Battery Charging

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)1 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.
