I was plowing the other day and the display read "Engine Hot" then went away after a short idle period. The day after I went to start it and all I got was a clicking sound. I jumped it and when I went to use the winch it instantly died on me. I jumped it again and tried to move it inside, however it died while moving it. Am I safe to assume that the battery is dead? I do not have access to a volt-meter for the battery. The battery is new as of 5 months ago, however bought it from the local Auto-Zone and not a top of the line battery.
sounds like bad battery to me, if you have to ju,p it to start it, do you have a battery charger?, the winch puts a big load on battery and charging system while plowing, if you go into diagnostic mode on display it will tell you battery voltage, it may be dead too though, I think I would get battery tested and buy one of the AGM batteries if its bad
Hey guys, I installed a new Scorpion AGM battery today and it seems to have done the trick! We'll see how it holds up when plowing this winter. Anyone have suggestions on a battery tender and when to use it? I have one now, however not sure when or how long to use it for.
