We've got a 2017 24' SSBXP 'Swingback' with the dual battery configuration. It's also got the 200HP Mercury Verado engine with Digital Throttle System (DTS). After pulling out of storage, the batteries appear to be drained down a bit, since neither battery #1 or battery #2 will start the engine by itself. When the master switch is positioned on #1 & #2, the engine will start. Bottom line, the batteries need to be put on a charger and brought back up to a full charge. There is no power at the slip and I don't want to bring a generator that I'd have to babysit for hours. My challenge is that if both batteries are removed at the same time, I know the DTS will lose power and have to be reset, probably causing maintenance visit charge of $100+. So, can anyone explain the proper technique/process to remove one battery at a time for recharging, so that power is not completely lost to the DTS?
