Sector E1 electric Battery overheat

Our new Sector E1 electric has 45 miles on the odo.  It frequently goes into shutdown mode after a few minutes of putzing around the farm. Instrument panel gives a flashing message “45C”. I presume that this means the batteries are overheated. The temperature indicator is maxxed. No stunt driving involved, just the grandkids bumping along in low range across the pasture. Of course, the owners manual does not reference this condition. We park it for a while and it returns to normal; at least until the next overheat. Has anyone else been bothered by this?

I have the same thing happen on my hisun electric. The code is 45C 3 for “low battery cut”. Has anyone found out why this might be happening? Could it have anything to do with something getting wet? We just putz around our farm as well and it seems to happen way too quick and often.

Thanks. I’ve been trying but COVID has destroyed his two man service shop. I have spoken to HiSun and they won’t release any specs so my electrical engineer son can try to run the problem down. We are pretty well stuck, literally, when the dreaded error code pops up on the panel.

Hisun still keeps them close to the vest. GORJ posted a diagram above. It helped me a bit in troubleshooting. It did not reveal the problem. My issue was a failed battery pack that the onboard software did not detect. After a friendly call from my legal department, Hisun looked closer at the problem. Mr Sun sent in his troubleshooter, Jamie Cheek ( 214 542-3760) who fired several “engineers” at the Texas plant ( hard to believe the emails those guys sent to me and my dealer), and sent my dealer a fresh battery pack and software update. The machine has been flawless since. It was a five month ordeal.

Ours is a 2019 model, but discovered to have been built in 2017. So the battery pack might have been dead before it got sold. The software upgrade was not specced, but we notice several subtle differences in the panel interface. All are big improvements. I hope your issues are resolved quickly. It really is a capable machine.

I know this is an old thread now, but we have a new 2022 Sector E1 with these same problems. Our dealer is helping with a case with Hisun, but wanted to post here to let folks know that it might still occur. We live in a hilly community in NC, and the big hills slow it down and throw the 45C3 and then 4603 errors, and the unit overheats and stops. After cooling a bit, we can go a few hundred yards or so before it overheats again, and we repeat a few times to get home. Frustrating for sure. Hopefully our dealer and Hisun will come through and get things going better.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Hisun E1 Lithium Replacement Batteries (Australia) & Regen output in amps....
      By BuggyBoy
      So these Giant 48v/110ah batteries have just become available: https://www.aussiebatteries.com.au/giant-100ah-48v-lithium-golf-cart-deep-cycle-battery
      They look like they could drop in either side of the Controller that sits in the middle of the tray as they are 330mm(W) 355(L) 295mm(H). They can be paralleled, and I think two should be enough. Technically once paralleled the system should output 400ah continuous and 800ah Max (5 secs), more than enough for the E1 - probably 1/3rd more than is needed.
      However, the sales person stated that if the regen braking exceeded 400amps, it would put the batteries in standby mode for protection and they would have to be 're-started' with a jumper pack to reset them. Does anybody know the max output of the E1 Regen system, and if it does exceed that, is it possible to disable/bypass the regen so it has a zero output?
      Thanks.

      Sector E1 no longer charges batteries
      By Gorj
      Yesterday my Hisun Sector E1 stopped charging when plugged in. Anyone one have an idea of where to look for a problem?

      2017 Hisun Sector 450
      By Justin Felker
      Had some issues where I was losing power on my Hisun.  Got it back to my shop and it wouldn't start.  Drained the fuel, replaced the plug, injector and TPS, cleaned the air filter.  It will start without the air intake attached to the engine but once I put it back on, it will die.  Any ideas on what else I need to do?
