I use a battery Tender on mine during the winter when in storage. it keeps it topped off all the time so even if the shaker system is pulling a small bit it will keep it all good!

was showing a surface charge of 12.3 , but once you turn the ignition my batt nosedived to 8.9 volts

it wouldn't hold a charge anymore, even with a charger
