Battery
Servicing Your Honda
Your battery is a maintenance-f ree type and can be permanently
damaged if the cap strip is removed.
Battery Charging,
Battery Storage,
Your ATV has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not have to
check the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water as you would
with a conventional-type battery.
Electrical accessories use current from the battery –– even when the
ignition is OFF. Limited operation also allows the battery to discharge.
If you have electrical accessories on your ATV –– or do not ride
frequently, we recommend that you charge the battery frequently (see
page ).
If you do not expect to ride your ATV for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery –– or at least disconnect the battery
cables (negative cable first).
If you plan to store your ATV, see page .
If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing slow
starting or other electrical problems), see your Honda dealer.
