I am thinking of adding air conditioning to my truck, and wondered if there is anyone else who is interested in adding it to theirs. I have found a system...
Hey Ranver EV folks, My vacuum pump is getting really loud now and I wouldn't be suprised if it failes soon. Has anyone tried the replacement one from metric...
Hi, My name is Bob and I live on the Central Coast of California. I've joined the group to help figure out a resolution to my 82yo friend's 1999 Ranger EV....
Hey Bob, Nice to hear from you. I live in Santa Cruz and I drive a PbA Ranger (1998) as my every- day vehicle. I don't know how to tell from outside the...
Well, as I recall the NiMH vehicles have labels on the battery tray and the harnesses saying "for connection only to NiMH batteries," or something like that....
Hi Bob! Generally it is very easy to determine whether it is a NiMh unit or a lead acid truck. Look at the VIN number on the dash and it will start with...
The VIN is 1FTZR087217A15243, so that makes it a Lead acid by your reckoning. Based on what I've seen on ebay, $7500 seems like the price with half-expended...
It really depends. I was just outbid on a Solectria S-10 that went for $8500. It was US gov surplus and looked like half the components were sitting in the...
You should be able to sell it as is for the $7500. I would try to charge the current pack. There is little risk in trying. If it works, you just upped the...
FYI there is a NGS (Rotunda) tester on ebay...looks new with a Buy it now price of @745...that is very cheap for what is there. Also it is set up as a "make an...

Thanks for the helpful advice, All. We're going to go the accessory battery route, as recommended, first. If we determine that it needs a new battery pack...
Hi, Even if the batteries are bad, there are plenty of options for installing new batteries. I have done a few trucks so far. If you are willing to put in a...
Hi, Does anyone have a spare lead acid charger for the Ranger that they are looking to sell? Mine seems to have lost all of its smoke, so now the truck wont...
We've decided to sell the above vehicle. It is not running and has not been operated for about 8-9 months. We assume it is just run down batteries, but offer...
Bob, I just talked with you on the phone. After hanging up I had the thought of asking you to put me third on your list at the price you mentioned. This is a...
Some people responded back to me personally with info, so I thought I should pass it back and share it to the list in case anyone didn't already know this. The...

Hi All, I have just converted my Ranger to running on 130Ah batteries. So far I am extremely impressed. I have put 250 miles on the truck in the past 2 days,...

Kudos Chris, I thought that things were mighty quiet from your way. I should have known that you were up to something big. I once got 95 miles on a new set of...
Very excited...I only hope this will cause other news agencies to take the story. The news anchor and camera man were VERY pleased! I love the my 2000 Ranger...
Hi, I would be willing to come help with peoples packs. The 130ah conversion is much more difficult, since all the batteries will not fit into the stock...
Does anybody know what voltage the BCM provides to power the 12 battery heaters that are glued to the sides of the batteries? It looks to me like there are 12...
Hi Joe, I believe the heaters run off of pack voltage. You might want to look at the schematics to confirm. I have a set of heaters from my batteries, if you...
