Battery Conductance Analyzer; Charging Procedure - Polaris 2013 RANGER RZR S Service Manual

ELECTRICAL

Battery Conductance Analyzer

Conductance describes the ability of a battery to conduct
current. A conductance tester functions by sending a low
frequency AC signal through the battery and a portion of
the current response is captured, from this output a
conductance measurement is calculated. Conductance
testing is more accurate than voltage, specific gravity, or
load testing.
Authorized Polaris dealers/distributors are required to use
the conductance analyzer when testing 12V Polaris
batteries.

Charging Procedure

If battery voltage is 12.6 Vdc or less, the battery may need
recharging. When using an automatic charger, refer to the

Do not exceed 9 amps when charging 4011496 battery.
Do not exceed 6 amps when charging 4011224 battery.
NOTE: Charge the battery using an automatic
charger that will not exceed 14.6 Vdc. An automatic
charger will signal when charging is complete.

NOTE: Allow the battery to stand disconnected for
at least 1-2 hours after being properly charged. If the
voltage drops below 12.6 volts, charging was
ineffective or the battery needs to be replaced.
WARNING
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.
