Battery Charge Relay Control
Some models are equipped with a battery. The battery provides power
for only two purposes:
• Engaging the electric starter motor to start the engine
• Powering the Polaris Interactive Digital Display (IDD) with the
ignition key when the engine is off
The engine management system turns on the battery charge relay and
charges the battery only when the following conditions are met:
• The load shed relay is turned on by the engine management system
• Engine speed exceeds 2500 RPM
• Chassis DC voltage exceeds 13 volts

Battery Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,
remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and
store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each
month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below
a pre-determined point.

Battery Charging

The following battery charging instructions apply only to the
installation of a sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding
with the installation of this battery.
The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed
and fully charged at the factory. Do not ever 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. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip
cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure
DC voltage.
