My battery and the wiring kit arrived today.Everything went together smoothly and now my battery life is doubled.This kit and video makes it so easy to get the job done..Thanks ElectricAllWheel.I highly recommend anyone considering buying this kit to just do it,take your time installing it and go easy on getting the wiring back inside the housing and everything goes together like clockwork,you will be happy you did it,I know I am.

[@johnh.miller1112]

You guys really hit it out of the park with this kit. I installed mine this morning on my 2.0 ST with extended 14Ah internal battery plus the Hailong 10Ah external. Now I have 24Ah total. The install was easy and took about an hour. The hardest part was figuring out how to cram the dual discharge adapter into the frame to clear the controller. You may want to show that step in more detail in this video because that’s the hardest part. Otherwise you have a winner! I think your idea of selling these in volume is great. This setup is great for those intimidated by the idea of a dual battery. This setup will also give the XPremium a run for it’s money and also satisfy those that don’t like the XPremium mid-drive idea. Now I’m completely removing the XPremium from my want list because I believe this setup is better. Also I added cable actuated hydraulic brakes so for $1,400. total cost you end up with a better bike in my opinion!

@@ElectricAllWheel Maybe if you can send a kit to a well known KZbin review like Jeremiah Macintosh or others to show the install you could sell a crap load of these kits. Maybe DaveBrandNew? because he doesn’t seem to worry about offending any sponsors. My video would be a drop in the bucket compared to landing one of those guys! I think you’ll sell a bunch of these but with the right reviewers the orders could knock your Sox off!? Your potential sales would be thousands of kits! You could also offer kit with battery and cut a volume deal with Hailong?

Now you have 24 Ah on your 2.0 ST, what is your range? According to what's on Lectric's webpage, lectricebikes.com/collections/xp-2-0-long-range/products/xp-step-thru-2-0-black-long-range, are you getting a combined range of the standard range plus the long range?

[@joevelez2956]

Well I am finally done with the install of the balancer kit and the recommended Hailong Battery, both are excellent products and highly recommend them. I decided to go with the external install for a couple of reasons. 1. I did not want to go through the hassle of cramming the wiring housing so I opted to use space in my Rockbros Bag. 2. I also wanted to add an ON/OFF switch so I would have the option of using both batteries or just one at a time. 3. I wanted to be able to disconnect the battery so as to charge it off the bike with a simple disconnect and all other wiring remains in the Rockbros bag. 4. The wiring was the issue and I did not want any wires exposed, so all the wiring is encased in a loom and run down the luggage rack rails held with zip ties and hidden from view. Very happy with the results. Thanks to ElectricAllWheel for their videos and recommendations.

I am in Canada and got my XP 2.0 step through from Lectric USA. You guys did a fantastic job on KZbin and when I see your first video, Immediately I order my dual battery discharge .... from Chines... at that time I did not have the possibility to buy from you. I received and install my Discharge. Unfortunately, I had to weld the wire and wire adaptor. (did not have your adaptor) I did want to put a switch to the original battery so I could if I want to use only the batteries nu. 2. But the wire that I built took too much space so I was unable to have a switch for the original batt. (As you probable know, There is 2 hold at the bottom of the frame so I could install a switch) As a stand, I used a car jack so I could put the height that I want and temporarily the jack was holding with tide rap. Your video is very professional and informatif. Can I order from you the two black Adaptors and the two cables for the second battery?? (since I have the discharger) and Ship in Canada Montreal Area.

Hi. Sorry if I’m repeating myself, but will you be providing a video on how to install the kit using both the stock battery and the long range battery using the kit? It would be nice to see how you open the Lectric stock battery and make the connections. I already bought the kit from you yesterday. Thanks!

[@ElectricAllWheel]

Hi Maria. We can do it but it will take some time. Also, We will only attempt this on a XP 2.0. May we suggest simply keeping the long range as your primary, selling the original and getting a battery that is built for the exterior of your frame? We know it sounds like a pain, but the integrated frame batteries were really built to be used specifically inside the frame. They have void stickers, and the need to be retrofit for charging even after you pull it out. You will save yourself quite the headache, selling one or simply buying a third. If you have the dual battery kit installed and run down two batteries, you could pull out your second Lectric battery and just swap it for your long range and it will discharge like the original bike from the factory, even if the exterior battery has been depleted.

