How to run two batteries on the Backfire Zealot.

[@JS-es8pk]

You can attach the battery with velcro on top.

[@Aeroworks540]

I have always wanted to put a battery into a backpack and just plug in a cable for extra range

[@nanos.4872]

Lol there’s a video out there like that

[@surachai811]

IM DOING THAT RIGHT NOW!!!

[@SubaStar24]

@@surachai811do you bring a screwdriver around then? Lol

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

I can’t wait to do this.

[@robm425]

After only 10miles range on my Zealot S last night I will have to consider this if I want to keep running cloud wheels in the winter

[@sebastian21zuky21]

Hi man, I did what you show and it is working! Thank you for a good video!

[@whereisthemessiah]

What range do you get

[@SubaStar24]

Hello?

[@robm425]

Got my second Zealot s battery but can't find room to stuff the xt60 parallel splitter on the original battery cubby hole. Am I doing it wrong? I was planning to connect to battery on top outside the batter box as you did here.

[@onel0wcubn]

Just have to take your time and try to organize all those cables as best you can. It's a very tight fit, but it fits depending on the size of your splitter cable. I also used a dremel to make a small hole for the cable to come out of then used some rubber sealant to keep it water tight.

[@robm425]

@@onel0wcubn thanks I bought 12awg splitter originally but now bought 14awg was thinking of dremeling a spot for the cord to come out I will see just how much space I need

[@Skd92g]

Awesome job! Thanks alot for sharing!

[@sottosotto4056]

I currently have a backfire zealot and while it performs really well, I do find that the 96mm wheels are lacking when it comes to certain trails. I want to add 105mm cloud wheels but I know that this will limit the range. In order to counteract this, I want to add a second 311 backfire zealot battery. I have a question. Can you charge both batteries at once?

[@ericleblanc3430]

@hellsfavoritesaltyberserke4724 For smooth ride cloodwheel are the best ... but for old school longboard the stock wheels are insane ... good feeling in the carves

[@ryeguy556]

Would this work with wow go 3e ?

[@kaenenmccarley6123]

What about the other cables that connect to the battery ?

[@xxyungchavezxx7579]

Great video

[@spoonz1349]

does the top speed increase?

[@jesseutt3311]

Did you ever find a different way to mount the second battery?

[@onel0wcubn]

You can double stack on top too. Use some tie down straps. A few of my buddies run 3 batteries like that.

[@kevinburns5889]

Is there a way to maybe run a switch rather than running the batteries in parallel? I read somewhere that running them this way shortens the battery life.

[@sergioinsunza8653]

so if I have the backfire G2 black and g2 galaxy can my ESC run that or would that mess it up?

[@sergioinsunza8653]

let's see if I do the battery setup with that xt60 #1 . do I need to have both batteries on when riding #2 can I charge them both at the same time well connected

[@SubaStar24]

Did you find your answer? Lol

[@williamsullivan5584]

Are you still able to change both batteries?

[@JOSHDL13]

Do you charge the batteries seperatley or will charging one whilst the other is connected via the splitter also charge the extra one?

[@pieronzolo81]

I Follow.. good question !!!!!

[@nanos.4872]

I seen in another video with parallel set up and mention charging separately

[@SubaStar24]

Ain’t no one answering this questions and it’s soo annoying 😠

[@shayjordan1899]

[@gotcha1248]

Try velcro

[@andrewarmes665]

QUESTION. Can I run my meepo ER battery like this on my Zealot??

[@Fredline57]

Very cool! Can this be done with the Ranger X2 and the G3 battery? Or would you have to use another Ranger battery? Thanks!

[@THEMASTER-vi5fq]

can i 3d priont make a different case and put it on the bottom?

[@ronniechampagne2951]

I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a while. I didn’t realize it was so simple to hook up another batter to your board. How in the world are your feet not exhausted after that long of a ride haha. How can you tell if your boards esc can handle a second battery pack? I want to do this with my Wowgo 3

[@keatondiener9075]

Same! I've been wanting to add another battery to my Wowgo 3 too but I've been to worried about damaging the board!

[@slaxxx]

could you use another zealot s battery pack? im not sure how much the esc could handle..

[@michaelb.6007]

Can you do this with any other battery? If I wanted to hook up a battery from mboards, and just add a small enclosure, would that be alright? What are the rules? Should the batteries use the same cells / Have the same configuration (cells in series and parallel)? Thanks for the video!

[@jefhoufflyn1183]

Do you have an answer to that question now?

[@chickensandwich1589]

I saw the real board on the ground at the end, ha.

[@TengKaz]

Hi can you put a 10s2P 4 A.H and a 10s2P 6 A.H in parralel using this system please ? great video btw

[@gotcha1248]

Can i just swap out the batteries on the go? Or do i need the cable for it to work

[@MadDonJuan]

Aslong as they fit you can, 6 screws and thats it. Not shore if the both 12s but if so, it will keep the nice original look.

