Get your gear together and hit the trail knowing your ATV is powered up, ready to roll, and won’t let you down.
The best part of fall is getting outside and enjoying the weather and scenic sites. And if you happen to be the lucky owner of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), well, you’re probably already out there. No need to worry much about social distancing if you’re riding with the wind along a mountain trail or blitzing along a sand beach with the ocean spray in your face.
All you need to do is a little preparation to make sure your ride is maintenance-ready and set to go. And the most important thing to check is your battery.
Your ATV’s engine supplies the horsepower that propels it, but most of the accessories that you might want to use run off the battery. Whether you're using the headlights, a winch or some other kind of attachment, you need a battery that can supply the necessary power. The battery also powers the electric starter, so you need it just to get going.
ATVs use lead acid batteries; the conventional kind you have to top off with distilled water, or AGM (absorbed glass mat) varieties. AGM batteries generally cost more, but provide more power and require less maintenance. ATV batteries are designed to be good at providing a brief shot of power, such as when the ATV starts or when using the winch for a few minutes. Long-term use, like leaving the headlights on without the engine running, can drain the battery.
The battery is usually charged by the ATV's charging system. Whenever the engine is running, the battery is being charged -- as long as you're not doing something that drains the battery faster than it can be charged. It's important to make sure the battery is charged up before you shut the ATV down and put it away. Without a full charge, sulfates can build up inside the battery and reduce its efficiency.
ATV batteries can also be charged by an external charger. It's recommended that you use a charger designed for "powersport" batteries.
There are crucial differences between ATV batteries and automotive batteries, so using a car battery charger isn't the best choice.
What about lithium batteries for my ATV?
If you’re in the market for a superior power source for your ATV, be sure to check out how lithium-ion batteries stack up against other types. If you’re exploring mountain trails and remote locations, the last thing you want to have is battery anxiety.
Lithium batteries offer many benefits over lead-acid alternatives for your overland travels. They're smaller and weigh less, are temperature resistant, provide more usable capacity, charge faster and offer zero voltage sag. Plus, they last longer than their standard deep cycle counterparts, making them a smart long-term investment.
What to Look for In An ATV Battery
Dependability is priority when you’re off-road on your adventures. ATV lithium-ion batteries won’t let you down with battery life span that exceeds a decade.
Bumpy rides are part of the ATV experience, but you can manage the vibration control better with a durable lithium-ion battery.
ATV batteries are built with numerous safeguards to prevent overheating and fire hazards, but safety for your power source is always a concern. Because of lithium battery technology advances, manufacturers are incorporating phosphorus into the batteries, which increases the safety of every unit.
Lithium-ion batteries cost more than lead acid counterparts, but easily prove their value in the long run. Cost is less an issue when you’re saving on replacement outlays.
One thing you don’t want on your ATV is too much weight. Heavy batteries slow down your ATV and you can go faster and farther with lightweight lithium ATV batteries which are about a third of the weight.
To achieve top performance, lithium-ion batteries only need to be fully charged one time. However, lead acid batteries perform best when charging is staggered over multiple sessions, using up more energy and wasting your time.
Efficient charging is a smart time saver with lithium-ion batteries and your ATV will be practically maintenance free.
When it comes to outdoor fun on your ATV, whether you call it a quad, three-wheeler, four-track, four-wheeler or quadricycle -- think Motobatt for ultimate battery power. You’ll be ready to roll with a Motobatt lithium-ion battery and charger. Motobatt batteries come factory activated so you can hit the trail even faster.

For extreme off-road ATV riders, an electric winch is a real lifesaver when stuck in potholes and mud.
The electric winch is very easy to install and operate, it is controlled by a remote control, which is installed on the steering wheel of the ATV. Most importantly, such a winch will not require much physical effort from you to pull out the ATV. It has an electric motor powered by a battery. When choosing, you need to proceed from engine power and tractive effort. It is recommended to choose a winch with a pulling force of 1.5-2 times the weight of the ATV. And how to install, connect and use it, we will tell in this article.
