BATTERY SERVICE
BATTERY STORAGE
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three
months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle,
ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the sun in
a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month
during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full
charge.
Polaris recommends maintaining battery charge by using
a Polaris battery trickle charger or by charging once a
month using the battery charge port
q
. The Polaris
offered battery trickle charger can be left connected
during the storage period, and will automatically charge
the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-determined
point.
IMPORTANT
Polaris recommends using a trickle charger that shuts
off automatically when the battery is fully charged. If
you are not using a trickle charger that automatically
shuts off when the battery is fully charged, make sure to
monitor the battery charge level and disconnect the
charger when the battery is fully charged.
IMPORTANT
When using a battery trickle charger, always place the
charger on the ground, or on a suitable elevated
surface. Never place the charger on the vehicle or let it
hang from the battery charge port while plugged in.
