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, battery service
life and vehicle performance may be adversely affected.
Never add any electrolyte to the battery once the battery is in service. After
the battery is initially activated, only distilled water should be added to
maintain electrolyte levels.
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
If the test fails, fully charge the battery.
Proper load testing of the battery requires special equipment and can be
performed by your dealer.
DRY SHIPPED AGM BATTERIES
ACTIVATION
Do NOT activate the battery unless it will be put into regular service within 30
days. Only use the electrolyte container supplied with the battery to activate
the battery.
Keep the electrolyte container in place for 20 minutes or longer until the
container is completely empty. If necessary, gently tap the container to empty
it.
Once the battery is fully charged, replace the strip of caps by hand. Do NOT
use a tool to install the strip.
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 12.8 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 any electrolyte or distilled water to the battery once the battery is in
service.
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.
