BATTERIES

This vehicle is equipped with eight 12-volt batteries that supply the power
needed to operate the vehicle. The batteries are located under the seat.

Always observe all battery safety warnings and safe handling procedures as
outlined on vehicle safety labels and in this manual.

BATTERY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Always make sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the

negative (-) post on the terminal board. Never use the chassis or body as a
ground connection.

• Always keep battery terminals and connections clean and free of corrosion at

all times.

• Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, avoid

discharging the batteries more than 80%.

• Make sure new batteries are fully charged before using.
• New deep cycle batteries need to be cycled several times before reaching full

capacity (50- 125 cycles, depending on type). Capacity will be limited during
this time.

• Make sure vent caps are installed properly and securely during vehicle

operation and battery charging.

• Recharge batteries fully at the end of each day the vehicle is operated,

allowing adequate time for the charger to complete its charge cycle. The
batteries in this vehicle do not have a “memory effect”. Frequent charging will
extend their life.

• Avoid charging at temperatures above 120° F. (49° C.) ambient air

temperature. Closed, unvented storage buildings often exceed this
temperature when exposed to direct sunlight.

• Never connect an auxiliary battery to the factory-installed DC-to-DC

converter. If more than 10 amps are needed for accessories, always install
the POLARIS-approved auxiliary accessory battery kit.

• Never connect a 12-volt accessory directly to the batteries. Always connect

any powered accessory to a 12-volt auxiliary outlet or terminal board.

• Never connect jumper cables to any of the batteries of this vehicle.
• Use only insulated tools when working in the battery compartment.
