Hello All ...
This is my first post in the forum. I just got a used 2014 Sportsman Classic 200.
I got it home and started checking everything out. I didn't get around to looking at the battery for a few hours. When I checked it, the battery was very dry, and HOT. I disconnected right away, and got some water into the battery after it cooled down. I checked the next day and my lights didn't seem to work on battery. I checked the Electrical unit and saw that a fuse was blown, it was labelled as "charge" and had a 20amp fuse. This was labelled as circuit 5.
I replaced the 20 amp fuse and things seemed like they were going to be OK. After about 15-30 minutes, the new 20 amp fuse was again blown.
Is this indicating that the battery is the problem? I am no electrical engineer!
Is this a circuit that could take a larger fuse? In the manual, it does mention that circuits 5 and 6 can take a maximum of a 30 Adc, and all others are max 20.
Any help would be much appreciated.
