Here's my plan.

Last night I stuck a test light on the battery to drain as much juice out of it as possible. I'll leave it on until the weather clears up as it is wet and snowing outside now and I'm not gonna setup my charger in this weather.

When it clears up I will set the battery in the middle of the back yard along with the charger at about 6 feet away (the length of the charging leads). From there the charger will be plugged into an extension cord which is plugged into an outside outlet that is controlled by a switch inside the house. Safety is my big concern and then recovering the battery.

The good news is that I never hurt anything on the snowmobile. When I put it on charge the battery was still connected to the machine. I stupidly tried the ignition before I had my head straight and she spun once and then nothing. I figure a fuse saved me there. I went out after and gave her a few tugs and she started. Whew!

Worst case scenario, I'll have to buy a new battery so my fiancee can start her machine when we ride this winter.

Thanks for the advice!

Rene
