Off season Vexilar care

[ADKbound]

Since most of my open water fishing is on streams and rivers in hip boots and waders my Vexilar will be getting a long rest until next winter. I was wondering what you guys do to keep your Vex's battery in good condition during the off season. The instruction manual claims it can be kept on the charger without any associated problems. Is that what your guys do? Or, do you store it and just take it out periodically during the off season and charge it for awhile?

I charge mine and put it away( closet shelf ), I try to put on charger every month,but probably more like every 2 months. going on 5 year and still workes great.

Regards,

I have an X67 and when I pack everything away for the off season I give it a full charge first.  Then once in the summer and once in the fall then again as I head out onto the ice.  Third year on this battery no problems.

Keep the battery charged up, But there isn't an off season for my Vex. i made a mount and use it in my Kayak all summer long. It's great to jig with my ice rod over the side and use the Vex. makes the soft water season a little more bareable.

My sonar is going on the boat   bought the kit to put it on the trolling motor for walleye jigging and I'm going to use the portable battery so I dont have to hard wire it.
