Jet Ski Battery Guide: AGM vs Lithium & Essential Summer Maintenance Tips
Description
Don’t let a dead battery stall your summer!
Whether you’re a marine dealer preparing for the holiday rush or a rider getting ready for the waves, having a reliable battery is non-negotiable. Jet skis and personal watercraft (PWCs) face extreme conditions—saltwater corrosion, intense vibration, and high-heat engine bays—that standard batteries simply can’t handle.
In this video, we dive into the Enertec Marine Range, comparing high-performance AGM and Lithium solutions. Discover why Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology is the gold standard for shock resistance and why a CTEK smart charger is your battery's best friend during the off-season.
Why Marine Batteries are Different:
- Vibration Resistance: Built with reinforced plates to survive choppy water and heavy impacts.
- Corrosion Protection: Sealed, spill-proof designs to withstand saltwater environments.
- High Cranking Power: Engineered for the rapid ignition and throttle response PWCs demand.
- Low Self-Discharge: Perfect for seasonal toys that might sit idle between holidays.
Top 5 Summer Prep Tips:
- The Pre-Season Charge: Use a CTEK charger to bring batteries to 100% before the first launch.
- Terminal Check: Inspect for blue/white corrosion and ensure connections are tight.
- Mount Security: Ensure the battery is locked down; loose batteries fail faster due to vibration.
- Cool Storage: Avoid leaving your battery in a hot, sealed hull for months at a time.
- The 50% Rule: Keep AGM batteries above 50% charge to maximize their total lifespan.
