Clutch recall rebate question

[olliechristopher26]

Battery experts, The H2 does not have an alternator let alone a smart one. So does the Li batteries BMS set the charge rate? Is there enough output from the stock setup? How will it charge in the freezing weather? Will it have to be inside during extreme cold? It does not look like there is much room to install a larger Odyssey like I did on my Canned Ham. Getting more power out of the same size package would be cool. But I have not had luck on Li as a starting/winching battery. Everything else they are pretty sweet.

Lithium is not a good choice for anything that has a CAN bus. The controller does all kinds of funny stuff such as communication issues and can fry electronics from lithium voltage spikes (when using winch or switching on off lights). It is definitely a no go for winching and other high draw electrical. Relying on the BMS can get you in trouble when the battery shuts off due to high drain items such as winches, lights etc.

Over marketing is the real blame here. Right tool for the right job.

Does anyone know the size of the stator on the H2?

I put a Full Throttle battery in both my X3s. Those batteries were good to me.

Forums said the KRX was 340 watts at 14.4 volts. I imagine it’s probably the same. The X3 suffered from the same problem, not enough to run a bunch of electronics unless you had storage. I ran the PC1200 Odyssey and it had just enough extra capacity to get through a weekend. But when I got home the battery would need to be topped off with a full sized AGM charger. Kawi obviously knows it’s not enough because day one they offered the extra battery kit. Batteries Plus says the PC1200 fits in the H2 and UTV Stereo makes a second battery kit that actually has a 1200 sized battery included in the kit for the same price as the factory one.

1 battery is plenty for a stock machine. It’s when you start adding high draw accessories such as stereo, lights and a winch that a second battery is a good choice.

I would assume the H2 has a bigger stator than the KRX as they are different motors. This is the only thing I can find about the stator

Finally getting my H2 back from the dealer on Friday. Took it in for the clutch recall and some other warranty work I was holding off on. They had to replace my wiring harness due to it being damaged when a belt blew. It broke a connector and Kawi wanted to replace the whole thing.

Kawi is also reimbursing me for the belts that blew and the clutch housing that broke.

Ended up getting the Kawi lightbar as part of the $1,000 part/accessory voucher.
