Yup, bought a $45 cheap-o from Wal-mart (everstart), filled it with acid, hooked up the charger awhile later, and phoomp, no charger no more....hmmm

Anyway, can I just hook some jumper cables from a car battery to the ATV battery and let and sit for awhile and accomplish anything?

Or would I be able to throw it in the scrambler and ride around awhile to get it to charge?

Just wondering what my options are till I get ahold of a charger.

Thanks!!

 

Your only option is to pick up another charger . The bikes charging system is only designed to maintain a charge not charge a battery up and cables won't do **** . Don't buy or use a automotive charger buy a charger thats designed for power sport batteries like the The smartest battery chargers in the world, by CTEK Power INC. chargers .

 

Ditto on charging. Seen a few posts where folks have bought dirt cheap trickle chargers from Harbor Freight Tools and had no issues. I got mine years ago from Batteries Plus for @ $25. Use it regularly on all my wheelers/bikes and it's still going strong.

 

is it possible to run cut the wires on the trickle charger and add another plug to charge two batteries at once?

 

Don't think I'd advise it. You may overload the charger and destroy it if it wasn't originally designed for it.
