I was going to take the battery out...because I won't be riding for a week or 2...and now i lost one of the little screws that screw the terminals on the wire...

can I just use any screw?...or does it have to be a specific metal?

where should i store the battery?...I don't have a garage...


thanks

Any bolt/screw that has the sme thread is fine. Make sure it the right length... very short... else it will punch a hole in the top of your battery.

For storage, i leave mine in the basement, away from direct sunlight and in a room with low humidity (otherwise it looses its charge quickly) and i recharge mine every month or so....

Best thing to do is get a "battery tender."

It's connects two lead to the battery and leaves a small connector under the seat.  You just plug it in, plug it in....  A small wall wart type charger plugs in the wall.  It keeps a vary small amount of charge on the battery during times of no riding.

If your worried about freezing, keep it inside but don't set in on a cement floor.  This can cause the chemicals to break down faster.
