I have a 2014 Ranger EV. Use it for occasional light leisure travel on dirt road and pasture. Since owning I have put in 2 battery sets at $1500+ each time, one charger unit ($900) and later discovered it was a factory recall, but I was never informed, and a complete new wiring harness. So, needless to say I have not been a satisfied owner at all. I was ready to junk it. Well in Jan 2021 Tommy at Smart Wheels in Marble Falls, TX suggested I install a new RoyPow 160ah Lithium Ion battery and I am very happy thus far. I writing this because I want to share with others that have had the frustration of the Ranger EV w/ lead acid batteries. Up to this point my Ranger has been a huge disappointment.
And to be perfectly clear on the RoyPow, it is still early in this new setup, but so far my performance and battery life is 100% improved. Smart Wheels Golf Carts did the new battery installation under the seat - it looks great and is well secured. For sure I need more time to give a full review, but If you’re looking at lithium batteries it’s an option to consider.
