Check your main egnie ground (block to frame) for corrosion. You can get a battery tender float charger to maintain the perfect charge on the battery but it sounds like you may have a ground problem.

Testimonial: "I have installed a fully auto trickle charger which helps immensely.[by cold weather I meant -15 C]"

I have a 2012 Yamaha grizzly 300 2wd and it won’t hold a charge in the battery and it seems like it ain’t getting much gas to keep it running need help before I sell

Put a new battery in it and add it to the price. ATV batteries are abused, they need a trickle charge if not used for a month. Expected life in a neglected state would be 3 to 4 years. Is it the original battery and 8 years old? Strip and clean the carburetor.

HS400atv, will not power up. Battery is definitely charged. Ignition switch replaced once, week later had the same issue. Is there a module i should be looking for instead?

If your HS400ATV is not powering up even with a fully charged battery and you've already replaced the ignition switch, there may indeed be another module or component that could be causing the issue. Here are a few possibilities to consider:
1. Main Fuse: Check the main fuse for the ATV. It is typically located near the battery or within the fuse box. Ensure that the fuse is not blown and is making proper contact. A blown main fuse can prevent power from reaching the ignition switch and other electrical components.
2. Starter Solenoid: The starter solenoid is responsible for engaging the starter motor when you turn the ignition key. If the solenoid is faulty or not functioning correctly, it can prevent the ATV from powering up. Inspect the solenoid for any signs of damage or loose connections. Consider testing the solenoid or replacing it if necessary.
3. Kill Switch/Safety Interlock: Check if there is a kill switch or safety interlock feature on your ATV. These safety mechanisms are designed to prevent the ATV from starting under certain conditions, such as when the brakes are not engaged or if the ATV is not in neutral. Make sure these switches are in the correct position and functioning properly.
4. Wiring and Connectors: Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any loose, damaged, or corroded connections. Pay close attention to the connections between the battery, ignition switch, and any other modules or components. Clean and tighten any loose connections, and repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.
5. Electronic Control Module (ECM): The ECM or other control modules could be a potential source of the issue. These modules control various electrical functions in the ATV. However, diagnosing and testing these modules often requires specialized tools and knowledge. It may be best to consult a professional ATV mechanic or an authorized dealer who can properly diagnose and test the modules if needed.
If you've checked these possibilities and the issue still persists, it is recommended to seek professional assistance. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to diagnose and resolve electrical issues specific to your HS400ATV.

The starter engages and starts the motor fine when the motor is cold. however if you ride and try to restart the starter just spins and you can only start using the kick stater.
