ATV Batteries
In any motor vehicle, including your ATV, a battery plays a crucial role in providing the necessary electrical energy to start a motor and power various electrical and electronic accessories when the engine is turned off. All ATV batteries have a limited service life which depends on weather conditions in your area and usage. You should replace your battery once in several years to be sure that you can start your four-wheeler at any time. Visit our online store to find a wide variety of replacement ATV batteries by some of the most reputable manufacturers in the industry, such as EarthX, Shorai, Bike Master, Shuriken, Odyssey, and many others.
When choosing your next battery, it is wise to go for the type of the battery recommended by the manufacturer of your machine. First and foremost, the replacement battery must have proper physical dimensions to fit into a tight battery box or compartment of your ATV. Also, it must be equipped with the right terminals to be connected to the electrical system of your quad without additional modifications. It is good to pay attention to cold cranking and amp hour ratings to be sure that the battery can provide enough power to start your engine even in the coldest day.
If you have decided to upgrade your ATV with a new battery that is more powerful and easier to maintain, you can easily do it as long as the new unit can fit your battery compartment. If it is a little smaller, you can fix it in place by filling voids with rubber or foam materials. You shouldn’t try to fit a larger battery into your battery box due to the risk of damaging the battery or shorting its terminals against some structural part of your machine. When fitting your new battery into the compartment, make sure to connect your battery wires to the right terminals.
On the digital shelves of our store, you can find high-quality ATV batteries that can be divided into three main categories. They are conventional wet lead-acid batteries, maintenance-free sealed batteries, and lithium batteries. The most affordable, tried-and-tested lead-acid batteries require some attention from the user and can be installed only vertically to avoid acid spills which can cause damage and corrosion of some components of your ATV. You have to check the level of electrolyte in a lead-acid battery and top it off if its level reaches the minimum. Lack of electrolyte leaves the lead plates exposed which causes their fast deterioration reducing the service life of the battery.
Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries don’t require maintenance. They are completely sealed and can be mounted on your ATV in any orientation. Most of these batteries use Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. They have layers of glass fibers between plates which absorb electrolyte in each cell allowing the manufacturer to reduce the size of the battery. Such batteries are engineered to withstand minor impacts and vibration and offer higher dependability. Also, sealed batteries discharge slower, which is good if you tend to leave your ATV without use for the cold season. All these benefits are relevant for lithium batteries which also feature a compact size and reduced weight. Some models come with four terminals for easy installation on any ATV.
