Battery/Electrical System Storage
Never leave a battery unattended during the storage season. Snowmobile batteries are small and cannot maintain their charge over the storage season. To ensure your battery maintains its level of charge, the battery should be connected to a battery trickle charger using the battery charge port.
-
While the battery can remain installed on the snowmobile, it is recommended the battery be removed from the snowmobile and stored in a cool, and dry location. Removing the battery from the snowmobile facilitates off-site storage of the snowmobile where electricity may not be available to connect a battery charger. In addition, removing the battery allows access to other maintenance items, such as the chaincase chain tensioner bolt.
-
Connect a Polaris battery charger or equivalent commercially available charger to the battery.
-
Inspect the electrical connections and wire harnesses throughout the snowmobile. If damage is found, make a note of the damage so that you and your authorized Polaris dealer can address the concern.
