Keybrick One - custom rechargeable battery for the Powered Up hub

[@RacingBrick]

More info about the product here -keybrick.one/

[@donovanellis1533]

I don't have any powered up hubs and likely won't be getting any, but I'll gladly back this if it means getting a version for the control+hub later. Thanks racingbrick for the thorough review!

[@mahj]

Thanks for all your hard work, this is some solid research.

[@KastaRules]

Man, you are turning into the Project Farm channel for LEGO. Which is outstanding.

[@R0Sch88]

The PUp Team from LEGO also said in different interviews that they are working on a rechargeable solution for both the train hub and the Technic Hub. They are designed ready for rechargeable swap. So by the time the kickstarter brings out these upgrades we might see official ones. What I like about the KS version is the possibility of switching between modes and rotation direction but the drawback is the need for an accessible battery box which wouldn't work in a train that well. Would be cool if LEGO's version also had a micro usb rechargeable port and not the round port.

[@RacingBrick]

I wouldn't hold my breath for an official solution soon, considering the speed of development over at LEGO. As I see they need a proper set first to justify the release of such product, and it wouldn't have for sure added functionality like the different power modes.

1 year later still nothing? :/ would be cool to have lipo modules officially.

3 years later and still nothing@@AlienPrague

Btw for the smaller hub you can buy adapter cables from old system, and stack them togheter i think, this way you have more outputs. not seperated but still.

[@Bricks.Master.Builders]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@sailovspider]

Thanks for this review! You supported great startup and we can hope to get another super usefull battery replacements for all new lego electronics line. Sure it will become cheaper and more powerfull somedays.

[@alex_hitman]

Seems good, I hope they do a rechargeable pack for the Technic hub with the same magnet switch - that feature is really cool.

[@yaro137]

Happy I subscribed to your channel. You found just what I was looking for with perfect timing.

[@jeremys.4423]

A rechargeable battery for the technic hubs would incredible.

[@GuilhermeLimait]

Didn't know about this battery but it is really amazing. Nice work!

[@mariuszd.4909]

I started to thinking is it worth to buy keybrick ( its not affordable for me), or maybe to buy lego 88009 hub, and some better recharchable batteries? What i mean is this, maybe for example eneloop batteries could be better than ikea ones? (unfortunelty im not good at electronics to compare them even on paper) eneloops batteries are used in flashlights for photography and there their have very good reputation.

[@gamemasterksdude280]

The benefit of the new Powered Up system is obvious. The coding possibilities, no I’m talking about there not being a stupid servo motor that constantly breaks :).

[@simonech74]

I just saw that Lego released a USB charger, and a new hub (but seems to still be battery powered). But what could be the purpose of the USB charger if there are no usb-powered things for Lego?

[@RacingBrick]

Not sure which "new hub" you refer to, do you have a set/part number? The 88019 USB adapter they released can only be used with the Spike Prime and Spike Essential hubs.

[@tzingt]

I’m interested in the spike prime program you made!

[@jliu1596]

Hopefully they make one for the control+ hub too

[@zenossimone2535]

88009 can use for programing ?

[@vtvv864]

looks nice👍

[@Dadudi]

Very nice product, what a shame lego didn't make it. Anyway, will you review the new upcoming Buwizz motor that will be a Buwizz made Buggy motor?

[@RacingBrick]

I definitely will when it becomes available :)

[@Dadudi]

@@RacingBrick Thanks, I am looking forward to that video. It will be extremely interesting.

[@michaelwade4835]

Is it true buwizz is releasing a motor soon?

[@JasperJanssen]

Try putting a wall behind the train. It looks like your sensor is seeing the train go across the other side of the oval much of the time.

[@pretziboy4162]

Is the rally car costume build, built with the internet instructions from the lego app

[@RacingBrick]

It is a modified version of 42109, I changed the colors and replaced the Technic hub with the AAA hub (it required some structural changes). You can see more of it in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKKUfmeXft5mqbM

[@craigwolstenholme2166]

Which motor and powerpack are you using in the Landrover defender video and do you recommend that or are there better ones ? Just for testing

[@RacingBrick]

I used a Large motor with a Power Functions battery box

[@craigwolstenholme2166]

[@STEINeZEIT]

Cool

I would think that the 1 big battery would be heavier.

perfect as always thank you

@@RacingBrick Thank you very much dude. I love your Videos. I have the 42109. I will Bild a light mod. I have the old Power functions Motors and lights. I dont want to pay 10€ for the New powered up lights. I can still use my old Things. Why buying New, when already have lights

[@RacingBrick]

@@paulalbrechts6054 well the adapters ain't cheap either, but if you use it for lights and you stack them then it can be a better deal at the end than buying PU lights.

That make sence I can Stack the lights. I have the 42109 and there left only 2 Port

I wonder if this would fit into the Boost. I teach Boost classes and changing the batteries in class is a bit of a pain. The Boost battery box has this little notch on it though, which is a bit annoying as I imagine this would make it incompatible

I actually prefer slotted screws over Philips. Philips is the worst screw head design in the world, it is DESIGNED to slip off when too much torque is applied. Idiotic if you consider, that this always damages the screw head.
