BATTERY OFF SEASON STORAGE
Whenever 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.
NOTICE
Battery charge can be maintained by using a Polaris
battery tender charger or by charging once a month to
make up for normal self-discharge. Battery tenders can
be left connected during the storage period, and will
automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops
below a pre-determined point.
