ELECTRICAL
CONVENTIONAL BATTERY OFF SEASON
STORAGE
To prevent battery damage during extended periods of
non-use, the following basic battery maintenance items
must be performed:
◎
Remove the battery from the machine and wash the
case and battery tray with a mild solution of baking soda
and water. Rinse with lots of fresh water after cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not get any of the baking soda into the battery
or the acid will be neutralized.
◎
Using a wire brush or knife, remove any corrosion
from the cables and terminals.
◎
Make sure that the electrolyte is at the proper level.
Add distilled water if necessary.
◎
Charge at a rate no greater than 1/10 of the battery’s
amp/hr capacity until the electrolyte’s specific gravity
reaches 1.270 or greater.
◎
Store the battery either in the machine with the cables
disconnected, or store in a cool place.
NOTE:
Stored batteries lose their charge at the rate of
1% per day. Recharge to full capacity every 30 to
60 days during a non-use period. If the battery is stored
during the winter months, electrolyte will freeze at higher
temperatures as the battery discharges. The chart below
indicates freezing points by specific gravity.

CONVENTIONAL BATTERY CHARGING
PROCEDURE
1. Remove the battery from the ATV to prevent damage
from leaking or spilled acid during charging.
2. Charge the battery with a charging output no larger
than 1/10 of the battery’s amp/hr rating. Charge as
needed to raise the specific gravity to 1.270 or greater.
3. Install battery in vehicle with positive terminal toward
the front. Coat threads of battery bolt with a corrosion
resistant dielectric grease.
4. Connect battery cables.
To avoid the possibility of explosion, connect positive
(red) cable first and negative (black) cable last.
5. After connecting the battery cables, install the cover on
the battery and attach the hold down strap.
6. Install clear battery vent tube from vehicle to battery
vent.
Vent tube must be free from obstructions and kinks and
securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate
and cause an explosion. Vent should be routed away
from frame and body to prevent contact with electrolyte.
Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, as severe burns
could result. If electrolyte contacts the vehicle frame,
corrosion will occur.
7. Route cables so they are tucked away in front and
behind battery.
8. Reinstall battery, attaching positive (+) (red) cable first
and then the negative (-) (black) cable. Coat terminals
and bolt threads with Dielectric Grease.
9.
(Conventional Lead/Acid Batteries Only)
Install clear
battery vent tube from vehicle to battery vent.
Vent tube must be free from obstructions and kinks and
securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate
and cause an explosion. Vent should be routed away
from frame and body to prevent contact with electrolyte.
Avoid skin contact with battery electrolyte, severe burns
could result. If electrolyte contacts the vehicle frame,
corrosion will occur.
10. Route cables so they are tucked away in front and
behind battery.
11. Reinstall battery cover and holder strap.
Do not run the engine with the battery disconnected.
Electrical components can become damaged.