Seems like this video was more about showing us how Quickly you could do this - BUT - I was having great difficulty SEEING the cables and what plugs went where! Had to watch it 3 times before I felt comfortable, and still not absolutely sure, of what connects to what. I suggest doing this video again, and slowing the hell down, and letting us SEE the black unit and what cable goes to what cable. Otherwise I'm not a happy camper giving you my money when I could fry something here and be out not only the money spent on your items, but possible destroying the Lectric silver box too!!!! Please LISTEN to what I said, and not just make excuses and brush it off. If you care about customers, who've never done this before, then you will listen and redo this video and slowly go thru each connection with the ability to also SEE what it is you are plugging into what. Hope this helps for many customers as well - the reason why you are in business btw.

This may be repetitive but actually the batteries will operate in parallel correct? Which in turn will allow the bike to operate longer thus go farther between charges.

[@ElectricAllWheel]

...a balanced discharge matching the demands of the controller (power needs). Each battery will be "drawn down" uniformly to the low voltage cutoff of the controller (no bars). Think of Amp Hours (Ah) like a gas tank size. The more Ah, the bigger the tank and longer the trip. With this setup, you can have two 48V batteries. One will be the factory 10Ah (avg.) and the other will be an Ah value of your choosing. Consider your mounting points, budget, need, etc. to determine what size you might want. Double is an easy concept and that is why we recommended the battery. It's economical and easy to attach, and adds 10Ah to the factory 10Ah.

I understand the importance of matching voltage on the two batteries. But I recall reading that a 52V and 48V could be used together. Can't recall where. Perhaps because the voltage is close to the same??? Any insight on this? Sounds too risky to just give it a try based on some internet forum opinion.

Principally, you would miss a portion of usable voltage because of your cutoff voltages for controller and/or BMS.

Quick question, I already have a second battery for my bike that is the Lectric battery. Do you have a kit for using this plug and play system with the OEM batteries?

[@ElectricAllWheel]

Thanks for reaching out. I wouldn’t recommend this as a normal practice. We have seen something similar to what you are saying in one of the FB groups linked below. If it was an absolute must, I would open the externally used battery and check the innards for a blue wrapped battery that has an XT60 connector. It is crucial though that the charge cable be held intact which makes this a bit difficult. You will need to make contact to your battery poles labeled over the top. I would target the DCH-006 430 battery case type name and search for a contact plate that works. There will likely need to be certain modifications to secure the connection. These batteries were designed for use inside the frame. Our overall suggestion would be to sell the one least desired and move towards a battery that can be more easily secured outside the frame. In your case you would want to keep the bigger battery. We hope this helps, and are sorry for not having a better solution for you at this time. facebook.com/groups/lectric/permalink/1175723686313760/

[@ElectricAllWheel]

The key for a Lectric turns on and off the battery only. If the key is off, that battery is not contributing to power output.

[@sovietbear3024]

@@ElectricAllWheel I feel like this could be solved by a version of the discharge kit that only works when the primary battery is active, which has the downside of potentially wasting charge on the aux battery. Another option is two batteries with two keys. If we could find one that allowed you to lock it and turn it on without keeping the key in that'd be perfect, save for that a retractable keyring might be the answer... Either way I don't think it's *THAT* big a deal. If you we're only relying on the battery lock to secure your bike then you probably don't need to lock up your bike to begin with. If you're in an area where it's going to get stolen, you should probably have a bike lock.

[@KellysWildAdventures]

@@ElectricAllWheel Not sure I quite understand this,are you saying the balancer will not fit inside the housing of the Lite or will it all go inside the housing with no problems?

[@ElectricAllWheel]

We have not put the kit on a Lite. We understand the controller connectors and know that the kit will work plugged into the controller. It is anticipated that the balancer will fit in the body like the white step thru in the video, balancer flat on bottom underneath sideways controller. In a situation where it doesn’t fit or the owner has added LEDs or other connections, the extension cables can be switched to the balancer out, and 1 battery “in.” This will allow you to run the balancer to your battery bag outside of your frame.

