If someone wants to really extend their capacity CALB has a 180AH cell. For about the next week I could help with the shipping expenses depending on the number of cells.

 

Contact me off list for more information

Thanks for the bearing info, Barry!  I am slowly resolving the many noises from my front mower deck, and the rollers (especially the oak front roller) have turned out to be the source of the banging noises.  My yard's about as flat as the surface of the ocean during a hurricane.

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.
