How to Charge a 4 Wheeler Battery

When it comes to taking care of your four-wheeler, keeping its battery charged is essential. Without a charged battery, you’ll only cause stress and frustration for yourself the next time you try to start up that ATV.

Here’s how to charge a 4 wheeler battery:

1. Gather Necessary Tools

Before beginning the process, make sure you have everything you need. This includes a charger, protective gloves, safety goggles, and a small brush to clean the battery terminals.

2. Locate the Battery and Disconnect It

Locate the battery on your four-wheeler, usually located under the seat. Then, disconnect the negative cable from the battery first.

3. Clean the Terminals

Use the brush to clean any dirt or residue off the battery terminals and cable connectors.

4. Connect the Charger

Next, connect the charger to the battery. Connect the positive cable first and then the negative one. Make sure the charger is set to the appropriate settings required by the battery.

5. Turn on the Charger and Wait

With the battery and charger connected, turn on the charger and let it do its job. Remember to leave enough time for the charger to fully charge the battery, usually a few hours.

6. Check the Charge Status

Once the charger indicates that the battery is fully charged, turn it off and disconnect the cables. Check the charge level with a voltmeter and ensure it registers at least 12 volts – this is considered a fully charged battery.

7. Reconnect the Battery to Your Four-Wheeler

Finally, reconnect the battery to your four-wheeler – starting again with the positive cable, followed by the negative one.

By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to keep your four-wheeler battery charged and ensure that it always starts up effortlessly.
