I am certain that others have experienced this before, however it is certainly a first for me. I am cruising a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 700 V-Twin 4×4.
I purchased a new battery for my quad as it wouldn’t hold a charge, (got it tested and it had dead cells). Shortly after that… the same thing happened to the replacement battery. Figured it could have been a bunk battery. Got it replaced by shop under warranty. Replacement battery did the same shortly after that. Finally came to the conclusion that something else was the issue. Heard that it could be the Voltage Regulator?? Does this seem right?
I don’t have a lot of money to throw around and I want to make the best decision possible. Hunting season is coming up and the quad has been a proven tool for me during this time. I only have one wing and can be trying at times to lug animals around through the bush lol. I mean it’s doable… just a bit of a challenge.
They are asking $100+ American for said voltage regulator then the cost of the battery.
