Unfortunately the Ford Ranger does not belong to me, it belongs to a neighbor who also has and EGT-200. I have ordered 12 CALB 100Ah cells for my EGT-200, they should be here 7/19/2013. They are being supplied by Don Blazer. Two of the 12 are being supplied by my neighbor with the Electric Ford Ranger. I now have to figure out how to handle the 12v tap for my winch, lights, and the tap for the front lift. I cannot tap my Lithium pack, it would cause it to become unbalanced. I am thinking of adding a 12v AGM battery, (I have several laying around), with a DC-DC converter to keep it charged. I just made a modification to my mower deck rollers to stop the center holes from wearing out and stop the axle wear. I installed sealed bearings in the end of each roller. The bearings are 499502H Sealed Wheel Bearings size 5/8" ID x 1-3/8"OD from floorsrubberparts on EBay for $15.00. I have attached three pictures.
