Boosted boards - how to connect extra batteries

Quick tutorial on how to connect additional batteries to the Boosted Boards pack which will result in 20 miles range.

[@snwboardr9876]

Love watching all your Boosted videos Vitalie! I'm glad someone out there is pioneering detachable batteries since Boosted won't give them to us. This whole time I've held off on doing this because I had no idea how you tapped into the wires. Thanks for this video!!

[@PrinceIsa]

Oh! You wasn't lying! You have a few videos about this indeed!

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Yes I made bunch of them to extend range

[@PrinceIsa]

@@ElectricVehicleSpace I'm going to try getting back into my PayPal account.

[@kamdensgameplay3170]

@@ElectricVehicleSpace can you make these for the boosted mini x 🤔

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

@@kamdensgameplay3170 yes but you have to mount it on top of the deck.

[@solorider-gq2pl]

Hey bro. Great video.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

thank you!

[@davidlazarof5717]

surprised at the low view and subscriber count, this is the future of coolness.....maybe people will wake up... Nice work, keep posting. I looked into all of the available boards, and the boosted was the best by far. Peace.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

yes indeed.

[@emoraes]

I see a business opportunity here, TAKE MY MONEY :) thinking about doing this after my warranty expired , thank you for the video, great great great great great :)

[@johnmason5038]

Hey bro I'm trying to this this exactly on a stealth... mine just looks a bit different...I could use some advice...

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

same exact process with 12S

[@Axiomaticsquared]

would you be able to make a kit type of things with everything you used in this video like battery pack and wiring if so what would you charge for that

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

[@darrenmalone9602]

Hi V, Can this be done with WOWGO 2s battery arrangement?...currently a 5🤥😡😣range....Thank you.

[@CrazyCraig0516]

can you please explain all of the technical specs of your batteries for someone who is clueless. I definitely don't have the knowhow to build my own batteries and also don't know what specs to look for when buying batteries. As far as voltage.... mAh ratings.... discharge... What do these need to be to not damage my boosted board battery? I am assuming that the voltage is the main spec that could be damaging? Help please

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Watch all of the videos I posted on my channel. All info is out there and it is explained.

[@TheArtOfCool]

What is the original battery pack is completely dead? Can I just add on an external pack ?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

if you know what you are doing than yes

[@Armenian]

great! I might have to do this modification after my warranty expires. I wonder how difficult it would be to gain access to the actual positive and negative pads instead of soldering directly to the wire itself. Any reason why you didn't use something like an XT90 connector instead of bullets?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

I like the 6mm connectors.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

the warranty will not be affected by this mod. One of the guys that bought the cells returned the board to boosted and they fixed the motor mount.

[@Quadtheory]

+Portable Electric Vehicle No way?? Thank you for the info! :D But it could probably be because there is no way the mod is going to affect the motor mounts. If one of the motors died then they would probably not honor the warranty. Quick question tho. When making the battery pack, do all the negatives face one direction and the positives face one direction or is it like + - + - + - + - + -?

[@tonyt3472]

Bro! Genius! Are you still building these packs? Would love to pick up a few 😁

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

PM me

[@tonyt3472]

Portable Electric Vehicle sent you an email! TY!!

[@7arsenal]

Has this worked long term?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

yes

[@Zues_1401]

Im gonna send you an email about.y board I'm wanting to do this to. I got the stuff to connect the wires but to make the batteries I'd like to know how you did it and the right way

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

received

[@rosaritorob2217]

Can you let me know how much a set of these with the connector cables would be? Ive got to get a set of these. Thanks for the vids as well.

[@estebanrios9939]

I can make you a few for $75 each

[@MILLERS066]

What kind of cells did you use for this

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

A123

[@march11stoneytony]

Any issues with if one battery dies before the other?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Nop

[@TheArtOfCool]

What wattage 18650 batteries should I get?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

boosted V1 uses A123 cells V2 and V3 18650.

[@ttocszneb5177]

i wonder if the board has hit a bump and lit on fire, since the making of this video.

[@mrzoro6121]

Hey bro how to program 2 battery same voltage and AH i have 1 orignal battery and 1 extra battery i am use fsesc4.20 50a dual controller the orignal battery have 36v/10s/12.400AH and extra 36v/10s/12.8AH

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

dont understand your question. You just threw numbers here.

[@mrzoro6121]

I have tow battery First battery 36v 10s 12.4AH Extra battery 36v 10s 12.8AH Did I can connected together And how to program vese when have tow battery

[@natebolo4079]

This would work on most eboards?

[@haplain]

Good stuff... any chance you could provide a link to a quicker charger you mention in this?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

its posted in one of my videos. I don't remember which one.

[@ag3n7416]

Nice job. Wonder if I get a couple of zippy batteries and connected them like you did, would it work?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

as loong as the voltage and capacity is right.

[@skewburst1622]

Would this work with a diy skateboard? (Any board)

[@jamesnelson6884]

Damm, will those extra batteries actually make your board have a range of 20 miles? If sooo, SWEET! But this looks very complicated and 1 little mistake could cost you $1500. I might try it after my 6 month warranty is out.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

follow the steps as I show in the video and u will be good.

