Can you charge an ATV battery with a car battery?

While it is technically possible to charge an ATV battery with a car battery, it is not recommended. Car batteries are typically 12 volts, while ATV batteries are typically 6 or 8 volts. This means that connecting a car battery to an ATV battery could overcharge and damage the ATV battery.

In addition, car batteries are much more powerful than ATV batteries, so there is a risk of sparking or even an explosion if the batteries are not connected properly. If you need to charge an ATV battery, it is best to use a battery charger specifically designed for ATVs.

However, if you find yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to use a car battery, here are some safety tips to follow:

- Make sure that both the car battery and the ATV battery are turned off.

- Connect the positive terminals of the batteries together, and then connect the negative terminals together.

- Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to charge the ATV battery.

- Turn off the car and disconnect the batteries.

Be sure to follow these steps carefully, as improper charging can damage the ATV battery.
