Charging

[FlightPlanDan]

I've done a search on this but no specific answer yet.

Is it possible to damage your CDI, or anything else, by charging the battery while it's still hooked up? If the lanyard is in? I've heard conflicting thoughts on this issue.

I've never heard of such a thing. I always have my battery on the charger/tender, and its still in the ski and hooked up.

I used to have a zip tie wrapped around the my start stop switch, so I didn't have to use a lanyard. I charged it like that all the time, and never had a problem.

Not to familiar with the superjet electronics but I hook my Battery Tender Jr to my batter after every ride. Yes, the battery stays in the ski and is hooked up. Same thing with my Pro 785. Never had an issue.

I seriously doubt you could damage a CDI by leaving the battery connected but it might be possible if you hooked up the polarity of the battery the wrong way.

Thanx all. That's what I thought. I recently replaced a bad CDI with an enhancer. A friend who "works on ski's" said that I may have damaged it while charging.

The stock cdi does not make connection with B+ at any time! It does not care what the bat voltage is. Now please put your electrical box back together.

It's been done since Sunday! Ready to rock!

The fuse will pop if you do that.
If you do not have a fuse, the voltage regulator will pop.

No CDI damage.
