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.
AGM LOW MAINTENANCE BATTERIES
CHARGING
Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN
2830438) charger, which can be ordered through your normal parts channel.
Nominal voltage is 12.6–12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls
below 12.5V, charge it immediately, or the battery runs the risk of sulfation.
MAINTENANCE
Never add electrolyte or distilled water to the battery. Doing so will damage
the case and shorten the life of the battery.
If you do not drive the vehicle for more than TWO weeks, maintain the battery
with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN 2830438) charger.
If you plan to store the vehicle for ONE month or longer, remove the battery
from the vehicle and store the battery in a cool / dry location. Continue to
maintain the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN
2830438) charger and inspect the battery every 60 days.
TESTING
If the test fails, fully charge the battery.
If the battery is too low to accept a charge, see the AGM Battery Charging -
Deeply Discharged (Below 3 Volts) procedure in the Service Manual.
Proper load testing of the battery requires special equipment and can be
performed by your dealer.
CAMBER AND CASTER
