Lithium battery in a Polaris Ranger EV? Update: 6 months after

I have not but lithium is the way to go.
Check out lithiumhub.com I have these in my boat.

I've never seen the batteries in a Ranger EV but are they 8 volt golf cart batteries or 12 volt deep cycle?

I switched my 36v golf cart to lithium last year, no regrets, also lost about 200 lb of weight so cart runs better and longer

Sell it. Polaris Evs (non kinetic) are time bombs with a shelf life.

In what way in particular?

Electronics failure.

I've yet to see one make it over 5 years.

The new kinetics are built to a much higher standard.

I wouldn't use them for heavy hunting camp lifestyle. But, my neighbor's is a 2013 and mine is a 2014 and still going. We both use it for light farm work. Basically a glorified golf cart with a bed in the back.

I just need battery replacement, but to your point I don't want to invest a lot in a frame and chassis and motor that are a decade old.

I'm thinking for our workload either the 1-bundle battery (27Ah) or 2-bundle (54Ah) from lithiumhub would suffice.

Update: I went with the LithiumHub.com 1-bundle battery (27Ah) about 6 months ago. Only about $1000 for that, and I paid Gayle Battery in Baker to install it for a few hours labor.

Been working like a charm. But, we don't need a battery set to last a whole weekend hunting. (If we did I would have gone with the 4-battery pack which runs around $3600.)

We use our Polaris about 30-45 minutes twice a day and then it's parked and charging, so this setup works. And no more water maintenance!
