MAINTENANCE
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery and
result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Follow the battery
charging instructions in the AGM Battery Maintenance and Charging section
before installing the battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Place the battery in the battery holder.
3. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
4. Secure the battery hold-down strap.
5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.
6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.
7. Verify that cables are properly routed.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CHARGING
WARNING
An overheated battery may 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.
The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully
charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add any other fluid to this
battery.
The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it
fully charged. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully
charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher. If the voltage falls below 12.5V,
charge it immediately, or the battery runs the risk of sulfation and reduced
battery life.
If you do not drive the vehicle for more than TWO WEEKS, Polaris recommends
using a BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP charger (PN 2830438), which can
be ordered through your dealer.
q
Polaris provides a charging accessory with your vehicle that allows easy
w
connection to the battery through the 12V auxiliary outlet , located on the dash.
During charging, place the charger outside of the vehicle and protect it from
moisture.
