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.
