AGM Battery Charging

WARNING
An overheated battery may explode, causing serious 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 following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of this battery.

The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add any other fluid to this battery.

The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.

POLARIS recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN 2830438) charger, which can be ordered through your dealer or at slingshot.polaris.com.

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.

State of Charge Voltage (DC) Action Charge Time*
100% 12.8-13.0 volts None, check monthly None required
75%-100% 12.6-12.8 volts May need slight charge, if no charge given, check in 2 weeks 3-6 hours
50%-75% 12.3-12.6 volts Needs charge 5-11 hours
25%-50% 12.0-12.3 volts Needs charge At least 13 hours
0%-25% 12.0 volts or less Needs charge At least 20 hours
