BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always
watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very
warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
The battery is already filled with electrolyte. Never pry off the vent caps or fill the
battery with water or electrolyte.
The single most important thing about maintaining a battery is to keep it fully
charged. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully
charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher. If the voltage falls below 12.5V,
charge it immediately, or the battery runs the risk of sulfation and reduced
battery life.
If you do not drive the vehicle for more than TWO WEEKS, Polaris recommends
using a BatteryMINDer® 1510 1.5 AMP (PN 2830404) or 12V 1.5 AMP
Convertible BatteryMINDer® (PN 2830511), which can be ordered through your
dealer. During charging, place the charger outside of the vehicle and protect it
from moisture.
NOTICE
For added convenience Polaris offers
an adapter (PN 2414957)
q
which
allows easy connection to the
vehicle's battery. Open the hood to
access the outlet, located along the
back wall.
If you plan to store the vehicle for ONE MONTH or longer, remove the battery
from the vehicle, then store the battery in a cool and dry location. Continue to
maintain the battery.
When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacturer's
instructions for recharging.
