I have read some threads about advising against jumping starting a 914 from car to car. Can someone please explain why this is not a good ideal and is it the same with putting my charger on Hi start power boast mode for 15 minutes which I have done several times. If these have the potential to harm the electrical system then would those hand held battery power boasters also have the potential to cause damage???
BTW....Now I just leave a 1.5 amp trickle charger hooked up. Hope that's ok !! |

Running the engine with a discharged battery (after a bump or boost start) will cause the alternator to produce max. current output to recharge the battery. This can stress the alternator and shorten its service life.
Recommend to first recharge the battery using a trickle charger, then use a battery maintainer to keep a stored vehicle charged and ready to go. Sherwood |
