DRY SHIPPED AGM BATTERIES

Do NOT activate the battery unless it will be put into regular service within 30 days. Only use the electrolyte container supplied with the battery to activate the battery.

Keep the electrolyte container in place for 20 minutes or longer until the container is completely empty. If necessary, gently tap the container to empty it.

Once the battery is fully charged, replace the strip of caps by hand. Do NOT use a tool to install the strip.

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

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

Never add any electrolyte or distilled water to the battery once the battery is in service.

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.

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.
