Yours probably has more cold cranking amps. They have a ton of different models and sizes, I picked the smallest one because I am only powering up the gauge. I have no Electric start.

Please note the cautions noted on the lithium battery in the post above. Do not charge without a charger that doesn't have an automatic shutoff. Or charge above 14.9 volts. And also it says to remove the battery during charging. So how are these cautions midigated by using the sleds charging system?

I don't know how the Sleds charging system will affect this battery. I see others using the LI Ion batteries for this application and also some are using them on E-start models as well. Do not buy this battery if your not sure. I am testing it this season. We have standard AGM batteries available that are made for this application. I am willing to test due to the weight savings and the fact that all I need is PIDD power.

I did buy a LI specific charger has an automatic shut-off and will be used to charge the battery when I disconnect from sled.

Just wanna chime in and see how this has been working. Looking at doing this myself. Is the new small LI battery holding up to that sled charging system?

So far we have 3 of them running around just with the guys I ride with. None of us have electric start. All of us keep our PIDD powered up after shutting sled down for a break. Only turn them off when we are done riding for the day. Never a battery issue with the smallest WPS firepower LI battery that I sell.

Putting in my order. Thanks for setting up the kit for us brotha

So I understand now that the PIDD can be powered up by a Polaris Power Up kit and battery of your choice.

What I am trying to figure out, if adding power to one of these plugs just above the clutch on left side, would you be able to power up the PIDD in your garage to update maps? 1 of the plugs says "Gauge PWR Test". Would connecting 12v to that plug power up the PIDD?

I am sure that is the way they do it if you take it to the dealer.

I’ve had the trail tech battery for two full seasons now. Zero issues for charging (non es sled w es harness) and mounted mine to the steering post junction upside down. Out of sight.
Charge it up before the season starts. And runs flawless. Always kept on during breaks.

Ordered Polaris battery kit from Go Big Parts and the lightweight lithium battery. Cut apart the battery box and molded to fit small battery. Mounted in space available beside oil reservoir on clutch cover. Looks and functions great. Someone needs to manufacture a small box like this for the lightweight battery. Fits great where I put it and the wire harness is plug and play.

Sorry we are no longer selling the power up kit. We do still sell the featherlite batteries which are working well for us still.

Hi there Pro. You have enough room with the ECU plugged in? You dont have a stock air box, correct? Think this would work on a stock Axys?

The featherweight small battery sat in my sled all summer, never put it on the charger. Went to use the sled this weekend and the battery instantly powered up my guage and left it powered up after shutting the sled off via kill switch. Working very well.
