Charging an electric utv


Recommended Posts

Does the charging outlet at the house have to be 20 amps ? I have a regular 15 amp outlet witch is outdoor rated and grounded (GFI) 3 prong plug. I see they call for a 20 amp extension cord no longer than 25 feet. . But these rated at 20 amp all have the "tee' plug where one prong is horizontal. Of course thay are meant for 20 amp outlets. On my 15 amp outlet, I can only use the 3 prong plug and the heaviest duty  they go up to is 15 amp rated or 14 gauge. So I have a 25 foot 15 amp rated extension cord charging my Hisun Sector e... Is that OK ? The cord doesnt feel hot or anything. Is this a fire hazard? Will it hurt the utv ?  Thanks, Bill

      Hey all. I need to change my plug in my ut400 and I remember seeing people in here saying to get a certain one that was better than what it came with. What was it?
      Also I need to do an oil change. Are the tractor supply oil change kits ok to use?
       
      Any help here is appreciated!

      I have a 2022 Coleman 400 utv. I have added a heater with a 3 speed fan. I notice that while running with nothing on, the battery voltage gets to about 13,7 volts when funning at speed. If I turn on the lights, the voltage drops to about 12.3,if I turn on the heater fan with the lights on, the battery light will come on. I have replaced the battery with a higher capacity one and have replaced the regulator/rectifier, both have made no difference. I have measured the ac voltage at 22 vac at idle across all 3 phases, so the stator is charging. I have never had any issues with not starting or running poorly due to low voltage. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to increase the voltage from the regulator or is this just a underachieving system?
