570 sportsman battery

[land 1]

so I got a 2016 570 Sportsman and it seems to have a battery issue, In about  early  February went out to use it and battery was dead charged up fine good to go until today doing some work and everything was good about the 6th time I went to turn it over dead battery, battery is back on charge and seems to be charging up any ideas bad battery or is not getting a charge while its running. I did use it enough since february I think that if it wasnt charging it would have been dead sooner then this

I have a 2015 570 sportsman and still on original  battery. Do you have a winch that could be drawing it down .

I have found that leaving my 570 on a trickle charger has solved all the issues I have had..   you can get a decent trickle charger inexpensively and it is worth it..   There are a lot of electronics on the modern ATV's..

Trickle charger as said above should solve you issues. A three year old battery should still be fine but you never know. Most auto part stores can load test it if you don’t have the ability to.

What kind of work are you doing? The reason I ask is because you say the 6th time it wouldn't start. If you are only using your wheeler for a min and then shutting it off, then fire it up, use it for a min and then shut it off. The battery doesn't have time to recharge what it has used to start it. Just thought this might be a possibility. If that is what you are doing I would leave it running between tasks.

I can't seem to get over 2 to 3 years out of an ATV battery on my 2003 Polaris 500 sportsman.

Well charged all night on 4amp charge was fully  charged  this morning and after like 5mins hooked up to wheeler  it was reading low at 10.0 so im guessing battery is shot and wont hold charge when a load is being put on it

I had the same problem with my 99 Polaris Sportsman as well. Now during hunting season it’s always on a trickle charger and when the season is over I pull it from the ATV and bring it inside with a trickle charger on it. I seem to get an extra couple of years out of it now.

My 2015 must be the exception...

Ive heard of many battery issues with the 570, especially in the ranger. Most seem to get a year or 2 out of them and their toast.

well it was found the the acid level was low just got a new one the old may have been able to be saved but after reading i found the sealed one is more heavy duty and recomended if you have a winch winch

Well it was not better same issue with new battery brought it to the dealer and they are saying most likely voltage regulator says its a big issue with 2014 and newer sportsman models he said they have had to replace hundreds of them....

[sbuff]

Did they say if there was a recall?

[fasteddie]

I got 9 year's use out of the battery in my Honda 420 Rancher before I had to replace it .

[land 1]

Well it was voltage regulator and there is no recall i asked the dealer about that his reply was as many as he has replaced there should have been a recall but there is none as of yet
