One or two recent threads discussed batteries and charging with caps on or off. I just pulled my battery for the winter and discovered that my battery is a sealed, maintenance free type and is leakproof and spillproof. It comes fully charged ready to install. Price was about $58.00.

Hope this works and helps.

No question about it, AGMs are better in almost any application. And tf they last twice as long, (and most do) you really got your moneys worth.

Can I use the Schmacher 1.5 amp companion with a sealed battery like this?
It charges with 1.5 amps then goes into float mode after the battery is charged. I probably wouldn't leave it on all winter.
Thanks

I used a Deltran Battery Tender Junior with a 750ma output last winter. I let it float all winter. The bike was in a shed in upstate NY and she started right up in the spring. I did start her 2 or 3 times throughout the winter.

I have 2 of the same type batteries in my 24v B&D mower, only they are 18 amp hr. 6 months ago I replaced the original ones at 8 yrs old. The original 24v charger gave up after only a year, so the last 7 yrs they have been charged w. a Schumacher 1.5 amp 2 stage charger, floating at 13.2v. I charge them thru a series/parallel switch to charge at 12 volts. And it stays on continously. It is the same charger at WM and at Sears w/ the Diehard name on it.
