How long does it take to trickle charge a four wheeler battery?
If you use a 2-amp charger, your battery can be recharged fully within 3.5 hours. If you use a charger that has a drip or float mode, your charger will roll upstream and it will take a little longer to fully charge your battery, so it may take 4.5 hours to charge.
Why does my ATV battery keep losing charge?
To test if your battery holds a charge, simply disconnect both terminals and fully charge the battery. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage. If it still loses its charge over a day or two, you likely have a bad battery. Notice that this behavior may be due to internal sulfation, which sometimes can be fixed.

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.
How often should I charge my Polaris battery?

What’s the nominal voltage of a Polaris battery?
The battery’s nominal voltage is 12.6 to 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls below 12.5V, charge it immediately or the battery runs the risk of sulfation. Polaris recommends using a BatteryMINDer® 12V 1.5 AMP Convertible charger. Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 1/10 of the battery’s amp/hr rating.
When to charge a Polaris lead acid battery?
Lead Acid Conventional batteries must be fully charged before use or their life will be significantly reduced by 10 to 30 percent of the battery’s full potential. The battery’s nominal voltage is 12.6 to 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the voltage falls below 12.5V, charge it immediately or the battery runs the risk of sulfation.