[@raymondtalavera8505]

Can the battery be mounted at the bottom instead of the top🤔

[@Syuurp]

Won’t fit

[@BoyangSun]

Is it possible to do this for exway flex as well? Or is this unique to zealot

[@eboardguy8820]

What was your average range without the massive hills

[@sebastian21zuky21]

Hi man, I am first time here. I love your videos. Just one question, I have bougth Zealot too, I am waiting on it. Do you think I can do the same since I have never done something like this? And is there any downs? Cheers.

[@onel0wcubn]

Sebastian Zukal it’s very easy. You will be able to do it once you have the parts you need

[@sebastian21zuky21]

@@onel0wcubn Hey, will it work with this battery Backfire 260Wh www.backfireboards.com/collections/electric-skateboard-accessories/products/backfire-260wh-346wh-battery-pack-21700-full-sealed-with-enclosure-and-charging-port?variant=31132977889391 ?? 346Wh is very expensive.

[@Je55ieduhh]

@@sebastian21zuky21 I’m also considering this battery. But I’m also thinking about hot swapping on the go..anybody got more knowledge on this ?

[@Je55ieduhh]

@@sebastian21zuky21 I think you would need to have at least the 311 WH battery. As that’s what it comes stock. Doesn’t make sense to go any less

[@rodogg34]

I can't get all the wires in that little space

[@hodgepodge888]

Anyone try this out yet? I'm thinking of doing this but it looks like it would be uncomfortable riding with a big battery mounted on top of the deck. I got big feet so I don't know if I would have good foot space.

[@onel0wcubn]

Do you stand in the Middle of the board? Big feet go over the edge. You got extra wide feet?

[@motorizedbicyclerider5296]

@@onel0wcubn good one 😆 lol

[@jonathanknight4107]

I usually do a setup like this with rc cars. What was the range you got

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

This is much simpler than I thought it would be. Good stuff. When you run it for a long time like that do you think it impacts the motors?

[@onel0wcubn]

Very Simple. As with anything if you run it for a long time it's going age but these motors are very solid. I'm still running my G2T with 2 batteries and occasionally 3 batteries and have over 2k miles on that setup with no issues.

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

onel0wcubn how do you charge the second battery do you take it off or charge them both together while connected?

[@SubaStar24]

Still don’t know the answer till this day lol

[@mikeycarney8838]

Can someone tell me how to recharge this tho

[@surf_the_wind]

if im able to do this (even tho I have no experience doing stuff like this lol) im gonna consider buying the ZEALOT I have a ranger x2 (my first eboard) but right now im looking for another board with longer range and didnt feel like the zealot had the amount of battery power i was looking for

[@surf_the_wind]

i was very torn between whether to buy the g3 plus or the Exway Flex riot

[@iddoandersen824]

Can i do three batteries?

[@onel0wcubn]

I have! Just need multiple splitters. I wouldn't do it 100% of the time but yes you can do it.

[@gotcha1248]

How does it handle hills?

[@onel0wcubn]

Gotchabro414 great!

[@gregtheone975]

Better than 30% incline top speed must be a little higher two

[@qdh9339]

Nice. La Croix Naz!

[@onel0wcubn]

Yessir Lonestar! It’s a beast.

[@feltric]

be carefull. theres no limiter between the batties. if one is empty and one is full a lot of amps going between those xt60s

[@FAB1150]

Not if you always keep them plugged to one another, it will be like a parallel connection.

[@onel0wcubn]

Feltric Garmond it’s perfectly fine. I’ve run batteries in parallel like this for years. Thousands of miles.

[@saturos7672]

You should tell the people that this is not safe.. running different batterys with different capacity in parralel may damage them. If you connect them when they dont have the EXACT same voltage (like for example one is full and one only half) then one destroys the other one and it might start a fire

[@jonathanknight4107]

I actually do this with my rc cars. Long as the batteries are the same it don't matter if with is full or not nothing is going to happen. I have 10 years with rc cars building and wiring.

[@snaiderakarley1720]

Horrible

[@gnrriffs]

Looks Terrible like a Bad Trampa !!! Just swap it when it runs out or you will Cook your bms & esc .

[@FAB1150]

How? It's not like you run them in series, the voltage is the same. They're in parallel so it should be better for the BMS's, they'll see less Amps.

[@onel0wcubn]

odge balownee wrong. They’re in parallel and run down together evenly.

[@gnrriffs]

@@onel0wcubn Will it not increase Voltage ??

[@onel0wcubn]

odge balownee no. The batteries are both 50.4 volts. The batteries in parallel still are 50.4v that’s doesn’t change. Just the number of cells in the configuration. 48 cells instead of 24. 12s4p.
