Ben, thanks for your thoughts on your preferred solution. We're working on not only a plug and play battery and hardware solution for the PbA trucks based on...
Sorry Lan, My mistake. I had not seen that spec before. Only the continuous which is a little misleading. Even so 30 amps for cruise is reasonable. What do you...
Hi bouty, I have found it to be very hard to find real data sheets ... just over the last year I have 3 sheets from the Hi-Power for the same cells ... and of...
Hello Bouty 30 amps for EV use as you know is not the concern. The problem is everything else done while driving. Like starting from a stop, inclines, freeway ...
I don't think it's worth our time to get hung up on whether company 'A' says their 'normal' is 0.3C and another company says 0.4C. Those numbers apply to the...
Thanks Andy, as I am going to do a test with a set of 50AH Hi-Power cells since they are now sending out a rating of 2C to 3C with peaks of 5C now ..(they...
I have a nihn pack and I don't know if it is good or bad. I should know in about a week. I will be interested in the lifepo4 batteries if the ones I have are...
Don, Thank you for your effors to keep us moving. I love my 2000 Ranger EV NiMH....I love everything about it....the range is always the issue at car shows...
Hello Anthony The cost of shipping from the dealer and then shipping to you totaled 57.20 so there is a 7.20 balance due. I did not hold up shipping your pump...
Hi andy, the vehicle will actually start with only 50 volts (wont go anywhere but it will start) ... normally with a good pack ov batteries lead acid peak 420...
If you have a NIMH battery that is down to under 10.5 volts (which is fully discharged) it is most likely way past its point of no return ... a 8 volt battery...
Hello all again, I'm still wanting to sell my 1999 NIMH ranger, running GREAT, price down to 19k. Please pass the word.... Thanks, Betty ... [Non-text...
Awesome! It does weight a ton, but I am glad a spare will be living in my attic until needed. Thank you again, Anthony Ps..7.20 balance sent out today...
For those interested in LiFePO4 management - the absolute best overview comes from a gent in the Midwest. I highly recommend grabbing some popcorn and camping...
Cool. Here's what I have for voltages: Lead Acid: 292V controller shutdown, Normal end of charge 385V, peak 420V NiMH: 280V minimum, 350V normal, 385V peak ...
Syosset Ford located on Long Island, NY is moving their Service facility.....They were going to TOSS their Ranger EV tools....JUST IN TIME....I should be...
Anthony, The coffin is 8feet long, 3 feet wide, and about 30 inches high, and I want to say it weighs maybe 100 lbs, I never lifted the empty box only the lid...
I am not sure reading these two posts. Is it the battery tray that is part of the Ranger containing the batteries or the battery tray hoist that Anthony is...
All, Sorry its the Hoist. They quoted me a price of $7500. I don't have ANYTHING like that laying around. Is this the kind of group buy we had in mind? ...
Hello Anthony The hoist is big and I am sure very heavy. I believe there are at least two Ranger owners on this list that have one and can tell you more. I...
Anthony, As you know, I have a Battery Tray Lift as well as the Factory Ford Service Tools. The hoist is big and heavy and not very practical. I bought mine...
Hi anthony, I hope they tools are pretty much gold plated so you could recoup the cost as an investment later on .... the only actual tool I own is the NGS and...
Larry, I don't think there are any new BCMs available from Ford. You should contact BlueSky and see about getting a quality used part from them. What makes you...
Lanny, I am getting my Ranger EV NGS card shortly. I have recently reinstalled my Pb-Acid battery pack after replacing a few bad batteries. I tried charging...
First you need to do a battery test to make sure that everything inside the pack is ok... then you can bypass it all with the NGS tester and force a first...