Electric winch is a drum with an electric motor. To connect it to the battery, the kit includes an electric unit and a set of wires, with the help of which the battery and the winch are connected. The control panel can be wireless and wired, which is also connected to the unit.
To mount the winch to the ATV, you need a platform, brackets, bolts and clamps. The kit also includes a roller lip, and a cable complete with a hook may also be included.
The electrical box is recommended to be installed slightly away from the winch, but most often it is installed on the platform. Next, we connect the power cables in accordance with the connection diagram specified by the manufacturer in the product data sheet.
We connect the control panel and install it on the ATV steering wheel. It is recommended to pull the wires tightly, excluding their friction with other parts. They also need to be protected with cable corrugations.
Next, we fix the roller lip to the platform using bolts. And you can assemble all parts of the ATV back.
Once you've installed your electric winch, it's worth testing it out on level ground before driving it off-road. Using a winch requires certain knowledge and compliance with safety rules. Below, we will tell you what you need to know when pulling an ATV out of a hole or mud with a winch.
Important!
When working with a winch, all safety rules specified in the equipment passport must be observed. You must not approach the cable and winch in working condition and allow other people to approach it. It is necessary to use a cable damper, as in the event of a break, it can damage people and objects around.
Before use, you need to make sure that all elements are in working condition, that they do not have breaks or damage, and that all fasteners are fixed sufficiently securely.
After using the winch, it must be cleaned of dirt, dried and lubricated with special oil.
A winch is a must have when traveling off-road. It allows you to pull a stuck ATV out of mud, water or deep ruts. Many models of CFMOTO ATVs and ATVs have a winch from the factory, for others it needs to be purchased separately. In this article, we will tell you how the winch works, what to look for when choosing, and also give useful tips on how to use it.
The ATV winch is a drum with a cable. An electric motor is located on one side of the drum, and a gearbox on the other. Rotation from the electric motor to the gearbox transmits a shaft that passes inside the drum. The gears of the planetary mechanism are located in the gearbox.
Reducer reduces speed and increases traction. The rotation from the gearbox is transmitted to the drum, which winds the cable, creating traction and gradually pulling out the stuck equipment.
One of the key parameters to consider when choosing a winch is traction. It determines the maximum weight of the load that can be torn off the surface. With each skein of the drum, the winch force decreases.
Thrust is measured in pounds (labeled on winches as lbs), 1 lb = 0.45 kg. The force depends on a number of features: the diameter of the drum, the number of wound turns, the power of the electric motor, as well as the gear ratio of the gearbox.
It is not always necessary to choose the most powerful and fastest winch: the more powerful the mechanism, the more difficult it is to handle. Beginners can harm equipment and even their health - it is not uncommon for a broken cable or a broken hook to cause injury.
Suitable for ATV cubic capacity:
Steel - cheap and easy. Requires work with gloves, not repairable. May cause injury if mishandled.
Synthetic - requires maintenance but is easy to use. It does not "shoot", and if the cable is damaged or torn, it can be braided on the spot.
Most experts believe that material choice should be based on personal preference: some riders lean towards steel over time, others towards synthetics.
The winch is installed on a special platform on the ATV frame. If there is no platform, you need to buy it and install it according to the instructions. The site has standard anchor points that fit classic winches up to 3,500 feet of pull.
When choosing a winch, pay attention to the width of the drum:
With certain skills, you can modify the fasteners and install almost any winch - the main thing is not to make the fasteners "break" and not to strengthen weak points. If the ATV is under warranty, it is advisable not to touch the frame and buy a regular winch.
Installing the winch is easy, but the connection will have to be tricky.
To lay the wiring, it is advisable to remove the plastic from the ATV. The winch must be connected to the control unit and battery. It is recommended to keep the power cable as short as possible to avoid current loss. All wires must be hidden in the corrugation so that they do not come into contact with the frame and are protected from moisture.
