Can’t speak for others but the Allion batts were straight swap, everything worked. Had to make a couple of longer leads, and since changed DeltaQ to Lithium profile, but essentially a drop-in system. About three hours all up. Amazing performance now and getting 400a draw on dash meter when up very steep hill with four people in, so finally using the systems full potential. Very happy.

It's gotten simpler since that first post now that GC2 form factor batteries are available. But to your comment, this is a one-time thing and is frankly because HiSun went with older technology batteries when it came out. Now to "fill up" I just plug in to an outlet at the end of the day. No going to the station to fill up cans of gas, no fumes, no noise, no oil changes, no maintenance issues with all the additional little parts that keep a combustion engine going and tuned up, no worry that my UTV sat too long between uses and might not start or the gas needs stabilizer. I can even run electric loads like the light bars I installed without leaving an engine running and worrying about the little 12v battery. I've even considered adding a 2000W 48v dc to ac inverter to run power tools.

Well i took the dive and got x4 Allion GC2's. Very easy installation - virtually a battery swap as they are the same size. Only thing i had to do was make a couple of new cables, but that was easy enough. As someone else earlier in the thread said - night and day from the Discover batteries. So much weight removed the E1 site higher and the steering is now very easy. Max power is now available and it shoots up steep hills - something the Discover batteries never really did. Combo of weight removal and more power i think. All thats left is to update the Delta charger to a lithium profile, but so far, worth the $5k (Aus Dollars). If you are thinking of doing it, don't hesitate!
