Battery Storage
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,
remove the battery from the vehicle. Verify 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.
NOTE: Battery charge can be maintained by using a Polaris Battery
Tendert charger (P/N 2871076) or by charging about once a
month to make up for normal self-discharge. Battery
Tendert can be left connected during the storage period,
and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops
below a pre-determined point.
