My oem battery on my 2005 sportsman 700Efi is getting tired and I am looking to replace it. Any recommendations on what type/brand? Checked the dealer and he wanted 130 for the replacement and 150 for the sealed maintenance free type. Any aftermarket or specialty types worth considering or should I just go with OEM?
Thanks,
Mike

 

hello,i got a cheap off brand from my polaris dealer for about 80 bucks,only has a 6 month warrenty but so far works great.

 

alot of post on battery replacements. try a search and you'll see a few differnt selections on what people have used.

 

Howdy rustyCJ......about 5 months ago a bud of mine replaced his battery with a Scorpion brand AGM.....likes it so far. Appears to be well built. When mine needs replacing, I'll go with an AGM. If you do buy an AGM battery and if you have a charger or a battery tender already, be sure it is AGM compatible.........NoJoke

I got an Odyssey in mine...great battery...got a tender also...

Thanks for the replies, just ordered an Odyssey from TNR Batteries, a little pricey (149.10) but the reviews were good hopefully worth the extra $20 over the factory battery. I don't have a tender but I do run my charger on the 2 amp setting most of the winter rotating from atv to boat to jet ski to Jeep to lawn mower.

 

I buy mine from Sam's Club, same as Walmart batteries but a little cheaper at Sam's. Have only bought 2 for my 2002 500's but both have lasted longer than the original Polaris batteries.
