Hello all,

I just recently added a dual port USB charger outlet to my Hisun HS400 and thought others might be interested in same:

Got it from Amazon for $13.49. The HS400 has a couple of plugged holes in the dash, left over from prior versions that had the ignition and lighting switches in the dash (these are on the steering column on my 2020 model). The adapter mounts in a 28.5 mm hole so I hogged out the obsolete lighting switch hole (25 mm) with a Dremel tool fitted with a 1/2" sanding drum. I wired it to a permanent power source as it draws very little power (< 5 μA) when not in use--at 5 μAit would take 1.6 million hours (182 years) to drain the battery down to 10 V . It has it's own power switch.

The unit delivered 4.55 V @ 3.0 A with the engine off (12.6 V input) which meets USB specs. The voltmeter displays the system voltage with surprising accuracy-- that's a good value to monitor to reveal battery and/or charging system problems. 

I like it...

the embossed legend is an artifact of the old lighting switch being here

I was going to do the same thing to mine but found an item on ebay that does the job much easier and cheaper. The item I found plugs into a 12v outlet and has 2 USB ports and also shows voltage . Works great and easy install. I think that it was @  $8.00.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Hisun Sector 450 (2021) - help diagnose rear diff issue (short video included)
      By camojay
      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

      Axis 500 4x4 turns over but no spark
      By D MAYNARD
      I have an Axis 500 4x4 UTV that I was given.  It looks like an almost new machine with 39 hrs on it however it was apparently under water from the hurricane . I have no spark at the plug. I have replaced the plug, the plug wire, & the stator so far. Can anyone advise me of what i need to check and or replace to get this thing running? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. 
                                    Thank You,
                                  D Maynard
