It's been such a strange winter here near Rochester, NY.. there's no grass to mow, no snow to plow, nothing really to do with the tractor.. so poor Jez just sits out in the unheated pole barn waiting.
I was wondering about putting a battery charger on it from time to time. It's a JD4300, so has no voltage meter..
If I use a battery charger, can I do it without having to disconnect the battery from the tractor.. i.e., just hook up the charger without disconnecting the cables?
If I just start up the tractor from time to time and let it run, maybe drive it around a bit, how long should I run it before I can safely assume the battery is completely charged?
I know.. dumb newbie questions... but probably better to ask dumb questions than to do dumb things! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Thanks,
Bob
