IDD cauge without battery on Axys

[tovayryn]

Hello.

I have now -16 Axys LE model here in Europe.
And it has cool IDD cauge on it. But it´s a ProRMK so
it has no battery and you can imagine what is like to have that
IDD without battery...booting...booting.. And you cant do a thing with it if the sled is not running if you are driving.
In garage you can sure feed power to IDD under the hood from contactor that says IDD PWR.

I have been wondering, if it would be possible to make wiring with small battery for IDD. There is contactor that says DC PWR with that you could charge battery and then supply power to IDD PWR contactor. Only problem that I have is that I don´t have electrical wiring diagrams to see where to connect that it would work through mainswithc (keys).
Is there any sence in this or will I eventually burn whole IDD?

This is what I did. Works great. Also it charges correctly with the factory harness!

ES harness from Polaris #2413091, $99.99 list price. This is on back order but I still got mine within two weeks of ordering. Seems like a lot to pay..... but it does complete the charge circuit has a inline 2amp mini blade fuse and no guessing on schematics!

The main plug in left side of photo plugs into factory harness above brake caliper. The red wire top of photo with male bullet connector connects to the battery positive (red wire). The brown wire in bottom of photo with eyelet connects to battery negative (black wire) and I also ran a ground wire to chassis. You will have to match connectors of you choice on the battery leads to the harness positive and negative wires.

Trail Tech 12V 3700mAh NiMH Battery 20 oz $59.95 (I had it leftover from a dirt bike project)
Trail tech Battery Bag & mount$19.95

I used the existing thread inserts on the back side of the foot stirrup to secure the trail tech mount and added a third bolt lower into the foot well kick plate (obviously, do not leave a bolt protruding into the battery or your foot)

The battery needs a full charge before use!
Zip tie harness and wires up tight and ready to go! No rebooting when going into reverse, easier to learn the gauge functions with out running the motor, updates etc. It works well

thanks for the how-to

Don't think you're going to be charging the sled battery from DC PWR.


That plug powers up the ECM for testing, TPS setting. It's unfused, and input only, even tho it will kick out DC amps when running, but you run the risk of thrashing the ECM, VR if you're pulling amps from it. Charging circuit is not part of DC PWR.

Correct on that! And it will not power up the IDD

OMG!
I knew I wasn't the only one LOL. Thanks for doing all the research for me!
Cheers!
