how often do you charge your battery? do you wait till it dies? how long do you charge it for and at how many amps?

 

With a proper operating charging system on the atv, you shouldn't ever have to charge the battery, unless you mistakenly drain it.

 

If you're referring more to when your ATV is not being used, as in sitting unridden for a while (1month or more at a time), look into a battery tender. They're not too expensive, $40 to $60 bucks or so.

batterytender.com is a good place to start for getting info about them.

 

I never had to charge the battery on my warrior. if it's going dead by itself you've got a bad battery, or you need to get out and ride more. If you left the lights on or something that drained it, I wouldn't use more than 2 amps to charge it. I used a trickle charger with my new battery(1 amp) and it worked fine.

 

yeah being at college my battery doesnt usualy run low on juice, sometimes it pushes a little harder and once I get it started I make sure to keep it running strait for a little while to give the battery a chance to recharge. If it isnt holding charge then it probably needs to be changed. Im on my original 2001 battery in my wolverine its starting to die when i get home for christmas im going to replace it so i dont have any winter troubles out in the snowstorms. I have a backup pullstart too so its not that big a deal for me. just less work with a snow-suit on