[@theslimzable]

What is the name of the tool to take off the controller cover?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

security torques

[@bkeithmontgomery]

Hi!! Can you please share the link for the extra battery packs, rubber bands, and faster charger? Thank you!!!

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

i dont get what u want? there is no link for the packs. i made them.

[@st3althyst0rm]

Say I had a board that I wanted to keep in warranty, but still have extra battery power when I'm not near an outlet. Is there anything keeping me from soldering up an adapter going from the battery pack and ending in the board's charger connection?(I'd use the same type battery pack as you, and similar connections). That way once I get to where I need to go, I can plug the undermounted batteries in and charge up while still carrying the board. That way the actual board itself has no modifications in case it breaks under warranty.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

not sure what you mean...the way i added the cells you can charge through the boards charger. Even if you add the additional packs you won't loose the warranty.

[@st3althyst0rm]

+Portable Electric Vehicle Oh okay, I didn't know this didn't void the warranty. If i'm going to be using 18650 cells, what's the most/least cells I can use in a battery pack? Or does it not matter?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+Dalomo watch all videos. All info is there.

[@SutraWasTaken]

Hi! Where did you buy your packs with balance connectors on the opposite side? Any particular brand? Also, What is it you are attaching the battery packs with? I have never seen that before. Can you detach and reattach batteries to that or is it for one-time use/attachment?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+ozZziiiii No one sells them so i made mine. The 3M tape can be detached 1000 times. check my videos. it tells u where to buy it.

[@SutraWasTaken]

How do you package the batteries after assembly? Is that some sort of shrinkwrap?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

yes you can. I build those packs.

[@davidstravels8019]

what screwdriver is he using to unscrew the casing?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

safety torques

[@BenBeyond2003]

Don't charge it via the boosted board charger because it's not balanced

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

I have charged over 2 years now with booted charger and all is good. You just have to check with the cell log 8M to see if any of the cells drifted. I also have other people that I made packs for riding daily for over 2 years and charging with boosted charger with no problems.

[@coreybryan3668]

I agee that ist not a great idea but maybe the power draw is so low in this scenario that the effects of not balancing are greatly diminished

[@Nicholasvlogz]

Would you make something for me that will work with the new boards ? Please

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

PM me.

[@romarioarango3949]

Whats that tool called the one that melts the metal?

[@Mr.Fox27]

Romario Arango buy any soldering kit

[@coopsacoop]

Do the battery packs get hot? Curious if I could run a longer wire up to a backpack rather than strapping the packs on the bottom of the board.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

never get hot but the wires cannot be longer than 7 - 10 inches.

[@coopsacoop]

Perfect, since I only ever ride my board lying down. I'm kidding, but why can't the wires be longer? Too much resistance (I know little about this type of thing)?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+coopsacoop not just resistance, variance of currents that will affect the electronics. you can calculate and place capacitors but in long run it will affect the electronics and the battery.

[@coopsacoop]

Interesting. Thanks for answering my questions. I enjoy your videos!

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+coopsacoop my pleasure. i super busy with work...but i will try to post this weekend some more boosted updates. cheers.

[@jdm3461]

How do I charge regular charger?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

I will post a video this weekend on how to do it.

[@joop1987]

So the boosted board BMS verifies each cell is not over or under charged. Your extra packs do not have a BMS (balance plugs are not plugged in anywhere). If you charge your extra batteries through the stock charger you can over charge a cell. Saying the boosted board's BMS takes care of your extra batteries is not true.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

well it is. I checked all cells and they are perfectly balanced.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+Chris yes, each cell is not connected but the board shuts down at 3.2V and stops charging at 40.5V.

[@JRPW]

+Chris I think he uses a separate balance charger to charge the extra batteries cause u are right about what U are saying.

[@joop1987]

+J Wightman he clearly states he uses the boosted charger.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+J Wightman if each cells is the same res. etc. than the current flows equally through the cells. boosted bms shuts down the power when the voltage reaches 40.5V.

[@kevinzhong950]

Would you be willing to do it for someone if they payed you? Im really interested in adding batteries, but I'm afraid il mess it up and destroy the whole board

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+Kevin Zhong we can do it....pm me.

[@Noname12095]

+Portable Electric Vehicle so how much you charge to install extra battery

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Pm me and we can talk about it.

[@jamesnelson6884]

+Portable Electric Vehicle I may be interested in this too....I'll likely PM you in a month or two when the warranty is out.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

np...

[@krazi311]

Where can I buy these pieces and battery pack pre made??

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+B D I could not find them so I built my own.

[@krazi311]

+Portable Electric Vehicle do you have a link on how to make battery packs?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

+B D there are plenty of YT videos on how to make battery packs.

[@estebanrios9939]

Is this possible on stealth?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Yes but Dif packs with higher voltage.

[@rjnewscom]

Will this work for the stealth?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

yes

[@rjnewscom]

You are a Mad Genius

[@nando5one0]

I need those packs lol

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Send me an email...i can hook u up.
