BATTERY OFF SEASON STORAGE

Whenever vehicle is not used for a period of three
months 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 charge can be maintained by using a Polaris
battery tender or by charging once a month to make up
for self-discharge. Battery tenders can be left
connected to automatically charge the battery if voltage
drops below a pre-determined level.

BATTERY TESTING

Whenever a service complaint is related to either the
starting or charging systems, the battery should be
checked first.
The following are two tests which can easily be made on
a sealed Maintenance Free battery to determine its
condition: OCV Test and a Load Test.
