BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
If battery voltage is 12.6 Vdc or less, the battery may
need recharging. When using an automatic charger, refer
to the charger manufacturer’s instructions for recharging.
Recommended Charging Rate: 1 hour @ 6-10 Amps.
Do not exceed 10 amps when charging the battery.
NOTICE
Charge the battery using an automatic charger that will
not exceed 14.6 Vdc. An automatic charger will signal
when charging is complete.
Allow the battery to stand disconnected for at least 1-2
hours after being properly charged. If the voltage drops
below 12.6 volts, charging was ineffective or the battery
needs to be replaced.
DANGER
An overheated battery could explode, causing severe
injury or death. Always watch charging times carefully.
Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the
touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.

BATTERY OFF-SEASON STORAGE
Whenever vehicle is not used for a period of three

a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month
during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full
charge.
NOTICE
Battery charge can be maintained by using a Polaris
battery tender or by charging once a month to make up
for self-discharge. Battery tenders can be left
connected to automatically charge the battery if voltage
drops below a pre-determined level.
