BATTERY TESTING

Whenever a service complaint is related to either the
starting or charging systems, the battery should 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 current response is captured, from this output a
conductance measurement is calculated. Conductance
testing is more accurate than voltage, specific gravity, or
load testing.
Authorized Polaris dealers/distributors are required to
use the conductance analyzer when testing 12V Polaris
batteries.

OCV - OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE TEST

Battery voltage should be checked with a digital
multitester. Readings of 12.6 volts or less require further
battery testing and charging. See the following chart and
"Load Test".
NOTE
Use a volt/ohm meter to test battery voltage.
