[QUOTE="Mizzou21, post: 150191, member: 3243"] Hey fellas, I am looking for some advice on ATV power. I have a 16 Polaris Sportsman 1000. It is all factory stuff, including battery. My question is how many accessories can I run without risking my machine not starting while on the ice? I have a Lowrance 5 inch gps on a ram mount that I can plug into the cigarette lighter of the machine. I also use a heated helmet sometimes when moving snow or driving a long ways like on lake Winnipeg and that can be plugged in the cig lighter as well. If I have both of them plugged into cig lighter at same time and shut them down or disconnect when the machine is not running, will I be ok? Should I upgrade the existing battery to a more powerful one? Should I get an auxiliary battery and mount a box to connect these extras to? Thanks for the feedback guys, I would rather be safe than sorry, especially when out on the ice a ways!! [/QUOTE]
