Trickle Charging Your Battery

No snowmobiling in July. No boating in December. Power sports are seasonal but their batteries need attention all year round.

Batteries will gradually lose their charge as they sit in storage during the off season. Avoid a dead snowmobile on the first snowfall in November and follow these simple steps to keeping your DieHard battery at full power.

Step1

Use a trickle charger that matches your battery's output. The DieHard Automatic Battery Charger can be used on 12 volt DieHard Gold PowerSport Batteries and automatically switches to float mode after full charge is achieved.

Step2

Attach the DieHard Automatic Battery Charger's cable clamps to the respective battery posts. The red, positive cable connects to the positive post and the black, negative, cable attaches to the negative post.

Step3

Push the charger's accessory plug into the cigarette lighter of the vehicle and plug the AC adapter into a 110 volt receptacle and power on.

Step4

Leave the battery charger connected to the DieHard Gold PowerSport Battery and check occasionally. Be careful not to overcharge or undercharge the battery because both instances could shorten the battery's life span.
