MAINTENANCE
BATTERY STORAGE
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of one month 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.
BATTERY CHARGING
AGM BATTERY CHARGER RECOMMENDATIONS
Slingshot vehicles utilize Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries which are
selected for their superior vibration resistance, weight savings, and high output.
Polaris recommends using the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP battery
charger (PN 2830438) to charge and maintain AGM batteries. The charger can
be found on the Polaris PG&A website and ordered in DEX – Item Availability.
Batteries that fall below 12.5V run the risk of sulfation, a condition whereby
sulfate crystals form inside the battery and significantly reduce performance.
AGM chargers are designed specifically for charging AGM type batteries and
use high frequency pulses to partially reverse sulfation.
The use of non-AGM battery chargers or non-AGM battery tenders may result
in a misleading "battery not found" or "open cell" fault message. Please ensure
you are using the recommended AGM charger when charging AGM type
AGM BATTERY TESTING PROCEDURE
1. Test battery using the battery tester PU-50296.
2. If the tester indicates a test result other than "Good Battery," follow the steps
below before replacing the battery:
a. Connect battery to the recommended battery charger. If charging
sequence begins as normal, fully charge battery and proceed to step 3.
The time listed on the PU-50296 battery tester printout is an estimate.
The recommended automatic charger will indicate when the battery is
fully charged on its display.
b. If charging sequence does not initialize, refer to AGM Battery Charging
Recommendations – Deeply Discharged (below 3 volts) to attempt to
restore the deeply discharged battery. If charging sequence will not finish
as intended, the battery needs to be replaced.
3. Re-test battery. If the test results show that battery failed, proceed with
battery replacement.
