So my sister just won a brand new one in the Primos contest. Its listed at 15,779 with all the extras. I know she will sell it when she gets it. Was wondering what a good listing price would be. She needs the money so I don't want her to be low balled thats why I'm asking. Thanks.

Changing Algo from 11 to 72

I am wondering if the 11 algo may be putting a soft of a charge at the end of the charge cycle and that may be why the battery indicator is not reading a full charge. If this is the case it may be good to change the algo to 72. I have not had that issue on my machine for the simple reason that my EV is a 2010 model and my battery indicator does not read percentages. If that is the case we probably should be switching to 72.

My 2012 ev won't charge. I get 7 amber flashes followed by 3 amber flashes. This sequence repeats twice then goes to 2 red flashes continuously. Replaced the batteries about 3 months ago. Runs and operates perfectly other than the charge problem. Can anyone interpret the error code for me or offer some other advice? Any help is much appreciated.

Ranger Ev ingnition/ electrical errors WHEN WET

I have a 2013 ev. Ive noticed recently that when im driving in the rain, or after ive hosed off my ranger, i am having electrical issues. This only happens when it gets wet, so it clearly is the common denominator.

What i am experiencing....
* The dash lights and display stay on, even when the key is turned off and out of the ignition.
* It will not move or go into gear with the the key turned on, but the dash and battery indicater lights are on. Once it is dry everything is normal again.
* Their is a clicking noise...
* Their are no flashing error lights or indicators when this happens.

Does anyone know what this problem may be reflective of?? I could really use some guidence before hauling it to the ranger dealer which is a long ways from whr I live.

Looking to buy 2012 EV: Any Tips or Precautions?

Folks,
I've been stopping by and reading this forum on and off for around a month. I'm looking for buy an EV and was wondering if you all could offer up any advice.

I'm in Nebraska and the first thing if you find one of these for sale in a 3 month period you are lucky, so I think that drives the price up. I found a 2012 model at a local dealership, with around 110 hours on it. I think the asking price of $6900 is a good starting price. I just want to know if there is anything with the 2012 model that I should be aware off. Are there upgrades or updates that should of be done that I can look for? Any known defects for the 2012 model that I should stay away from? Any upgrade that is a must have to make the life of the batteries and or motor more long term?

Sorry for all the newb questions I just don't want to make a terrible decision.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I left the EV in an unheated garage for a few days the temps went down to 10 over night. Went to move the EV and nothing. Winched it on to a trailer and moved to a heated garage. Next day the gauge says full but no click no movement. Any suggestions?

I just bought a new Ranger RV 2015 mid size with a roof and front glass window.I speed on the winch offered by polaris as it seemed very pricy. How hard is it to mount a winch? Where are the best buys? We do maple syrup and i'll be in the woods all mud season.
Thanks for any pointers.

Lower part swaps back n forth from volts to percentage Haven't had a chance to test it on ride yet but may get to go to the woods friday

Does anyone have any info or any products such as Arched forward a arms purchased from DEEP SOUTH ARMOR? I have visited their site and it has very limited info nation about the company besides it being located in GA. Did Backwoods armor change names? No Company info or pics of ranger lifts. Although they have a twitter and face book site. They could be rebuilding their site. They made a post on the other ranger forum about someone looking for tires and i sent them a email requesting info on a arms and within 2hours someone sent me back a response with pics of arched a arms on a ranger.

Considering a 2010 EV... Need advice

Hey guys,

I am looking at a 2010 EV with just over 100 hrs, and supposedly newer batteries and have some concerns.

The current owner said it is doing the 6 red flash code, and that it had done this once before and the wiring harness had to be replaced.

I have read the thread from 2011 on these issues, but there didn't seem to be a definitive solution. Burnt plug from bad controller? Charger setting not correct?

My concern is buying this machine (once he gets it going) then have to replace the charger/controller in the near future.

Should I run for the hills or is this an easy fix?

New batteries but getting bad range

January 18, 2016, 6:52 am

I have a 2010 ranger ev that I purchased almost a year ago. i believe it had original batteries in it when i bought it. It has about 300 hours on it. I got a fair deal on it and knew that it more than likely needed batteries. As it was, i could only get about 2 miles on a charge. I mostly drive it in max range mode and one wheel drive.

