Wildbill Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 In the 2009 manual it says 2Amps. perhaps on the larger newer batteries it is permissible . On the older batteries it will kill them . Over all more batteries are damaged by overcharging than any other cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxzx121 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Any ski-doo/sea-doo battery can be charged at 2 Amps. They just don't recomend leaveing it on the charger for more than 10 hrs. ski-doo used the same wet battery from the early 80's up to the 2000's.

They just don't recomend leaveing it on the charger for more than 10 hrs. ski-doo used the same wet battery from the early 80's up to the 2000's. Actally even a 1974 tnt 340 used the Y-50-N18L-A battery . I have new Yuasa batteries in stock (the battery supplier for BrP ) So i took the owners manual out of the box for the battery . It recommends strongly against a 2 amp charge instead looking for a 1 amp charge depending on the state of the battery.. I then opened the battery case for the newer BrP battery and read it . The manual and the sticker on the battery contradict each other They want you to test voltage and charge as follows 12.8-13 volts do not charge 12.5-12.8 volts 3-6 hrs charge 12.0-12.5 volts 5-11 hrs charge 11.5 - 12 volts 13 hrs and verify state of charge 11.5 volts or less 20 hrs of charge And it states in bold print and underlined "Overcharging can harm your battery beyond recovery" It also states to refer to the manual for the charger.

DooGTXFan Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well it looks like this battery charge has caused a dilemma. The easiest way for me is to let it run to recharge the sleds own charging system do the job and I won;t have to worry about 1/2 amp, 1 amp or 2 amps. So anyone know how long I should leave the sled running to get a good charge? It was almost dead on saturday but had pleny of juice to start it on Sunday, Maybe I should by a voltmeter and check it?

Still overall the best charging method (other than going riding is the "battery tender jr " by deltran . It will automatically give the battery what it needs without overcharging it . They are available for less than $40.00 and are reliable. We have sold them for years now with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxzx121 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Back to first question. The battery in a 800 GTX can be charged at 2 Amps. There should be a sticker on the top of the battery that says 1.8 Amps. 200 mA will not make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmxz Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yoe can charge with a 2 amp charger, but you must baby sit it, dont over charge, dont let the battery get hot or even warm. I wouldn't leave a 2 amp on for more then a couple of hours ata time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
