  • Battery trouble

    I am now on my second battery I bought from Canadian tire I only use my Argo two or three times a year but when I go to start it it's completely dead and only way I can get it fixed is to take back and get it replaced under warranty
    never will ride anything with less then 6 wheels again

    I bought the be best eliminator 1000 for car truck and 4x4, could never get more than 3 years out of them. Just enough to pay an arm and a leg for their pro-rated warranty where yiu give them enough to buy a new one. Want with Interstate and never looked back. Tsc power sport batteries don't last either. Yuasa in my atv are going on 6 years. My friend had an Interstate in his Benz for 10 years

      You need to have a battery tender (trickle charger) on it when not in use.

        Disconnecting the battery should cure it, but none of us seem to do it.

        My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
        Joe Camel never does that.

          Disconnecting it will help, I have a neverstart on my brushhog that is several years old and I always disconnect the ground side. Sometimes not even that helps when the battery isn't cycled occasionally. It seems like the absolute worst thing that can happen to a battery is to not use it. The shop I work in constantly changes batteries due to lack of use, some may have no more than 6 starts on them. Then they sit for a year or more and never get charged. the next time that piece of equipment comes in for it's annual service the batteries (as many as 4) have to be changed.
          DESTRUCTION is just a couple of vowels down the street from DISTRACTION

            try unpluging your battery when no using the argo. or check your regulator to see if it is still working. the fuse might be blown on the wire that charges the battery!
