Right now I am pretty frustrated. I had just finished replacing one 8V battery, (thanks, Mark) in my 98 lead-acid Ranger and it seemed to be a successful...
Hi terry , it looks like you need to borrow the tester again only this time look for the codes in the abs system , that is what the airbag light is telling you...
Happy Holidays, Could rain have gotten into your PCS? My DS-50 shorted out due to rain. Anthony ... one 8V battery, (thanks, Mark) in my 98 lead-acid Ranger...
I have a 98 lead-acid RangerEV and am in need of a few batteries to carry me over until I can afford a full conversion. I was wondering if anyone might have...
Dave - Lanny would probably advise you to go with 2- 12volt batteries to replace 3-8volts but where are you located? I think Lanny has a bunch of 8¹s left...
yes scott is correct, the 8 volts are less then 50% capacity that are left so I have not recommended that anybody use them, I have sent the last 8 volters to...
Lanny-I was looking at the Trojan AGM24 and ran across the T-860 which is an 8V. Why would'nt I want to use this? Dave ... From: ranger-ev@yahoogroups.com...
Lanny, I can see how the resistors would fool the BCM when measuring module voltage but how does the balancing work? Doesn't it try to balance each 8V cell? ...
Thank you for keeping this fleet running. My NiMH is still in VT. I can't wait to get it back. Anthony ... are ... take the ... 24 ... replacing ... little...
Hi dave since it is a resistor pack (2 resistor values) between the posts of the 12 volt batteries it is perfectly balanced since it is 1/2 of the battery...
I have not looked at it, it must be a AGM battery or it is not compatible , it also must not be too big of a case or it will not fit in the case correctly ... ...
Dave, I have one 8v that I think is better than the ones Lanny is getting rid of, I have kept it charged and shows about 8.5 v and I am in North Carolina. ...
Lanny-What are the values of the resistors that you use? I found the wiring diagrams for the 2001 in the files section. How close will that be to my '98? The...
Hi dave, the values are on the bottom of the diagram that is in the files posted from jeff , EV BONES Owner , the values are 5.11K0hm .001% and 2.55Kohm...

I was reading in the shop manuals that there is a pre-heat option on the mail delivery versions of the Ranger. Is there a way to trigger this or to instal the...
Yes, I really enjoyed that feature when I had an EV1. I've tried the obvious things on my Ranger-EV, but I'm unable to make the heater turn on while the...
Lanny- Thanks for detailed explanation. Makes sense. Regarding the files from Jeff, I am looking in the files section of the site and I don't see any from him....
Hi dave, it is in the files section but I can not remember what it is called ... I am doing the LifePo4 install today and tomorrow but when we are finished ...
OK , scott and myself have spent the last few days doing the preliminary setup of the pack of 100 cells of 3.2 volt 100AH Lifepo4 cells into his ranger ... he...
I recently got an NGS and looked at my Ranger settings. My BAT_MC was reading as 71.9AMHR. After I looked through things I did a "Reset Historical Data" and...
Hi tom, the default value is 95AH when you do a historical data reset .. but really as long as you are above 75AH you are doing ok ... the NIMH rangers do not...
Three Cheers Guys, This is so exciting!!! Good luck with the charging and thanks for the update it's fun to watch History in the making. Keep Charging Forward,...
Lanny had a cheap 12volt heater that plugs into the 12 volt socket that used about .75 amps. That could be used to heat the cabin while the charger is pluged...
Lanny, The owner's manual has the following entry under NiMH battery heating/cooling system on page 20: *Battery pack heating/cooling system (nickel metal...
Hi ian , The BCM in the nickel metal system is the one I am using ... I have so far never witnessed an overcharge state over 385 volts, of course for the...
Hi guys ..... I have had some questions on the monitoring system for the Lifepo4 battery cells ............. Here is the way I currently see it ..... the...
