Why does my ATV battery keep losing charge?

To test if your battery holds a charge, simply disconnect both terminals and fully charge the battery. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage. If it still loses its charge over a day or two, you likely have a bad battery. Notice that this behavior may be due to internal sulfation, which sometimes can be fixed.

This happens when something – a glovebox light, an amplifier, any electrical component – is pulling power from the battery when it shouldn’t.

Why the Battery Drains Overnight A slow battery drain when everything is off is called a parasitic power loss. This happens when something – a glovebox light, an amplifier, any electrical component – is pulling power from the battery when it shouldn’t.
