Hisun Axis 500 purchased from Lowes battery drain


Terry B

Recommended Posts

We purchased this UTV less than 60 days ago and now I am having issues with drained battery. Used UTV for about an hour then stopped and when I went to start back up my battery was to low to start it. Jumped it and it started right up and ran fine back home. Tested charging and it’s not charging while running. Can it be anything other than the stater??? Can I look for something that I can fix Quik or does it have to go to the authorized service center to stay under warranty? It will take some time to get it in and out of service

I can't help with that problem, but, I've had the same machine since April.  Did my first oil change with a filter I ordered from the Motorcycle Doctor.  Worked great but figured there had to be one I could get locally.  Checked the other day and found water in my oil.  Drained it but didn't change the filter.  I cleared up quite a bit so I changed it again and did the filter also.  Found that a Purolator L14215 oil filter from Tractor Supply fits perfectly.  

I think the water is condensation  in  the motor from not letting it warm up enough.  The water bottle and radiator hasn't lost any fluid at all.  Too many short trips and not letting it get hot enough.

Good luck on your problem and don't forget to let us know what you find.  I've had mine attached to a battery tender junior since it got cold here.

Joe, do you have a volt meter?

What is the voltage on the battery with the machine off? How about with the engine running?

They do have a small parasitic draw just like almost every other vehicle, and the battery will drain over time. With any toy that isn't used frequently you should hook up a battery tender or small solar panel, or unhook the battery when not in use so it will work when you want it to.

I am having electrical problems with our 2022 AXIS 500 UTV. We have less than 500 miles all was well, then all of a sudden the 10 amp fuse that operates the directional lights, brake lights, ignition and taillights. I have replaced it once but only lasted a day. I'm wondering if anyone else had the same issue. The nearest service center is over 100 miles away.

The link above is the schematic for your UTV. You can see that on that 10 amp fuse you have brakes, lights, turn signals, winch, speed limit fuse, parking drive alarm. Any one of these could have a short to ground caused by either a bad device or a nick in a wire during assembly. I would start using an ohm meter on the fuse to ground with power off and then do some wiggling of wires until you get a low ohm short.

      Massimo 500 will only crank when I jump solenoid with screwdriver cranks right up and runs great. But won’t start with key doesn’t do anything when I turn the key. Only thing it does is power everything as in dash and fuel pump then have to jump solenoid to crank up and drive.

      Twice my hisun has been driven a few miles and turned off back at home. Get back on it same afternoon and console is dead, no lights. 
      Have 12.7 vdc at battery and fuses are good. I hear relays click in the fuse box and main relay clicks but everything is dead. 
      Any ideas on what this may be? I've seen this problem before on this forum but it never finished. 
      Any help is always appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Hello, I have a 2013 500 utv hisun. Was running ok and cut out while parked. Bike will not start now. It turns over, but won't fire. I have no spark and no fuel. I replaced fuel pump, ignition coil, spark plug, cdi, voltage rectifier and all the fuses and relays. Could bad stater cause no fuel because I can't hear the fuel pump priming. Any info on where to start looking for problem.

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      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!
