Great article. I needed more information on gel batteries. Most motorcycles and ATV's come with gel batteries. I didn't know until too late that you have to trickle charge a gel battery. I believe I ruined my neighbors ATV battery when I jumped started it last deer season. Of course I won't tell him. I'll just let him believe it went bad over winter parked in my garage. Also the motorcycle dealer said that the gel battery in the new cycle can't be stored below freezing. I guess I'll find out if this is true. It is a major operation to remove the battery and it was costing more to heat the garage than it will be to buy a new battery.

As an old Mechanic I find this information quite valuable. Batteries are something we take for granted, and shouldn't. Thanks for the post.
