Battery Care and Maintenance
No matter what type of battery you choose for your UTV, it won't work properly if it isn't maintained properly, especially during the off-season. Follow these tips to maintain and get the longest life possible out of your battery.
Keep it charged - Use a battery charger to maintain your UTV battery during the off-season or other long periods of inactivity.
Note: Lithium batteries have a log self-discharge rate and may require less charging maintenance during the off-season. Keep your lithium battery at around 50% when storing it for long periods of time.
Use the right charger - It's important that you select one that matches the voltage and chemistry of your UTV battery.
Example: 12-volt AGM charger goes with a 12-volt AGM battery.
Avoid overcharging - Overcharging your UTV battery can shorten its life. Prevent this by using a battery maintainer or a charger with an automatic shut-off.
Water your battery - If you have a flooded battery, periodically check and top off the electrolyte inside with distilled or deionized water.
Note: Do not attempt to do this with an AGM or lithium battery.
Keep terminals free of corrosion - Clean off corrosion on the battery terminal using a battery terminal brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. Protect the terminals with an anti-corrosion spray.
When to Replace Your UTV Battery
Your UTV battery works hard while you ride, but it also loses a small amount of charge even when it's not in use. If you're having a hard time starting up your UTV, check to see if your battery is truly dead or if it has just lost its charge. Whether you're testing your current battery or shopping for the right replacement battery to fit your UTV, come by your local Batteries Plus for an expert consultation.
