After some minor painting, the battery replacement for the RAVolt went off with any issues. The alternate cells Trojan T1275 were a good fit without needed to change the terminal connector layouts.
I especially like the new lifting ears. We made some simple lifting straps so moving the cells was much easier than using the J150’s built in handles. I wish they were in the original design because I could have aligned the cells to make it easier to have tie downs.
I have not yet tested the range on the new cells - I expect to be back to my 30 mile range. Trust, but verify.

How many miles did the first pack last you?

By the way, my pack lasted 3 years, ~12000 miles average of 24 miles a day 5 days a week, charging every night. 16 miles a day on the freeway at 60Mph.

3 years & 3000 miles. That’s great! The heat killed mine.
