LEAD ACID CONVENTIONAL / DRY SHIPPED AGM
BATTERY BEST PRACTICES
Some Polaris ORV models include either a Lead Acid Conventional battery or a
Dry Shipped Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery. See the Service Manual for
procedures on how to activate, charge, maintain, and test a Lead Acid
Conventional or Dry Shipped AGM battery.
NOTICE
Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery
and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance.
LEAD ACID CONVENTIONAL BATTERIES
ACTIVATION
NOTE
A Polaris battery purchased from a Polaris dealership should be activated at
time of purchase by the dealer.
• Do NOT activate the battery unless it will be put into regular service within 30
days. Bulk acid should be used to activate the battery.
• Always remove the sealing cap from the vent elbow before activating the
battery. Never put the sealing cap back onto the battery. The gas pressure
can cause the battery to rupture.
• Let the battery sit for 30 minutes after you add the initial electrolyte. Once
absorbed, fill the battery with additional electrolyte to the upper line of the
electrolyte level indicator. This is the only time that electrolyte should be
added to the battery.
• Once the battery is fully charged, replace cap plugs by hand. Do NOT use a
tool to install the cap plugs.
CHARGING
• The battery must be fully charged before use or battery life will be significantly
reduced by 10-30% of the battery's full potential.
• Nominal voltage is 12.6 to 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls
below 12.5V, charge it immediately, or the battery service life and vehicle
performance may be affected.
• Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 12V 1.5 AMP Convertible (
PN
2830511
) charger (or a similar charger), which can be ordered through your
normal parts channel.
• Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 10% of the battery’s
amp-hour rating.