This year i decided to replace the batteries to see if i could get the 15-20 miles other people are getting. I replaced all the batteries with new us 12vxc2. I also repalced all the cables with 4 guage battery cables. Thing is, im still only getting about 2-3 miles range. I had thoughts if the charger was bad so over the last day or two Ive put a charger on each battery. All but two were charged to about 95% ( according to mu 12v smart charger) the last two batteries were charged to about 80%.

Any ideas about why my range may be so poor? Ive been thinking of contacting the battery supplier to see if my batteries are defective. But i cant imagine getting 8 bad batteries all at once. Any help or advice would be appretiated. Thanks

thinking of buying an EV for a small farm

Hi, Everyone:

I’m considering buying a Polaris EV to use on a small farm (around 20 acres). I have the following questions--please assume that I’m an idiot in your answers, because the only similar vehicle I’m familiar with is the electric golf cart that I’ve had for the past 10 years:

1. I’ve seen YouTube videos of people using the Polaris EV to mow by attaching a brush hog to it. Do you think that’s realistic? I want to use it to mow the farm, since buying a tractor seems a bit overkill and less versatile than the Polaris EV would be. The fields that I want to mow are mostly flat and easy--would the Polaris be able to handle it?

2. If you think that the Polaris *could* handle it, what would I need to purchase? I’m not completely clear on what a winch is or does (hence the “idiot” sentence above), but I’m assuming that it’s something that allows the Polaris to tow other things, like a hitch? If so, I’ll need to purchase that from the Polaris dealer at the time I buy the EV? Polaris doesn’t appear to sell a brush hog. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I should go to get a suitable brush hog?

3. These expensive batteries scare me to death, since I’ve never been great about watering the batteries in my golf cart. If I get the EV, I plan to be a totally reformed person. I like those things that somehow attach into the batteries and allow you to water the batteries with just one pulse. Where do I get those? Is that something that I could ask the Polaris dealer to do for me?

4. I’ve been reading on these forums that the battery charging algorithm needs to be reset to take somewhat longer, so that it doesn’t fry the batteries. I’m in favor of not frying the batteries! Is this something that I could ask the dealer to do for me, before I get the EV? If so, what’s the current thinking on the optimum setting for a 2016 EV?

That’s about all I can think of. If anyone has any other input on the plusses and minuses of buying an EV for tooling around and mowing a small farm, I’d love to hear what you have to say. Thanks!

Si (Silicon) solar power?

Just watched an infomercial on new solar tech panels made from silicon sand and new tech batteries to store the energy. Anyone know more about this? Is it real? My ev's could recharge themselves while in use, trail cameras the same. They claim the new tech gathers energy on cloudy days and even at night? I'm skeptical.

Folks,
Looking at purchasing a 2012 unit that has 6 of the 8 batteries failing/bad. The dealership doesn't want to mess with the change, long story short, I offered a low ball offer and they excepted it.

So I'm looking at the Trojan T-1275 to replace them. My Two questions are:
1. Which model: T-1275, T-1275 Plus, or the T-1275 AGM?
2. Who has them the cheapest?

Let me know, what you think and thanks for the help.

Filling batteries in the cold

I have a Pro-Fill watering system. Worked great in the summer and fall. Now it's winter, and that's the problem.

Seems I neglected to empty the excess water from one of the fill ports, which - after talking to the folk at Jan Watercraft - is a known way to mung up the fill port. Which I did. I bought two replacement fill ports, one to repair the current breakage and one to have on hand. Lesson learned.

The support fellow at JW said that their system is such that there is no battery acid in the fill lines, just water. So for the future I can see the letting excess water drain out of at least the first foot or so of tubing. But how do you drain the rest of the tubing that is connecting the banks? The water will freeze in there (I know this empirically) and that's keeping me from making sure the batteries are at the proper level after several weeks sub-32°F.

Hints? A heating pad? Lots of sunlight? The heat from charging the batteries? The EV is stored in a roofed but otherwise unheated shed.

Low Range noise

Went to a hunting spot yesterday that has a lot of steep long hills and water bars. The Temp was 30 degrees. Decided to put the EV in low. going over some of the water bars uphill i would give it a little extra accelerator. The EV front end or drive shaft would make a lot of noise and vibration. really sounded like plastic vibrating. I know it has a Gov. or limit in the low range and i don't use that mode very often. any ideas
