Does a snowmobile need a battery to run?
You can operate a snowmobile without a battery. Some snowmobiles have a pull start, and others can be jump started even with a dead battery. Running a snowmobile without a battery is not recommended as it can lead to electrical issues.
How do I know if my snowmobile is charging my battery?
The easiest and first check you need to do is take a volt meter and checked the voltage at the battery without the machine running. Then start it up, bring up the RPMs a bit and check the voltage again.
How far can an electric snowmobile go?
As for the range, the TS2 can travel 100 km (62 miles) on a single charge.
How long do you charge a snowmobile battery?
Hook your battery to the battery tender/charger and top charge it for about 8 hours. When you have fully charged the battery make sure to check the volt with a voltmeter and if the voltage is below 12.3V then you have replace you battery.
How long does it take to charge a Taiga snowmobile?
ABB is providing Taiga with their compact Terra AC wallbox and Terra DC wallbox charging stations. The DC fast charger — retailing for around $9,000 — would give a full charge to a snowmobile in about 40 minutes.
How many volts does a snowmobile battery need?
Any machine equipped with a battery that must be charged on-board the snowmobile will regulate the electrical output of the magneto/alternator to 13.5 to 14 volts. The voltage must be slightly higher than that of the battery to be able to charge the battery.
What kind of electrical system does a snowmobile have?
Because the three-cylinder Suzuki engine is also applied to a microcar, the entire electrical system is automotive, including a belt driven alternator. The alternator on the 660 is the largest in the snowmobile business, putting out 65 amps at 13.5 volts.
How many watts does an Arctic Cat snowmobile have?
The new Yamaha four-cylinder four-strokes pack 35 amps at 14 volts. Ski-Doos engines run with magneto output of 290 watts to 480 watts depending upon the accessories and engine management systems on the particular sled. Arctic Cat’s lay-down two-stroke engines run 235-watt lighting coils. The output of these alternators varies with engine speed.
How does a charging coil work on a snowmobile?
The voltage must be slightly higher than that of the battery to be able to charge the battery. The magnetos on most snowmobile engines mount charging coils to power the ignition systems, and lighting coils to power all other electrical devices. But this is beginning to change.

What’s the top speed of an electric snowmobile?
4) chemistry. This 12.672 kW·h battery pack is the largest used in any electric snowmobile to date. The batteries are connected to a 249 V Logisystems motor controller to power the motor. The snowmobile is a respectable 295 kg (650 lb). It has a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mi/h) and it is pretty quiet at 54 dB.
