Having an issue with the wife's 2008 600HO sdi. Battery has been on trickle charger all summer, and sled was started every 2 weeks since last summer. As prep started for the season, suddenly sled wouldn't start and battery was dead. Pulled the battery and initially it wouldn't take a charge, but charger didn't show battery was bad. It was minus 1f at the time. Brought it into house, through it on slow charge, and it took and held a charge. Installed on sled and fired right up and ran great for a day. Next day battery alarm going off, but sled started easy. Dies between the cabin and trailer. Thankfully limped back to trailer. I am horrible with electrical stuff, so am not sure I have a bad battery or something else and really not sure where else to start. Have checked all connections and fuses, all are good. Any input would be appreciated. Also, battery was replaced in mid February last year. Thanks.

My wife has the same sled.
Had all kinds of issues like you mentioned.
Bought a new battery and all was good.

Thanks, will give it a try. Battery was actually new last spring, so will return it. Appreciate the input.

If your charger doesn't go into a float charge mode it may have just boiled the battery dry over the summer.

I had a 1000 sdi and the battery went dead and it wouldn't run. I put a new battery in it and all was good.
