A quick battery question (Jump Start)

[7thgear]

Hey guys.. My GS is running on a dry battery and since I am away from home for almost a month I am not sure how much power would be left in the battery. I'll be back home in about a week's time, Just wanted to ask if it is safe to jump start a DRY battery by connecting it to the car's battery? I have done the jump start thing on my previous bike but that had a wet battery so I am not sure if it works equally good with the dry battery too??

Thanks..

I've jump started every bike I've ever had at least a few times every winter riding year around here in NE Ohio without a problem.  Mostly wet ones but I've been on Scorpion sealed batteries for 3-4 years now, currently on the 2nd one.  I've only jumped a Scorpion battery a couple times so far.  They start better in the winter than wet ones did, seem to have more voltage left for spark while cranking when cold.

Its summer over here, I hope the battery has not drained all of the power yet..so that means I can jump start a dry battery too..thanks for the info.

Yeah, you can jump it no problem. but don't turn the car on!!! that'll blow the fuse

Yes, I'll do it with the car off. Thanks..
