Anyone paid the $$$ for this conversion?

I can replace all of my 8 batteries for about $2K, or for about $3800 upgrade to lithium.

Thanks! I'm looking at the website. I think I need to call them and talk it through.

Replacing 8 lead acid batteries would equate to the 1-battery bundle or 2, for instance?

I've never seen the batteries in a Ranger EV but are they 8 volt golf cart batteries or 12 volt deep cycle?

This. It's a 48V system.

I switched my 36v golf cart to lithium last year, no regrets, also lost about 200 lb of weight so cart runs better and longer

Sell it. Polaris Evs (non kinetic) are time bombs with a shelf life.

Electronics failure.

I've yet to see one make it over 5 years.

The new kinetics are built to a much higher standard.

I wouldn't use them for heavy hunting camp lifestyle. But, my neighbor's is a 2013 and mine is a 2014 and still going. We both use it for light farm work. Basically a glorified golf cart with a bed in the back.

I just need battery replacement, but to your point I don't want to invest a lot in a frame and chassis and motor that are a decade old.

I'm thinking for our workload either the 1-bundle battery (27Ah) or 2-bundle (54Ah) from lithiumhub would suffice.
