BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CHARGING
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe 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 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. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can result from contact
The single most important thing about
maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it
fully charged. Check the battery voltage
with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully
charged battery will register 12.8 V or
higher. If the voltage falls below 12.5V,
charge it immediately, or the battery
runs the risk of sulfation and reduced
battery life.
This vehicle is equipped with a vehicle battery charge port located on the dash.
This allows the operator to charge the vehicle battery without needing to access
the battery under the driver's seat.
If you do not drive the vehicle for more than TWO WEEKS, Polaris recommends
using a BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP charger (PN 2830438), which can
be ordered through your dealer.
If you plan to store the vehicle for ONE MONTH or longer, remove the battery
from the vehicle, then store the battery in a cool and dry location. Continue to
maintain the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP charger.
When using an automatic charger other than a BatteryMINDer® 2012-AGM - 2
AMP charger, refer to the charger manufacturer's instructions for recharging.
USING A CONSTANT CURRENT CHARGER
If you are using a constant current charger (instead of BatteryMINDer® 2012
AGM - 2 AMP charger), use the guidelines below. Always verify battery condition
before and 1-2 hours after the end of charging.
