  • Page 20: Battery Activation

    Battery Activation Activating an ATV Battery is a simple, 7-step process that nearly any rider or mechanic can follow with success. Remember to always practice caution when handling batteries and activation equipment. Motorcycle batteries are shipped with the electrolyte stored in a plastic container. The battery is filled with electrolyte from the container when it’s ready to be activated.
  • Page 21: The 7-Step Process To Activate An Atv Battery

    The 7-Step Process to Activate an ATV Battery 1) The battery must be out of the vehicle and sitting on a level surface. 2) Remove the electrolyte container from the plastic storage bag. Remove the strip of caps and set it aside as it will be necessary later in this process. When filling your Motorcycle battery use only the dedicated acid container that comes with the battery as it contains the proper amount of electrolyte.
  • Page 22 4) Check the electrolyte flow. Keep the container in place for 20 minutes or longer until it empties completely. If no air bubbles are coming up from the filler ports or if the container cells haven’t emptied completely after 20 minutes, then tap the container and/or battery case gently a few times to cause the electrolyte to flow into the battery.
  • Page 23 VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! IF you do not have the proper battery charger to charge the battery at slow 3amps then you will need to take the battery to your local auto parts store or motorcycle dealer and request they charge it for you at no more than 3amps. Newly activated batteries require an initial charge.
