Thanks for the info! Good to know about the lower heat generated during discharge... -
Not my machine T boss 800 Massimo, < 300 hours will not shift at transmission, cable from selector knob is okay, cannot get it to shift at the transmission. Is there a safety one of the safeties I'm not holding in, I've tried the brake is something weird going on or is it Transmission problems. -
Hisuns seem to be a noisy machine. At least my SxS is, as there are zero sound deadening mats anywhere. Every flat surface serves to transmit engine roar and vibration. Their engines seem to have heavy vibration and that transfers into the frame and then body components. On my 550 UTV, the engine half sticks out behind the cab, and it is difficult to mitigate noise entering the cab. Just a thought here, this won't help with external noise, but you might consider sound deadening under the cab. Kilmat is one brand of self adhesive sound deadener that might help somewhat with noise inside the cab. -
Should generally be fine, although I'm guessing you saw that the minimum operating temperature is -4F. I've found that the batteries don't heat up during discharge as much as you might think, which is normally a good thing unless you're at -10F! Guessing that isn't the norm though, so maybe you could get away with just plowing a little later in the day when it's really cold. If you really wanted to be safe, you could get a simple heating mat run off the 12V side and put that on top, but I wouldn't worry about that until you come across those conditions (snowing and extreme cold at the same time). I also see that the max continuous output is 80A. Pushing a plow can be heavy work, so definitely want at least the four batteries you're planning. Max output of the UTV motor is 400A. Others on this thread have been fine with lower total outputs of their batteries, probably because the times they need the highest output fit within the time-limited specs (e.g. XXXA for 30sec.), but if you can afford it, more is better. I used four because my batteries have a 100A continuous output rating, but they were also quite expensive at the time (pretty much the only viable GC2 option back then really). Even then I would have put in more if they had been cheaper since that also increases the total capacity. I've still never gone below 70%, but again, more is better! My opinion, for what it's worth, is get at least five, especially for the price those batteries are right now. -
I'm planning to get the LiTime batteries which have the temperature protection (https://www.litime.com/products/48v-30ah-lithium-golf-cart-battery-gc2?variant=45688298569948). It's not a heater, just a charge/discharge safety cutoff. Just want to avoid a dead atv in the middle of my driveway with a mound of snow in front of it! I'm not even close to N Canada, but at times it can get down to -10f or so.
