MAINTENANCE

Battery

Battery Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,

remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and

store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each

month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

NOTE:

Battery charge can be maintained by using a Polaris Battery Tendert

charger (PN 2871076) or by charging about once a month to make up

for normal self-discharge. Battery Tendert can be left connected dur-

ing the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the

voltage drops below a pre-determined point.

Battery Charging

The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installa-

tion 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. Do not ever 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.
