Battery Off Season Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of two
months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle,
ensure that it is fully charged and store it out of the sun in
a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month
during storage or and recharge as needed to maintain a
full charge.
NOTE: Battery charge can be maintained by using a
Polaris battery tender charger or by charging once a
month to make up for normal discharge. Battery
tenders can be left connected during the storage
period and will automatically charge the battery if
the voltage drops below a pre-determined point.
