Shop all Polaris ATV batteriesWhy the year matters on this one
The Sportsman 500 is an ATV where the battery changed mid-run: 1996 to 2005 takes the YTX14AH-BS, 2006 the ATX30, 2007 to 2010 the ATX20 and 2011 to 2013 the YTX14AH-BS. The plate above names the source for each year, and the table shows every run we have on file, so match the year to the case before you order.
For 2011 to 2013 that means the Antigravity ATX12-AH RE-START: 360 cranking amps, 3 pounds, the same case in lithium. Its RE-START function puts the battery to sleep before a parasitic draw can drain it, then wakes it with one press for a jump start. Some trims of this model take a different battery; check the code on yours. Charge it with a lithium-compatible charger or maintainer for the off-season and it outlasts the lead-acid battery it replaces by years.
