Battery Question
 
I have left the Gladiator sitting for a few months and the batteries went down. I have an onboard charger that plugs into the shore power but the question is..... how long can you leave the charger going??? Will I cook the batteries if I leave it hooked up??? With fuel prices coming back down I might just use the thing!!!!!

It will eventually cook them. A couple days is not going to hurt. However, before you plug in, check the fluid levels first (if you can) or you will really cook them.

The best thing to do is run it.

They sit dormant too long and they will sulfate. Running really gets the silt up of the bottom and a good charge.

Hey Brett!

I've been waiting to here how you liked going back to side by sides (if you posted, I did not catch it).

Ironically, I had the same question n the charger. Interesting that there is absolutely no information on this in the paperwork binder supplied by the factory.

Di you part with your canopied boat yet?
