Hello, I need a little help or advice on a battery problem I’m having on my 2015 Sportsman 850 SP.
My dash has given me the lo battery display a few times. A few weeks ago, it displayed at between 10.5 to 10.8. I charged the battery overnight and within just a few minutes of riding the display on the ATV said 10.7 again. I removed the battery and brought it home, it set in the garage for 4 days (I never recharged it) I then checked it with my fluke meter and it read 12.2. I took it to battery’s plus to have them load test it and the test showed a good battery reading at 12.17v.
This weekend I plan on checking the battery on the quad with it running to see what I’ll get, but other than that, what else should I check? Which wires come from the charging system?
Thanks
Dave
