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.
NOTE: Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the
battery cover can be installed.
NOTE: 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 113 for the part numbers of
Polaris products.
