Battery Off Season Storage

Whenever the ve hicle is n ot used fo r a pe riod of thr ee
months or mor e, r emove th e b attery fro m th e veh icle,
ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the sun in
a cool, d ry p lace. Che ck battery voltage e ach m onth

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 self-discharge. Battery
tenders can b e lef t co nnected d uring the s torage
period, a nd w ill au tomatically c harge th e b attery if
the voltage drops below a pre-determined point.

Battery Testing

Whenever a ser vice comp laint is related to e ither the
starting or ch arging syste ms, the battery sh ould be
checked first.

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 cu rrent response is cap tured, fr om this ou tput a
conductance me asurement is ca lculated. Con ductance
testing is more accurate than voltage, specific gravity, or
load testing.
Authorized Polaris dealers/distributors are required to use
the cond uctance ana lyzer whe n testing 1 2V Pola ris
batteries.
