AGM LOW MAINTENANCE BATTERIES

CHARGING

  • Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN 2830438) charger, which can be ordered through your normal parts channel.

  • Nominal voltage is 12.6–12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls below 12.5V, charge it immediately, or the battery runs the risk of sulfation.

MAINTENANCE

  • Never add electrolyte or distilled water to the battery. Doing so will damage the case and shorten the life of the battery.

  • If you do not drive the vehicle for more than TWO weeks, maintain the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN 2830438) charger.

  • If you plan to store the vehicle for ONE month or longer, remove the battery from the vehicle and store the battery in a cool / dry location. Continue to maintain the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN 2830438) charger and inspect the battery every 60 days.

TESTING

  • If the test fails, fully charge the battery.

  • If the battery is too low to accept a charge, see the AGM Battery Charging - Deeply Discharged (Below 3 Volts) procedure in the Service Manual.

  • Proper load testing of the battery requires special equipment and can be performed by your dealer.
