Just curious folks...I have 6 machines in the garage now...and 3 have older/weakened batteries.

Can you mail order batteries and fill and trickle charge them yourself? If so, who is a good cheap source?

The same battery is in every Polaris quad I own...YB14A Yuasa.

TIA!

I found that K-Mart sells motorcycle and atv batteries for 15 bucks a piece. You might try them. Walmart also sells them for about the same price.

www.denniskirk.com has a good sized selection. I'd e-mail them or call them(1-800-328-9280)and order an ATV catalog instead of trying to fight your way through their stupid-a$$ website(my opinion)

Wal-Mart may be be best source due to their 100% 12 month replacement guarantee. They are Champion batteries. Unless they changed the warranty you could get a new one every year!

Just bought a battery for my Scrambler and it ran me $32 w/ core at Walmart. It came dry charged with a bottle of acid. They say you can run them as soon as you put the acid in but the warranty isn't valid if you don't trickle charge them for at least 6 hours (I think). Polaris wanted $52 for a precharged battery.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses...

Dennis Kirk was over $50, WalMart it is, I'll pay the $5.00 core price extra and pick up several extra for the garage. Hadn't thought of Walmart. Good call...Thanks again!
