MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Battery Charging (Sealed Battery)
The most important part of maintaining a sealed battery is keeping it fully charged.
The battery included with your ATV is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be removed. Use
a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage. A fully charged battery will register 12.8
V or higher. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery.
NOTE: The Polaris Battery Tendert battery charger can be left connected during the
storage period and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a
pre-determined point (see page 175).
When using an automatic charger such as the Polaris Battery Tendert, refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the
guidelines on the following page for recharging.
An overheated battery could 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.
