dogman Posted April 10, 2013 #1 Posted April 10, 2013 Just thinking of getting out for my first ride of the season, and doing a final charge to the battery. I have two battery tenders and 3 batteries, and changed them around every week all winter. All the cords look like an octopus. I disconnected my seadoo battery and went to plug the Venture battery in but dropped the cord. I quickly picked up the cord and matched up the ends and pushed them together. Sparks and a loud pop sound. I connected my seadoo battery to the Venture battery by mistake. The seadoo battery will still take a charge, but the Venture battery will no longer take a charge. All you technical/mechanical guys out there can laugh. Is there any saving the battery or is it toast?
abusive throttle cranker Posted April 10, 2013 #2 Posted April 10, 2013 Its from 2007? I'd say its toast just on that factor. If u used it it would be a crap shoot as to how long it'd be before you would be ded on the side of the road.
MidlifeVenture Posted April 10, 2013 #3 Posted April 10, 2013 You got one year more than I did mine died last year
footsie Posted April 10, 2013 #4 Posted April 10, 2013 Replace it with the original Yuasa, and it will be another 5 to 6 years before you have to replace again. I have never had any other brand last as long. Gregg
pmelah Posted April 10, 2013 #5 Posted April 10, 2013 i would replace it better piece of mind and you may have killed a couple of cells that were weak anyway it would have likely left you on the side of the road better it happened at the house
XV1100SE Posted April 10, 2013 #6 Posted April 10, 2013 Now's the time to upgrade to a Deka ! Difference in price isn't that much.
