well if you own a king quad, you might have a problem with the battery draining while sitting in the cold winter months. You can solve this by getting a battery tender for it, it solved my problems.

How long was it sitting? and How cold you talking? Mine has been sitting for 1 week now in under 30 degree weather with no problems?

I also just had that problem this week. It was sitting about a month and it has been cold, battery tender fixed that problem.

There is definatly a constant power surge going on with these kings. Something is running in the background while ignition is off. I checked my tender last night, said full charge, went out this morning and it said charging again. I also had to buy a battery tender, my battery flattened and would not keep a charge for longer then 3 days. Machine is only 7 months old with very little driving on it. Oh well no biggy i guess, only a 20 dollar setback. Nice to know my battery will always be there for me now in the cold morning starts.

ya my battery finally died. damn thing. Wouldn't even hold enough charge for me to ride it around. I would jump it then it would die 30 feet later. No light no nothing. Put it into 4wd and it would die. I was snowed in so I rigged up a battery off a KFX400 to get me buy lol. So far so good
