Fun fact: the alligator clips can be removed from the cable that came with the charger to reveal the rings exactly like the adapter you bought but didn't need.

Thanks for the tip, I doing it.

I have found that -5c or lower the first 1 or 2 attempts to start will fail. I think it has a lot to do with the protection circuit built into the battery. It's probably less noticeable on a machine with less electronics but on my vr1 it causes the 7s display to restart, which gets annoying. Ive effectively ended up using it like a skidoo "Shot" system. I pull the first start of the day, and then its button starts for the rest of the day.

Lithium batteries no not need to be on a tender for storage. It’s also best to store them slightly discharged.

[@tracksnwheels]

You are correct. I was speaking from my experience with LiPo rc batteries but I've read that LiFePO4 Iron phosphate batteries are much easier to store.

I think the lead acid holds up to the cold weather better.

When researching this battery I read in a couple of places that you need to "Wake up" the battery when temps get around -10c. The first 2 or 3 turns of the key usually fail. Then for whatever reason the either the cells or the electronic controller in the battery wake up and you can start. I experienced this exact scenario.

@@tracksnwheels this is correct may be annoying but has never left me stranded

How is it holding up? Just ordered one but wondering if it was the right choice. I have an 2006 MXZ 600 which I can still pull start which isn’t bad.

[@tracksnwheels]

The battery turns the machine over just fine but there is a trick to starting in temps below -5. Check out my follow-up video for a better idea of how it worked out for me last season. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJWZgZdpYpp1jMU

Cold weather isn't good for lithium charge/discharge.

Those AMPS ARE FALSE CLAIM! This battery cannot provide 500A under any temperature condition and any given time NLP14 can peak at 280A Some of my customers have these batteries self discharge in a manner of days You gotta be lucky to buy the right batch
