Proper Powersports Vehicle Storage Matters

As seasons change, many powersports vehicles are decommissioned and put into storage.

To help ensure a healthy battery when it’s time to power your vehicle back up to operate on land, sea or snow, consider the following storage guidelines:

  • Inspect the battery to make sure the cables and their housings are in good condition and the connectors are secured tightly to the battery.
  • For conventional flooded lead acid battery designs, check the battery’s electrolyte levels and replenish as needed.
  • Make sure the battery is stored at a full State of Charge (SOC).
  • If the battery is stored in a cold environment, periodic charging or connection to a trickle charger or battery maintainer will help ensure batteries are kept at a full SOC.
  • Try to store your vehicle in a safe and dry location.
