Battery Storage - Polaris SPORTSMAN ACE 2014 Owner's Manual

Battery

Battery Storage

Whenever the 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.
See page 120.
Tip: Battery charge can be maintained by using a POLARIS Battery Tender
charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-
discharge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period,
and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-
determined point. See page 130 for the part numbers of POLARIS
products.
Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)
A poorly maintained battery will
deteriorate rapidly. Check the
battery fluid level often. Maintain
the fluid level between the upper
and lower level marks.
Add only distilled water. Tap water
contains minerals that are harmful
to a battery.
