Why is the battery on my Polaris not charging?
My battery is not charging, i’ve tried some of the troubleshooting tips including checking the stator,loose connections and bad rectifier. The stator is fine since it will run without battery connected, no loose connections, and three of the four wires on the rectifier had fire (the fourth wire is a ground). Any ideas of what it might be.
What is battery voltage on Polaris Sportsman 500?
Voltage on the battery at idle is around 11 to 12v, when I rev engine, voltage does not increase. Battery drains the longer it runs. Rectifier/regulator seems ok.
Can a Polaris stator run without a battery?
The stator is fine since it will run without battery connected, no loose connections, and three of the four wires on the rectifier had fire (the fourth wire is a ground). Any ideas of what it might be. Thanks for any help. Click to expand… May be a bad battery. I just had my sportsman in because everything went dead. Turned out to be a dead cell.
Why is the battery on my sportsman 500 not charging?
Voltage on the battery at idle is around 11 to 12v, when I rev engine, voltage does not increase. Battery drains the longer it runs. Rectifier/regulator seems ok. I swapped with one from my other Sportsman and same lack of charging. How do I test the stator and coil and what readings am I looking for on my multimeter?

Why is the battery on my bike not charging?
The battery is not charging when it is installed on the bike. The battery will not take a charge, even when using an external charger. The battery seems to be charging fine, but will not hold a charge over time. At first sight, these scenarios seem very similar.
Where is the battery on a Polaris Sportsman?
Put the key in the “Off” position.” Locate your battery. It’s often located behind a plastic panel up high at the front of the ATV. But it may also be found in less ideal places, like on this Polaris Sportsman 570, where the battery sits exposed on the bottom of the frame. On some ATVs, it may even be at the rear of the bike.
What to do if your ATV battery is not charging?
If your ATV or Four wheeler battery is not charging your stator or voltage regulator rectifier might be bad. This is how to diagnose your ATV’s charging system quickly and easily. I show how to test your stator and regulator. PARTS LINKS FOR YOUR MODEL BELOW: This is a 2008 Yamaha Grizzly 700.
What should the voltage of a Polaris battery be?
Batteries will self-discharge more rapidly when stored in extreme temperatures. POLARIS recommends using BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM 2 AMP charger on AGM Low Maintenance batteries. The nominal voltage voltage for an AGM Low Maintenance battery is 12.8V when fully charged.
What should I do if my ATV battery is not charging?
If it were to start leaking or, in the worst case, blow up, at least you won’t damage the ATV. Connect a suitable battery charger and let it charge overnight — red cable to the positive terminal, black cable to the negative terminal or ground. When the charging cycle is complete, it’s time to read what voltage the battery holds.
