I bought a Coleman UTV400 a few months ago to use for plowing. I added an extra light and a heater. Is there a battery that will fit into the same location as the current battery that will hold more of a charge? The light and the heater are pulling an additional 10 to 14 amps. When I use the winch in addition to the light and the heater it keeps killing the battery. I'm okay with having to charge the battery after I finish plowing, I just want to be able to complete plowing my 300 foot long driveway without having to charge the battery to finish it.

From what I've found, they use a 12V30AH battery.  I've done some hot rod checking at Jegs.com and all of their batteries in this dimensional size, are not greater than 35AH.

My suggestion would be to just mount a second battery below in the larger opening below the current battery.  Hook them up in parallel, not series.  That is + to + and - to -.  This will double your AH rating, that is if you use the same size AH battery as the current one.  Just like diesel trucks running dual batteries, they're still just 12v, but pack tons more grunt in starting and electrical usage.  They will still charge as one battery just as before.

      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      Have a bed decal that has never been right.  Contacted Coleman Powersports and they have no solution.  Anyone know of a place where I could get a replacement decal or complete decal or graphics kit?

      I want to put a charger/maintainer for my Coleman UT400 for the winter and need to know if it uses a 6v or 12v battery.
      One search online showed a 6v, but another stated 12v..
      I can look at the battery, but after taking the seat out you cannot see the top of the battery without also removing the top plate under the seat and at 8 degrees outside, I'd rather not be out there too long.
      Can anyone verify what volt (6 or 12) the batter is?
      Thanks in advance ...
