I am getting my 914 ready for winter storage. I have a Optima Red Top Battery.

I have a Sears battery maintainer/ charger will that work on a Optima Battery.

The directions mention every other kind of battery,is there any special things to

do ,or special maintainer I should use. I remember reading some thing about

them requiring some sort of special care. But I forgot what !!!!!!!! I seem to do

that a lot lately. What is your opinion ???????? Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
