BATTERY CONDUCTANCE ANALYZER
Conductance describes the ability of a battery to conduct
current. A conductance tester functions by sending a low
frequency AC signal through the battery and a portion of
the current response is captured, from this output a
conductance measurement is calculated. Conductance
testing is more accurate than voltage, specific gravity, or
load testing.
Authorized Polaris dealers/distributors are required to
use the conductance analyzer when testing 12V Polaris
batteries.

BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
If battery voltage is 12.6 Vdc or less, the battery may
need recharging. When using an automatic charger, refer
to the charger manufacturer’s instructions for recharging.
Recommended Charging Rate: 1 hour @ 6-10 Amps.
Do not exceed 10 amps when charging the battery.
NOTE
Charge the battery using an automatic charger that will
not exceed 14.6 Vdc. An automatic charger will signal
when charging is complete.
Allow the battery to stand disconnected for at least 1-2
hours after being properly charged. If the voltage drops
below 12.6 volts, charging was ineffective or the battery
needs to be replaced.
WARNING
An overheated battery could explode, causing severe
injury or death. Always watch charging times carefully.
Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the
touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
