Battery MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Battery Storage Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge. NOTE: Battery charge can be maintained by using a Polaris Battery Tendert charger (PN 2871076) or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-discharge. Battery Tendert can be left connected during the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-determined point. Battery Charging The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a YUASA activated, sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of this battery. The YUASA activated, sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully charged at the factory. Do not ever 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. For a refresh charge, follow all instructions carefully. 1. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher. 2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.2 amps or less until thebattery voltage is 12.8 or greater. NOTE: When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacturer's instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the following guidelines for recharging. 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. 97
