This is an excellent article to read as we move into the summer months - when battery powered scrapers are being stored until the start of the next season....  We receive many phone calls in the fall of each year ... asking for assistance with batteries that have 'died'.   Oftentimes, this problem can be avoided by maintaining a charge on the battery during the summer.    Rainbow Power is a Solar Power Coop - with customers who face very similar problems.  Bill Darden has provided some useful tips to help you save and/or revive your scraper batteries. 

If you are experiencing problems with your batteries and cannot get them to recharge, please call us for additional assistance!

Ice King now provides military grade batteries that are better suited for the long storage periods and short running time typical for most scrapers.  The technology employed in these batteries prevents sulfation and lengthens the life of the battery (up to 8 years of useful life).
