capacity battery, all the terminals just attach to the high capacity battery. See the video on adding a switch to select between the high and low capacity batteries. When the high capacity battery is selected, all charging and power are directed to and from the high capacity battery. When the low capacity battery is selected, everything to it.

Hi Frank, my husband followed your video but it's not showing how the small battery connection is hooked up.
@Drimplant
@Drimplant Жыл бұрын
According to the directions, the small battery is not hooked up. You don't want two batteries of different capacities in parallel. It can degrade both batteries. So the smaller one (the original) is not connected. Check my battery switch video. I installed a switch that allows me to select (manually) either battery. While the switch used will allow for both simultaneously, that's not recommended for the same reasons you don't want to connect them together in parallel.

Great video on installation of the Sea Doo HC Battery box/wiring installation. But you didn't show the battery wiring. So based on what you said, you simply replaced the small starting battery with a larger high capacity battery? How do you keep both batteries charged? This is another sea doo engineering design flaw. They put a small PWC battery in a boat, so if you want to run the accessories when the engine is off, you need to install the HC battery. It would have been better if BRP/Sea Doo provided a wiring diagram so you can pull the house loads off the starting battery, keep the alternator and engine on the starting battery, connect them with an A-AB-B switch and a dual battery isolator to allow both batteries to recharge underway. I'm also installing a shore power plug and battery charger/tender that will recharge both batteries when in the slip or on the trailer.
@letsrolldiyauto1532
@letsrolldiyauto1532 Жыл бұрын
That is correct. This video shows simply replacing the stock battery with the high capacity battery according to BRP instructions. See my video on installing a battery switch for using the two. Note, you should not connect both batteries in parallel. Use the switch. I also have a video on adding a Noco charger/tender.

@@letsrolldiyauto1532 Thank you for your response. I did the installation. One issue I ran into was the kit must have been designed for the 19 ft boat. I have a 21 ft boat and the supplied HC battery kit cables were too short, I ended up not securing them to the gas tank tie downs and pulling them taut into the case to get it to fit. Basically, the cables are about 6" too short for proper installation.

A larger capacity battery would certainly be nice. I obviously felt the need to add one. Someone just took a JetSki and modified it to a pontoon. I can see a Jet Ski wanting a smaller battery to save on weight in order to increase performance.
