The Eco Battery GEN3 51.2V Lithium Conversion Kit is a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery replacement for the Polaris Ranger EV. The nominal voltage is 51.2V, fully compatible with the Polaris Ranger EV 48V system. It is available in two capacities: 105Ah (Kit B-3171) and 150Ah (Kit B-3180). Each kit replaces the factory lead-acid battery pack all eight 12V batteries with a single lithium unit, along with a compatible CAN charger, LCD state-of-charge meter, charge port, vehicle-specific mounting hardware, and a remote wake-up button. Eco Battery is manufactured by ECO Capital and is headquartered in Saint George, Utah.
Why the Polaris Ranger EV Requires a High-Discharge Battery
The Polaris Ranger EV is powered by a 30-horsepower, 48V three-phase AC motor. This motor requires a minimum of 200A continuous discharge to operate under normal driving conditions, and up to 400A peak discharge during acceleration, hill climbs, and towing. A battery with a BMS rated below these thresholds will trigger a protective shutdown under load a common issue when standard golf-cart batteries, which are typically rated at 175A continuous or lower, are used in the Ranger EV.
The Eco Battery GEN3 BMS is rated at 250A continuous discharge, 550A for 10 seconds, and 600A for 5 seconds confirmed in official data sheets 051105-03 and 051150-06. These ratings apply to both the 105Ah and 150Ah models.
Which Capacity Is Right for Your Ranger EV?
Kit B-3171 | 105Ah Skinny
Energy: 5,376Wh | Range: Up to 45 miles* | Weight: 113 lbsRecommended for: Weekend hunting, light farm work, properties under 15 miles daily.Discharge temperature: Down to -20F.
Kit B-3180 | 150Ah
Energy: 7,680Wh | Range: Up to 65 miles* | Weight: 165 lbsRecommended for: Daily farm and ranch use, regular towing and hauling, high-mileage routes.Discharge temperature: Down to -4F.
*Range estimates are under ideal conditions: flat terrain, single occupant, 12-15 mph, fully charged, 70F. Actual range varies based on terrain, payload, speed, temperature, and driving habits.
Vehicle Compatibility
Compatible vehicles: Polaris Ranger EV (lead-acid, 2010-2021) and Polaris Ranger EV Li-Ion (2016-2021), including Mid-Size and 2-Seat variants. The included Polaris Ranger EV-specific mounting kit (A-8172) fits all compatible model years without modification. The Sevcon motor controller does not require reprogramming.
What Changes After Switching from Lead-Acid to Lithium
No maintenance: LiFePO4 batteries do not require water refilling, produce no acid fumes, and do not corrode terminals. The factory lead-acid pack requires monthly water level checks to avoid cell damage.
Weight reduction: The factory lead-acid pack weighs approximately 650-700 lbs across eight batteries. The 105Ah lithium unit weighs 113 lbs. The 150Ah unit weighs 165 lbs.
Usable capacity: Lead-acid batteries are typically discharged to 50% depth to preserve cell life. LiFePO4 cells can be discharged to approximately 95% depth, delivering more usable energy from the same rated capacity.
Cycle life: LiFePO4 cells are rated for 2,000-3,000 charge cycles at 80% depth of discharge, compared to approximately 300-500 cycles for flooded lead-acid batteries.
Partial charging: LiFePO4 chemistry has no memory effect. The battery can be charged to any level at any time without affecting long-term capacity.
Cold weather charging protection: The GEN3 BMS automatically disables charging when battery temperature drops below 32F to prevent cell damage. Built into both models.
Silent operation: No lead-acid equalization cycle noise. Relevant for hunting, livestock environments, and noise-sensitive use.

FAQs
Does the kit work with the factory Sevcon controller? Do I need to reprogram anything?
The Sevcon motor controller does not require reprogramming. The Eco Battery GEN3 is compatible with both the lead-acid and Li-Ion factory Sevcon controller variants out of the box.
The kit includes its own A-1055 38V-51V 15A CAN charger, which replaces the factory Delta Q QuiQ charger. No reprogramming is required the A-1055 is plug-and-play with the GEN3 battery.
If your charger is CAN-enabled: connect the CAN cable from the charger to one of the two CAN ports on the meter cable. The battery must be powered on indicated by the illuminated power button to accept a charge.
