LEAD ACID LOW MAINTENANCE BATTERY

CHARGING

  • The battery must be fully charged before use or battery life will be significantly reduced by 10-30% of the battery's full potential.

  • Nominal voltage is 12.6 to 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls below 12.5V, charge it immediately, or the battery service life and vehicle performance may be affected.

  • Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 1510 1.5 Amp 12V charger (or a similar charger), which can be ordered through your normal parts channel.

  • Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 10% of the battery’s amp-hour rating.

MAINTENANCE

  • Recharge the battery to its full capacity every 30 to 60 days.

  • If the battery is stored or used in a partially charged condition, hard crystal sulfation will form on the plates, reducing the efficiency and service life of the battery.

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

  • Store the battery in the vehicle with the cables disconnected, or store the battery in a cool / dry location. Batteries will self discharge more rapidly when stored in extreme temperatures.

TESTING

  • Test the battery using the PU-50296 battery tester.

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