Battery charging

GTO · 03-22-2010, 12:25 PM

In the past, at the beginning of each season, I would just attatch the battery charger to the Seadoo battery, add some water to the dried cells, And dissconnect when I was done, using an old fashioned charger (no settings). I am looking to upgrade to a new charger and would appreciate some suggestions on what to look for. The Seadoo battery and marine battery for the trolling motor is all I will be charging.

Also, what is the proper way to charge a battery that has been sitting all winter?

Add distilled water to the cells?
Leave caps off when charging?
