its pretty easy you dont even need to cut wires just similar molex connectors and make a new wire with male and female molex connector

I have a Kobalt mower battery just like that. Yeah I love my Vsett 10 and I get 70 miles range on two batteries here. I’m stoked. Nice work on the creation. Thumbs up

[@Hovitv]

These videos are so informative. Thank you for making these videos!! I just watched about 10videos from just watching this one. Can you please make more scooter videos please🙏🏽

[@PapiDoesIt]

Now you need a fold up solar panel to provide a trickle charge for the dead battery pack. Almost unlimited range!

[@vuaeco]

Great idea! Maybe a tow-behind solar panel? :D

[@Patiboke]

Careful with loose cables and belts close to the wheel. Other than that, interesting. Love your accent!

How you charge it ? You didn't say anything about charging?

[@lordameenquainoo4678]

Hi sir Pls I want to ask about the external battery mount. The max voltage of the controller does it correspond to the voltage of the motor or it doesn’t matter

[@JasonSmith-vp6vl]

This gave me an idea, I have four 2AH 80V batteries for our lawn equipment, I could make a box to wire them in parallel and put it on the bike rack on the back of the bike and make a e-bike with a 80v 8AH battery that I can unplug and still use for landscaping!

[@DonCarlos590]

Won't a bigger battery burnout the motor? It creates more rpm for the motor right. Does it over load the battery circuits?

[@AngelCervantes-lake]

Where do you get the connectors

[@chrisl6835]

Yes range is sooooooo important more then speed…. Really don’t need more then 40-50 mph anyway Well he needs to put dampers on the scooter and it also needs shocks and you’re good to go after that

[@joacogaray]

Have you thought about using a buck converter to increase voltage from 36v to 48v? I’ve seen one on Amazon for like 60bucks, rated 960w

[@vuaeco]

I have not done that mainly because it simply doesn't have enough power. For a 48V system, when you first accelerate from zero, the controller easily pull 25-30 Amps from the battery. That's about 1500 Watts. That buck converter will have a hard time keeping up with that.

[@scottkasprzak4042]

Hi Vuaeco, I love your channel and your videos are cool too. I have a question though, I have a Shark ion multi flex IF281 which is a cordless stick vacuum, but the battery life is not good. I would really like to take one of my dewalt 60v or even 20v batteries and somehow get that to work on the vacuum so that it will last way longer. Any suggestion? Thanks

[@vuaeco]

How many volts is your Shark battery? I have a Dyson cordless vacuum and it's a 24V (6 cells) battery. I use my Kobalt 24V power tool battery on it and it works fine. So I reckon you could probably do the same thing for your Shark vacuum. Just use the same voltage battery and it should work.

[@scottkasprzak4042]

@@vuaeco It says 25.5 volts, what do you think? Thanks

[@vuaeco]

@@scottkasprzak4042 That's an odd number. I think it's 25.2V, not 25.5V. That's because 4.2V x6 = 25.2V. So your battery might be 6 cells. Open it up and double check just to be sure. But you can definitely run a Kobalt 24V power tool battery on it. A Dewalt 20V battery might work if there's no controller. If there's a controller, you will need to run close to 25V and a Kobalt 24V battery is best for it.

[@scottkasprzak4042]

@@vuaeco You’re right, I believe it is 25.2v, I’ll open it up and check. Where would I find the controller if it has one? Thanks

[@vuaeco]

@@scottkasprzak4042 The controller board should be inside the unit. My Dyson works just fine with a direct 24V hookup.

[@randomscooterrider5334]

Hi, do you have the issue when the external battery disables the internal battery when they are parallel? I have a 36v scooter with an internal battery of 36v10.4Ah and an external battery of 36v13Ah. After having both batteries connect for half a year with little weekly usage. I found out that sometimes the internal battery will no longer "connect" to the scooter, there is no power output, and charging it will always show green light on the charger. Do you have a similar issue with your build? Do you have any suggestions on what is happening? The scooter is pretty new with light weekly use. Thanks.

[@vuaeco]

It's not a good idea to connect in parallel 2 batteries with different capacity. One of them will empty out first and the other one will become a charger for the less capacity battery. It's a fire hazard. It might damage both batteries in the long run. Check both your pack. Maybe one of them is already damaged.

[@TheDddkkk]

@@vuaeco then how do you connect all this. i dont care about the bracket, but about the connection. what do you do with the bms of the internal? as your power tool batteries dont have any bms except the one from the manufacture ofcourse or do you use them but how.

[@fighter67]

super cool

[@newbie101]

isn't it cheaper to make your battery pack than using tools battery pack?

[@vuaeco]

Yes, absolutely. Anything you can make your own is a lot cheaper. Power tool batteries are expensive. But if you're already have cordless power tools, then why not put it to good use? You're not using your power tools while you're riding your scooter, are you? :D

[@VictorIbelles]

What would happen if I just connect a power bank or a external battery directly to the charger port of the scooter while riding ?

[@DonVerchi700as]

The battery motherboard shuts down while charging so it won't work.

[@fixitfelix718]

[@Silver-pm5iq]

Hello, great video. I noticed you made a series connection for the 2 24v battery packs. What if you made a parallel connection for the controller and connect both batteries in parallel. This way you don’t have to stop and plug in. I think the sparks would be avoided from plugging in the controller to the battery.

[@vuaeco]

The reason why I connect 2x 24V batteries in series is because the controller requires more than 36V to run. Putting 2x 24V in parallel will not power on the controller.

[@Silver-pm5iq]

@@vuaeco What I’m saying is that you need to run the external battery and internal battery in parallel.

[@vuaeco]

@@Silver-pm5iq It's not a good idea to run external and internal batteries in parallel because they have different capacity and discharge rate. I even run the external batteries at different voltages so parallel with internal battery is a no go.

[@Silver-pm5iq]

@@vuaeco I understand. What if the batteries have the same voltage and capacity?

[@mikelejeune9259]

Is that the original speed controller? I am not very happy with how fast my battery drains and just want to upgrade it, could I connect any other internal battery replacement to the speed controller that comes with the scooter, I only ever find xiaomi replacements, will those battery packs still work in the swagger 5? The stock battery is 6Ah, I was thinking to get a 7.8Ah or more capacity instead... Do I need new speed controller and all for that to work or will stock controller work with it still?

Hi Friend. I am trying to convert all my codless tools to use the same battery platform. I have managed to do most of them that just use positive and a negative, just two prongs. But some of the tools have 4 prongs Positive Negative ,VC and some other.. what are these for? and how do I go about it?

[@vuaeco]

The other prongs on the 4-prong tools are for security purpose. They do it to prevent you from using other batteries on their tools. Only Ryobi and older tools (including Dewalt) use 2 prongs. Newer tools have at least 3 prongs nowadays.

[@MonkeyUK.]

Did u get this sorted as I am thinking of the same thing just to take mine for 36v up to 48v so I was going to add 12v from a drill. It is only to get a bit more speed . And I am going to use a switch to turn it on and off. As I may not need to use it all the time.

Hey. your video is great. It helped me solve some problems with the additional battery mounting. I have a question, I have a 350w electric scooter with 600w max power. I have a 36v -48v - 350w and 18amp controller. Currently I have two 36v 10 amp batteries in series, which still gives me 36v but 20 amp. The question is. Can i connect the third one of this same power? 36v - 10amp. ? So I will have one large 36v battery but almost 30amp. Do you think it will drive safely? will not burn the engine or controller? Thank you for your help :)
