ATV Battery Types and Maintenance Tips
Know Your Battery
First things first, you need to know what type of battery you are dealing with. This will make a difference in where and how you charge the battery. An ATV battery can be one of two types: a wet cell or an absorbed glass mat (AGM). The wet cell battery has been used for a very long time. A wet cell battery is also known by several other names; typically involving something wet, such as flooded battery or lead acid battery. This used to be the most common battery type but in the last few years they have started being replaced with AGM batteries. If you have a wet cell battery, the first giveaway will be the fill caps on the top.
After a long day of riding through mud, a good clean up is in order. It's not uncommon for us to do a quick spray, throw the batteries on the charger, and bring them out again in the morning for a more thorough cleaning. So if you're batteries don't look brand new, don't worry. You won't get any judgement from us!
The next clue that you have a wet cell battery will be the vent tube that lets the battery breath. Wet cell batteries normally have a tube running out of the battery compartment.
Maintain Your Battery
Now that you know the differences between the types of batteries and the best way to charge them both, I want to talk about how to keep your battery fresh and ready for whenever you are. In my other post about Spring PMCS, I talked about our battery maintainer that we use regularly.I highly recommend a battery maintainer and I love our model. It is a very simple and plug and play. Most come with a hard mounted plug in that attaches to your ATV. Then when you get back from riding all you have to do is plug your bike in and you’re done.
If you do not want to mount the other ends on the ATV, most models also come with a set of clamps to put on the battery temporarily.
