CAUTION: Read this if powering ANY electrical accessories on your PRO.

Yes I understand but I do not have the electric starter option, I start manually. I don't think I have this kind of plug in my polaris .... unless I'm mistaken.

The plug should still be there. I had a 2012 pro, also manual start, and I'm almost positive the plug was there above the chaincase. I don't have that sled anymore, otherwise I'd check. It should be a 2x4 (8-pin) plug, similar to your hood harness plug but smaller.

Good evening. I think I found the plug for the electric starting system. The problem is, I am not familiar with the electric plant. If anyone knows exactly what color of wires I should use to charge a battery I just installed instead of going through the "Dc pwr", that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think I found the plug for the electric starting system... what color of wires I should use to charge a battery...

That is indeed the electric start plug. You can tell which ones are the power wires because they're heavier gauge. I also just double checked the manual to confirm:

Red with Green stripe – comes from battery charge regulator. The factory electric start harness that connects here (which you don't have) runs this through a 10 amp circuit breaker to battery positive.

Brown – chassis ground, run to battery negative.

If you want to get the right plug to mate with that, it's a Molex MX150 connector. You'd need an 8 pin male.

You can purchase the electric start harness directly from Polaris which is what i did and just hooked up a small battery to use for power items and still charge up the battery. Part no 15 in the parts picture Part no 2411513. worked very well for me.

To summarize, the polaris with or without electric starter have electricity coming to this plug.

I connect the red wire with a green stripe on the positive and the brown on the negative.

Thank you very much, it will prevent me from breaking everything by connecting to the "dc pwr".

I made this electric plant. I don't know if you'll understand, but I'm taking a chance. You will tell me if there are any connections or other that I must change or remove. Thanks in advance.

Baterrie 12v 18 amp / h
Anti-reverse diode
Voltage regulator Dc / Dc stabilizer 10v - 36v to 12v 5 amp
20 amp fuse
Relay

***Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, more of a hack really ***

With that said, I do notice a few things in your plan:

My main concern is wether or not you'll be overloading the battery charge regulator. There's nothing in the manual that says what the capacity is, other than it supplies a battery that requires 1.8amps charging current. You may be fine, or you may find the battery drains way faster than it can charge. Maybe someone else has some input on this, otherwise you'll just have to do your own testing.

I would not put a voltage regulator in front of the battery. Your battery won't properly charge this way as the voltage supplied to it will be limited to 12V. The battery should have the full 14.7V coming from the electric start plug (red/green wire), so run that straight to the battery. Your 12V regular can be put between the battery and your accessories (presumably for clean supply to your LEDs).

I don't think your anti reverse diode is necessary, there's nothing behind the red/green wire that will draw power from your battery.

The relay is interesting. Having your entire accessories circuit switched on/off from the DC PWR plug effectively means accessories will only function when the sled is running (DC PWR plug is switched on via the sleds chassis relay, controlled by the ECU).

Hope that helps a bit, good luck!

Good evening. I made the modifications you suggested to me. I should finalize within a few days. I will keep you informed. I hope this plant will be useful to those who are looking for a way to have a power supply without having to go through the "Dc pwr" plug or others.

Thanks again...
