AGM BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING
An overheated battery may 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.
The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a
sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of
this battery.
The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully
charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add any other fluid to this
battery.
The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it
fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be
removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.
POLARIS recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP (PN
2830438) charger, which can be ordered through your dealer or at
slingshot.

Nominal voltage is 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls below
12.5V, charge it immediately, or the battery runs the risk of sulfation.
