CAUTION: Do not install a partially charged
battery on a snowmobile since the casing
might crack at freezing temperature. The fol-
lowing chart shows the freezing point of the
electrolyte in relation to the temperature cor-
rected specific gravity.

Voltmeter Test
Skandic WT/SWT/SUV/Expedition TUV
NOTE: To determine the battery state of charge,
these sealed batteries have to be tested with a
voltmeter. They also need to be tested when their
voltage is stabilized. Disconnect battery to have
open connectors and wait 1-2 hours prior to read-
ing the voltage. The same condition is required
after a battery has been charged.
Batteries with a voltage above 12.8 V do not need
to be charged.
Batteries with a voltage of 12.8 V and below need
to be charged. Refer to BATTERY CHARGING be-
low.
BATTERY STORAGE
Skandic LT E
Disconnect and remove battery from the vehicle.
Check electrolyte level in each cell, add distilled
water up to upper level line.
CAUTION: Do not overfill.
The battery must always be stored in fully charged
condition. If required, charge until specific gravity
of 1.265 is obtained.
CAUTION: Battery electrolyte temperature
must not exceed 50°C(122°F). The casing
should not feel hot.
Clean battery terminals and cable connections us-
ing a wire brush. Apply a light coat of silicone di-
electric grease (P/N 293 550 004) or petroleum jel-
ly on terminals.
Clean battery casing and caps using a solution of
baking soda and water. Do not allow cleaning so-
lution to enter battery, otherwise it will destroy the
electrolyte. Rinse battery with clear water and dry
well using a clean cloth.
Store battery in a cool dry place. Such conditions
reduce self-discharging and keep fluid evaporation
to a minimum.
During the storage period, recheck electrolyte lev-
el and specific gravity readings at least every 40
days. As necessary, keep the battery at its upper
level line and near full charge as possible (trickle
charge).
Skandic WT/SWT/SUV/Expedition TUV
CAUTION: A discharged battery will freeze and
it may damage its casing. A damaged casing
will allow electrolyte spillage that may damage
surrounding parts.
Disconnect and remove battery from the vehicle.
The battery must always be stored in fully charged
condition.
Clean battery terminals and cable connections us-
ing a wire brush. Apply a light coat of silicone di-
electric grease (P/N 293 550 004) or petroleum jel-
ly on terminals.
Clean battery casing using a solution of baking so-
da and water. Rinse battery with clear water and
dry well using a clean cloth.
Charge the battery every month if stored at a tem-
perature below 15°C(60°F).
Charge the battery every two weeks if stored at a
temperature above 15°C(60°F).
ACTIVATION OF NEW BATTERY
Skandic WT/SWT/SUV/Expedition TUV
Refer to the instructions provided with the battery.

WARNING
Never charge or boost battery while installed
on vehicle.
