Battery

Your ATV has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not have to
check the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water as you would
with a conventional-type battery.
NOTICE
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently
damaged if the cap strip is removed.
Electrical accessories use current from the battery, even when the
ignition is OFF (w). Limited operation also allows the battery to
discharge.
If you have electrical accessories on your ATV or do not ride
frequently, we recommend that you charge the battery frequently
(see Battery Charging, page 198).
If you do not expect to ride your ATV for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery, or at least disconnect the
battery cables (negative cable first).
If you plan to store your ATV, see Battery Storage, page 195.
If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing slow
starting or other electrical problems), see your dealer.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
