ATV & UTV Batteries

What's the difference between ATV and UTV, and do they use the same batteries?

They tend to be bigger and more powerful, often providing "side by side" riding, also referred to as "SXS." They also offer more storage space and comfort. For the most part, ATVs and UTVs use the same type of batteries, but it's always best to check with your vehicle's manufacturer's recommendations to ensure everything matches.

In addition, the technology and construction of AGM batteries make them durable, shock-proof and allow you to mount them in various positions.
