4. Operating the Battery

The Renegade RG5L-BS is a sealed, maintenance-free battery, meaning it does not require water additions. It is designed to provide reliable starting power for your ATV.

Initial Use:

As the battery is fully charged and tested prior to shipment, it is ready for immediate use upon proper installation.

Charging:

• Use a charger specifically designed for AGM batteries.
• Avoid overcharging, as this can damage the battery. Follow your charger's instructions.
• If the ATV is stored for extended periods, consider using a trickle charger or battery maintainer to keep the battery at optimal charge.

5. Maintenance

The AGM construction of your Renegade battery significantly reduces maintenance requirements compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.

General Maintenance:

• Cleaning Terminals: Periodically inspect battery terminals for corrosion. If present, clean with a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• Terminal Connections: Ensure terminal connections remain tight. Loose connections can lead to poor performance and heat buildup.
• Battery Case: Keep the battery case clean and dry. Wipe off any dirt or debris.

Storage:

If storing the ATV for an extended period, disconnect the battery to prevent parasitic drains. Store the battery in a cool, dry place, and periodically charge it with a battery maintainer to prevent deep discharge.
