Sea Doo Personal Watercraft – most models of this brand of watercraft experience an electrical load on the battery during storage, caused by a control module monitoring the lanyard socket. If the lanyard is left installed the electrical drain is 18mA after 10 minutes of shutting down the engine. If the lanyard is removed, the electrical drain is 7mA. These electrical loads are continuous and can accumulate to be significant over time. At 18mA, the battery will lose 1.0AH of capacity in 55.5 hours or 10.0AH in 23 days. On a PC625, 10 Ah is 59% of battery capacity.

Solution – for Sea Doo watercraft always disconnect the lanyard from its socket when not riding the watercraft. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery when the watercraft will not be used for 3 weeks or more. A simplified method of disconnect is to install a waterproof battery switch.

Warranty - ODYSSEY batteries that are deeply discharged and not fully recharged or batteries that are stored with an electrical load applied with a resultant loss in delivered capacity are not covered by the ODYSSEY 2-year warranty.
