Why does my ATV battery keep going bad?
Red to the negative terminal and black to the negative.If you can’t reach above 12.4 volts by charging, your battery is likely too sulfated. If you can’t get it to charge over 10.5 volts you likely have a bad cell. Normal voltage reading with the engine turned off. Push the min/max button to start recording the voltage. Push the starter on the ATV.
Can a car battery last longer than an ATV battery?
Because of the small size and rough handling an ATV battery needs to endure, it will generally not last as long as a car battery. To test if your battery holds a charge, simply disconnect both terminals and fully charge the battery. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage.
What should I do if my Yamaha ATV wont start?
It might seem like a “no brainer,” but it’s actually a common oversight. If nothing happens after flipping on the kill switch, remove the front plastic cover to expose the battery, starter solenoid, starter relay and other electrical components. A battery test is the best place to begin.
How can I tell if my ATV battery is fully charged?
Start by charging the battery. To perform this test you want to make sure the open circuit voltage available at the battery is above 12.4V (at least 75% charged). To check this you simply put your meter to DC voltage setting and connect the leads to the battery.
What should I do if my ATV battery keeps dying?
DO NOT turn on the car for any reason while the cables are connected Try turning on your ATV, if it starts then remove the jumper cables from both ends and let it sit idle for a few more minutes so the battery can build up a charge.
Why does my quad bike battery keep dying?

At this point, I know what you’re probably thinking, there has to be another way than having to jump my battery every time I want to use my ATV.
Start by charging the battery. To perform this test you want to make sure the open circuit voltage available at the battery is above 12.4V (at least 75% charged). To check this you simply put your meter to DC voltage setting and connect the leads to the battery.
What happens when you turn the key on an ATV?
When you turn the key, you get no reaction what so ever. Except maybe a clicking sound from the starter. This behavior is very common when you have an ATV battery that keeps going dead. But depending on what is causing your battery drainage, your bike may behave differently. It can lose all of its power in just a matter of hours.
