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. See page 114.

Tip: Battery charge can be maintained by using a POLARIS Battery Tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-dis- charge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-deter- mined point. See page 126 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.

Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)

A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the bat- tery fluid level often. Maintain the fluid level between the upper and lower level marks.

Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to a battery.
