The OEM batteries are great. They are probably Yuasa. I have had good luck with Interstate and the Yuasa. I also threw a Amazon, sorry to say, in my sister's sled and it's been great. It's was only $60 ish .

 

Second the yuasa and interstate… very good life if maintained. Don’t know enough or throw the money at any light weight lithium types.

 

I get replacement batteries from Batteries Plus. They put a 2 year full replacement warranty on their batteries. Batteries often fail before the 2 year warranty period and I get a free replacement. This seems to happen whether I buy the name brand or off brand batteries. I do keep a maintainer on the batteries in the off season.

 

🤔

 

I got a Battery Plus last yr black Fri sale 80 bucks. Stock Battery lasted from 2016

 

Interstates have been good to me. Keep a maintainer on them in the off season and they seem to last forever.

 

That’s the key. I like the smart chargers from harbor freight this is the one I use.

My buddy went Lithium. No issues in his Doo.

 

Chrome Battery is a good bang for the buck.
Ive installed a bunch with no issues and last the same 3 yrs or so as yuasa for less than half the price

 

Maintainers pay for themselves very quick.
Have a Sportsman that used to eat a good Interstate AGM battery at least once a year plowing snow, farming, pulling dead vehicles around until I started putting on a maintainer. Battery now on third year.
Our 16 ProX has been on maintainer since new with orig owner and now us. Battery will be used again this season.
I started using maintainers on my cars that go into storage every winter and haven't changed a battery yet.

Maintainers are worth it

 

I think so. Last 3 seasons Ive been pulling the battery for offseason storage and putting it on the bench with the smart charger.

 

Yuasa
But any decent battery will do.

 

BS batterys out of england are now the O.E.M. choice for all Yamaha products. better then Yuasa quality and by far cheaper. these are our higher end batterys with firepower being tye cheaper choice. but we have not had one issue with firepower ( WPS ) branded battery. Yuasa have gone down hill lately?

 

I was waiting for someone to mention firepower. We sold a lot of them and no complaints from customers.

 

Factory Polaris battery is a Yuasa. Simply go online or your local dealer and get the exact battery model number listed on it. I did last year and saved $50 because it didn't say Polaris on it. One year warranty with Yuasa. Years ago I bought a MotoBatt and it had a 2 year warranty for the same price, but the factory Poo battery hold down did not work the same so I had to modify it.

 

I've been using Deka AGM's in all my powersports for years now, they've held up very well

 

Have a Noco Lithium in my Assault since new. It has only been on the charger once. It seems to go into a sleep mode when not used frequently because it never goes below 12.1 volts. They do state that it's usable to -20C, and they are correct about that, two times my sled had been out overnight and temps got to -25C and the battery would not turn the engine over. Surprisingly the 850 are easy enough to pull start, and within 3 pulls sled was running. After that initial manual start up first thing in the morning, the battery started the sled the rest of the day.

 

I have pulled a lot of Polaris Batteriers to replace and they say Polaris YUASA which are very good batteries. I have been saving money and replacing with Firepower batteries which also have been working great for use. I have a 12V Firepower Feather lite Lithum in my sled which is only about 3-4" and featherlight. I don't have E start but use it with my power up kit to keep my PIDD runing after I shut my sled off. Works great and have been using for years.

 

I put a NOCO Lithium in my 20 Mxz Xrs last fall. One year so far and worked for the 200mi last winter no issue.

 

I just put a NOCO NLP14 in my assault. They make a lot of quality jump packs as well so I don't see an issue but time will tell. I got on sale for $100 shipped. Bonus it only weighs like 1.9 pounds.

 

I’ll put another check mark up for factory (Yuasa) batteries. Knock on wood I’ve had very good luck with them all. Interstate is my choice for automotive and marine type batteries. My Cat needs a battery this year and I’ll be trying an interstate battery.

 

so on the noco i have a lith ion and it has no voltage i looked online and they said you need to wake it up by hooking another battery in parallel and then charge i tried and failed what is the procedure you people use on a dead one thanks

 

That's odd, I didn't have that issue. I put mine in and started the sled right up with no issues

 

ive tried lith batts couple times. always go back to the stock one. reliable and never let me down once. when its freezing outside it just starts. liths work like crap in the freezing cold in morning. last thing i want to do is pull a rope with frozen stiff engine.
