Trickle charge Waverunner tips (Seadoo RXP)?

[Licursi]

Can someone give me some tips for trickle charging a waverunner? (2006 Seadoo RXP)

What is a better setting, 6 or 12 amps?
Do you just leave it plugged in all the time?, if not how long do you leave it plugged in for? I'm using the ski weekly.

Thanks!

If you use it weekly, you shouldn't have to charge it. I've got a 2004 GTX Limited. I trickle charged it once, after it sat for a year. I put it on 12, let it charge for about 7 hours, took it out, ran it, and let the 'alternator' charge the battery.

I presume you are charging the battery because of the draw from the auto bilge pump. Best idea is to plug in your charger at the lowest setting for about 4 - 6 hrs, the evening before you plan on using it. Or, you could buy a new style, computer controlled charger, and don't worry about it. When buying your new battery, buy the best you can find, the cheapies aren't worth a pinch of poop.
