on a atv or skidoo as it sits in the machine without harming anything electrical? I have always taken them out in the past,guess I'm getting lazy in my old age. Yes but disconnect charger/ maintainer b4 turning key on machine if its a newer one with digital electronics.

I do it all the time, charge on low amp and heavy amp if I'm inclined to get it going right away.
When your charging the battery the voltage is roughly thje same as the battery, amps are the determining factor on how fast it takes to charge the battery.
Its no different than when the alternator is charging the battery.
Battery charger has no effect of any consequence on the rest of the electrical system. What he said. Thats one beauty of voltage regulated systems.

I don't know the answer but..., I'm impressed Boco asked a question Lol I thought the same thing. Why would me asking a question be surprising,I'm not what you would call mechanically inclined,although I can do some basics.I guess thats why I am religious about maintaining my vehicles. I know a lot of guys on here are whiz bang at mechanical stuff. Thanks for the input everyone.

I run one of those Battery Saver chargers on my snowmobile year round and never disconnect the cables while it's in the sled. Would it be any different on an ATV?
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

He's just trying to hit 45,000 posts.
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

dont try to charge when frozen takes a battery 24 hours at room temp to thaw out many times a frozen battery will separate the plates and you dont have a 12v any more
some guys I know have solar chargers hook up for reassurance at the remote cabins
Chickmechanic today did a good review on redoing a mag that the magnets loosened and the lawnmower was not charging X2

Around here you are not considered a finished trapper, if you can't fix your equipment. At least he has removing batteries dialed in. [/quote] Never heard that one before/

I use this brand of battery tender on everything, they won't overcharge and kill a battery. I have them on everything and have never had an issue. Trickle chargers have killed batteries in the past. When I am ready to use something, the batteries are up to full charge and ready to go. I never remove the batteries on anything. I use the two smaller ones for the most part. https://www.batterytender.com/?gad_...goHqNg2MV9LSe46YeEmfxKxxFghoCdAUQAvD_BwE
