Last time I used one under these conditions and went for 10 minute spurts the battery would constantly run down. I could never understand why I would keep it on the trickle, drive for 10 mins and then next time it would turn over slow. I spoke w the factory rep who confirmed this. The idea is to put it away in a fully charged state if possible.
I usually let it run for 20 minutes during the winter once a month and I have a battery tender on it all other times.
Thanks for the info.
