The battery measures 12.8 inches long by 12.01 inches wide by 10.42 inches tall and installs using the included mounting bracket. It fits the Ranger EV battery compartment in place of the eight original lead-acid batteries. Installation takes most owners two to three hours with basic hand tools, and all hardware and instructions are included. Some owners of newer models (most commonly the 2022) report a charge-interlock step see the question below on the maintenance-wrench warning.

This is a charge interlock reported by some owners of newer Ranger EV models, most commonly the 2022 the final lead-acid model year. The vehicle checks for its factory DeltaQ charger and will not power up if that check fails. The fix reported by 2022 owners: keep the factory charger connected to satisfy the interlock, reconnect the connector plugs on the side opposite the AC-plug side, and use the included Bolt charger to charge the battery. The buggy then runs normally. Advanced installers who want the factory charger removed can instead bridge the two ground pins in the charger's molex connector. Many owners never encounter this step at all if the buggy powers up and drives after the swap, no action is needed. Full steps are in the Installation and Charger Setup tab.

The kit includes an AC charge port and the proper charging extension cord, so you do not run exposed wire under the vehicle. The common approach is to mount the AC port on the dash on the passenger side using a 2-1/16 inch hole saw, then charge from that port. The connection stays clean, protected from trail debris, and easy to reach from the front. Everything needed for this is in the box.

Yes. The included Bolt charger also acts as a maintenance charger, and Bolt recommends leaving it plugged in when the vehicle is parked. This keeps the battery topped and keeps the state-of-charge reading accurate the SOC can drift if the vehicle sits for long stretches without being connected. Leaving it plugged in also means the buggy is ready whenever you need it. Unlike lead-acid, lithium does not gas or require ventilation, so it is safe to leave on the charger.

You do not need to reprogram anything. The Ranger EV's factory Delta-Q QuiQ charger is set to a lead-acid profile, and converting it to a lithium algorithm normally requires Polaris's CANbus adapter plus a QuiQ programmer kit, or shipping the charger to a Delta-Q service center. This kit avoids all of that by including a dedicated Bolt lithium charger matched to the battery you charge with the included charger.

If your Ranger triggers the charge interlock (most commonly reported on the 2022), keep the factory Delta-Q physically connected to satisfy it and charge with the included Bolt charger. Many models need no interlock step at all. Either way, you never reprogram the Delta-Q.

Lithium holds its voltage steady through the discharge cycle, so the Ranger pulls the same climbing a hill at 30 percent charge as it does at 90 percent there is no gradual weakening the way a lead-acid bank fades as it drains. Removing roughly 500 pounds of lead also improves how the vehicle accelerates and handles. Owners commonly report stronger, more consistent response than a tired lead-acid setup. Top speed itself is set by the vehicle's controller rather than the battery, but the power delivery under load is noticeably more consistent.

For flat to moderate terrain property work, hunting access, light towing, two passengers with cargo a single 105Ah unit handles normal Ranger EV operation. Owners typically see 130 to 200 amps of draw under load, well within the 250-amp continuous BMS rating.

For sustained heavy towing on steep grades, deep mud, loaded hauling, or if you need 50-plus miles of range, choose the 210Ah dual configuration. The Ranger EV motor can approach 400 to 500 amps at full throttle under maximum load, which pushes past what a single 105Ah BMS sustains long term. Two units in parallel raise combined continuous output to about 500 amps and double capacity to 210Ah, matching the vehicle's full demand. See the 105Ah vs 210Ah tab for a full comparison.

Yes. If you already have the Professional Kit installed, you only need to add the second battery unit and parallel cables not a second full kit. The charger, solenoid, voltage reducer, and accessories from your first kit carry over. For parallel operation, use batteries of the same age, charge state, and condition so they share the load evenly. Contact us when ordering the second unit and we will confirm exactly what you need.

The standard version charges safely between 34°F and 140°F. If your Ranger EV stores and charges somewhere that regularly drops below 34°F an unheated barn, an outdoor shed, or a cold-region garage choose the heated version. Charging lithium below freezing causes permanent capacity loss, and the heated version prevents that by warming the cells before charging begins. The heater runs only while charging and does not affect driving performance or range. If the vehicle charges in a heated space or a mild climate, the standard version is all you need.

The Ranger EV draws more current than a typical golf cart, so continuous output rating matters. Bolt Energy's BMS is rated for 250 amps continuous and 520 amps peak among the highest in the category so it keeps delivering under load instead of shutting down the way lower-spec batteries can. Beyond the power rating: automotive Grade-A prismatic LiFePO4 cells, a sealed IP66 powder-coated steel case that handles heat and field conditions, one of the most complete install kits available, Bluetooth and dash monitoring with CAN diagnostics, and a 12-year US-based warranty. It is not the cheapest option, but it is built for a working vehicle.

The single 105Ah unit delivers an estimated 30 to 50 miles per charge; the 210Ah dual setup delivers an estimated 80 to 100 miles. These are estimates under favorable conditions flat terrain, a single occupant, moderate speed, and mild temperature. Actual range varies with terrain, load, speed, temperature, and driving style. Hills, towing, cold weather, and heavy cargo all reduce range.

Removing 500 to 600 pounds of lead-acid batteries reduces front-end weight significantly, which can make the front suspension feel stiffer and sit higher. For most light to moderate use this is not an issue. If you regularly carry heavy cargo or run rough terrain, the Ranger EV's adjustable suspension preload can compensate, and the 210Ah dual configuration restores some of the weight distribution compared to a single unit.

The kit includes two monitoring options. The dash SOC meter shows state of charge at a glance without a phone. The included Bluetooth receiver pairs with a smartphone and adds voltage and real-time status. A CAN port is also available for diagnostic testing by a technician if needed.

The enclosure is built to the IP66 standard rated for complete dust protection and protection against high-pressure water jets from any direction. That makes it appropriate for rain, stream crossings, and mud spray that would corrode an open lead-acid battery over time. The powder-coated steel case also resists impact and abrasion better than a plastic housing.
