Battery Handling Precautions

  • Always make sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the negative (-) post on the terminal board. Never use the chassis or body as a ground connection.

  • Always keep battery terminals and connections clean and free of corrosion at all times.

  • Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, avoid discharging the batteries more than 80%.

  • Make sure new batteries are fully charged before using.

  • New deep cycle batteries need to be cycled several times before reaching full capacity (50- 125 cycles, depending on type). Capacity will be limited during this time.

  • Make sure vent caps are installed properly and securely during vehicle operation and battery charging.

  • Recharge batteries fully at the end of each day the vehicle is operated, allowing adequate time for the charger to complete its charge cycle. The batteries in this vehicle do not have a “memory effect”. Frequent charging will extend their life.

  • Avoid charging at temperatures above 120° F. (49° C.) ambient air temperature. Closed, unvented storage buildings often exceed this temperature when exposed to direct sunlight.

  • Never connect an auxiliary battery to the factory-installed DC-to-DC converter. If more than 10 amps are needed for accessories, always install the POLARIS-approved auxiliary accessory battery kit.

  • Never connect a 12-volt accessory directly to the batteries. Always connect any powered accessory to a 12-volt auxiliary outlet or terminal board.

  • Never connect jumper cables to any of the batteries of this vehicle.

  • Use only insulated tools when working in the battery compartment.
