By HISUN Sector 750 EPS Failu
It looks bad, but the HISUN (Axis) 500 at work has had "regular" oil in it for 900 hours now. I discovered it when I googled what my Sector 750 uses, it being about time for the first oil change. This is the only side by side that the mechanic at work takes care of, and he's the type of person who knows it all. He would never check an owners manual or search something online.
The problem with someone who knows it all is all you get is what he knows.
Being on a first-name basis with the HISUN Tech Team, I've asked them what the consequences might be. I'm concerned that the clutch may be permanently damaged.
Anyone had this experience?

Wanted to do this for a while and finally did it. I did the conversion of my Sector E1 (mine is Axis branded, but same as Hisun) over to lithium two years ago and have been very pleased with the night and day improvement in performance.
With the big battery bank, I always thought I could use that battery resource to power plug-in tools when I'm too far away from the house. I finally bought a 48V DC to 120V AC inverter (2500W capacity) and installed it. I ran wire directly from the 48V batteries down through the axle tunnel to the shallow "hood" storage area in the front. I loosely covered the open areas to prevent splashes from underneath, but left the drain paths clear, and added a little foam tape to the edges of the access panel to help steer any water to the drain holes that might come in through the top. I had to position it to make sure it fit under the panel, and had to add a spacer in one spot because of the depression in the space under the front left of the picture. Turned it on, and it all works perfectly! I ran my electric hedge trimmer to clear some bushes as a test with no problems. The 2500W should allow it to handle anything I would normally run off a standard 15A outlet in my home, including other power tools. It felt pretty neat to park in the middle of nowhere and just plug my equipment in and start working. For my 6 acres the capacity from the batteries should be just fine. I could always add more if I really wanted to, but I've never gone below 75% anyway even after a bunch of runs with firewood, so I think it will be just fine.
For those who are curious, the Sector E1 could definitely accommodate an even larger AC inverter and I briefly considered a 6000W one, but a) they are correspondingly more expensive and I don't think I'll need to run more than a couple items at a time, and b) higher power inverters are also bigger, and I don't think the front space will work with anything much larger without significant modification. That said, if you really needed to run a bigger load, I'm sure you could come up with a way to mount it (modify the front space or add a waterproof enclosure in some of the empty battery spaces left by going from 8 Discover batteries down to 4 LiFePO4 batteries.)

When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
Other info that may be useful:
1400 miles on it
Recently tightened the E brake
P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work
