Arctic Cat 2008 300 DVX Owner's Manual page 80

This maintenance-free battery requires periodic charging to prevent
sulfi ding. If the ATV will be idle for extended periods of time, either
run the engine or trickle charge every 30 days. If the battery
completely discharges, permanent damage will occur requiring
replacement.
If the battery is discharged, remove the battery from the ATV and
charge the battery at the standard charging rate of 1.4 amps for 10
hours.
To remove and charge the battery, use the following procedure.
1. Remove the seat assembly; then remove the battery hold-down
bracket
2. Remove the negative battery cable; then remove the positive
cable. Remove the battery from the ATV.
Do not charge the battery while it is in the ATV with the battery
terminals connected.
3. Trickle charge the battery at 1.4 amps for 5-10 hours.
Never exceed the standard charging rate.
Before installing the battery, make sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
4. Place the battery into position in the ATV and secure with the
hold-down bracket.
5. Clean the battery posts and cable ends by using a battery
post cleaning tool and/or a wire brush to remove dirt, grease,
and corrosion.
6. Connect cables to the proper terminals: positive cable to the
positive terminal (+) and negative cable to the negative
terminal (-). Connect the negative cable last.
Connecting cables in reverse (positive to negative and negative to
positive) can cause serious damage to the electrical system.
