Tilt the bed up and look right behind the seat back and you will see the plug wire and boot.  Manual recommends removing the bed to make access easier.  My 2015 still has original plug and runs great.

What airshot said. Still have the original in my 2014 but I don't think mine worked as much as his! I DO have a lawn & garden battery in mine instead of that anemic little thing Kymco put in there!

Have not had any issues with the original battery, mine is a sealed battery that is over 5 yrs old. In winter cold I do keep a battery tender hooked up for the added winch use used for plowing snow. Mine is an 18ah battery, better than many other SxS come with.

Mine is a 2015, original battery. Also keep a battery tender hooked to it.
