Do not jump start your jet ski with a car or truck!!!
Car and truck batteries are much too powerful for a jet ski battery to handle. You will end up frying your fuses and electronics.
Jet ski batteries should be charged using an automatic smart charger of 2 amps or less. The charger will automatically set voltage and control the charging rate. These can be left on.
To charge your jet ski battery:
- Connect the positive lead from the charger to the battery
- Connect the negative lead from the charger to your battery
- Plug the charger in
- Check the charging lights to be sure the unit is properly working
To disconnect the charger from your battery:
- Disconnect the negative lead from the battery FIRST
- Disconnect the positive lead from your battery
- Reconnect negative lead from the jet ski to the battery
