Hey guys, I'm putting my 235 away for the winter this weekend and have some questions for folks who trickle charge over the season. I was told that this battery is a gel type and has to use a specific type of trickle charge setting or I risk frying the battery. Is this legit? Any advice before I stop by the dealer tomorrow?

Get a good battery maintainer not a trickle charger.They handle all types of batteries. I use a CTEK model for my Winter storage. It has worked great for the last 5 Winters.

Update - I see you went with the noco genius 1100 after I already replied saying...

Get a PulseTech Xtreme Charge. It is compatible with gel type batteries. It is amazing. I own one and can't say enough about it. It will extend the life of your battery (for example, I have a motorcycle battery that is already 8 years old). Read some Amazon reviews about it.
