They will last for years with using a trickle chargerfunny you should mention. I just plugged mine into a tender not 5 minutes ago. Thats a great question. Mine has been going strong since May 2015. But I too wondered when I should change it. It would suck major if you shut off your ride to take in the sights and couldn't crank it back up.
I'm sure you cant push start a 500.
And is there an upgrade for the battery? Lately when I ride I don't shut it down until I'm back to the truck

Thats a must for out on the trails aloneI run a tender on all of my electric start small engines. I even run one on my truck, due to something drawing on the battery. I think it's one of the amplifiers.
This is one of the coolest things they can do with Lithium batteries now. I think I paid like $69 for this on ebay in early April. Threw in it the toolbox and checked it once a month, always showed full. Three times recently I let the truck go dead, and this little sucker jumped it all three times without putting a charge on it for close to six months. Put a fresh charge on it now and back in the toolbox. The days of jumper cables are done.View attachment 23857 View attachment 23856

Yep, that's the ticket buddy. I have similar with equal results.I run a tender on all of my electric start small engines. I even run one on my truck, due to something drawing on the battery. I think it's one of the amplifiers.

Picked up my P5 late July 2014 and I'm still on the OEM battery with never a hesitation.What is the expected battery life for sxs and atv?I keep them plugged in on battery tender jr.
Trigger... Do you have a winch? Is it connected through the key switch (does the key have to be on to use it?)
They can draw several millivolts all the time holding the relay.
Batteries back in the DAYMy rincon battery went over 7 years before it died. Never had a trickle charger on it.
Batteries are happiest at 72*, maintain that (lol) for maximum battery life.What is the expected battery life for sxs and atv?I keep them plugged in on battery tender jr.
Had not thought about that.. damn good point!!Pretty much all the new batteries have recycled lead. Anything recycled is not as good as the original.
@trigger - Is this the battery pack you're using?I run a tender on all of my electric start small engines. I even run one on my truck, due to something drawing on the battery. I think it's one of the amplifiers.