I’ve wired the dual battery and after about 2 days. The mileage that I travel gets shorten from like 25-30 to like 10 or 15 miles. Is there something wrong with charger or the battery.

[@ElectricAllWheel]

We suggest unplugging the second battery and verifying that the factory battery is charged and runs the bike. Then fold the bike in half and turn the bike on from the second battery only. Be careful to lift the wheel in the event the throttle is touched. If there is reaction from both separate instances, check your charging for each individual battery. Continued issues will require you to check your wiring to or from 1 of the batteries. Also, make sure the key is on for your factory battery

I have the lectric 2.0 st. and I just picked up another battery 48 volts 20 AH instead of the factory 10.4 or 9.6 AH will the dual battery kit work with that so I can use 1 batt. then switch to the other batt. Btw, the new battery has an XT connector. My concern is the different AH of 20 vs 10 Thanks So it does not matter which battery is in the "IN A" or "IN B" correct?

[@ElectricAllWheel]

You can combine any Amp hour (Ah) battery you want. Just match your voltage rating (48V)

[@rocrocky1668]

What’s the best battery for speed and range?

[@ElectricAllWheel]

Just get the 48V rated battery that suits your budget and distance. We have see others add a second 30Ah 48V battery.

[@shawnbrown1404]

I have a Sondors Fold Mini/Sport with a 36v 8.7ah battery. Would something like this work for me?

[@ElectricAllWheel]

Yes. The XT60 to deans t-plug adapters may not work for your controller, but discharge balancer will. Make sure your other battery is 36V

Hi! I just purchased this kit and am hoping for guidance regarding the use of two stock 10Ah Lectric XP batteries. Specifically, how do I attach the interior Lectric XP battery and an external of the same make and model? If this has already been covered I would appreciate a point in the right direction or a link if possible. Many thanks!

[@ElectricAllWheel]

The adapter for two stock batteries will be released in about a week (follow the channel for more) Otherwise, you can use the kit with the factory battery and the recommended battery or any 48V battery with an XT60 connection

@@ElectricAllWheel Thanks, i got it installed, I couldnt fit it in at first on the 3.0 but once i flipped the controller i was able to slide it in the bottom under it. Works great. Couldnt fit it in my 2.0 due to the rats nest of wires even though it fit better side to side. Might try to find an external option or some longer leads so i dont have to have the balancer internally.

Might buy another kit and try again cause I love my 2.0 more than my 3.0 since it goes about 6 mph faster for some reason, i think they went more torque with the 3.0.

Is it safe to run the 2 batteries at the same time

The safety of this install is the purpose. So, plainly speaking yes. The balancer is an added safety measure to add to batteries in parallel to run at the same time

I am planning on getting the kit, but I would like to have the extra battery and balancer on the outside.

How wide is the balancer please? The housing on the Lite is approximately 1 and 1/2 inches.

45mm or 1.77 inches

[@ElectricAllWheel]

On the black XP2.0 the balancer is placed at an angle over the top of the controller in the housing.

[@shawnbrown1404]

How much range do you get by adding the second battery?

[@ElectricAllWheel]

By matching Ah you essentially double it. But that all depends on riding habits and characteristics. A larger Ah battery as a second will yield even more.

Hi do you Ave ta have both batteries on at the same time or one at a time I want ta get another 21ah battery on rack just like ur other video with the heat gun..one in the frame the other on the rack that's looks so much easier

The balancer allows you to evenly discharge two batteries regardless of the Ah. Just make sure they are 48V

You don't say how this is different to the other dual control boxes as it's well known that it's not recommended to use these parallel splitters.

[@ElectricAllWheel]

It is unclear what this comment is insinuating (though we have a good idea why this comment was made). It is well known that utilizing these balancers is a common practice and one of the safest methods to run a parallel connection. It would appear you’re advocating for a balancer with a higher efficiency, and fortunately we sell that too with the DateX2 Dx2

I just completed this diy kit! It was a real pain in the butt to get the wires and controllers to fit, but finally got it. Both batteries work individually, so I assume it is a success. Should my voltage read differently once they’re both hooked up together? Looks to be same 54V charge still. I am guessing I will only really know once I do a mileage test? P.S. I completed your freewheel change last summer and appreciate those videos too. That was also painless. My only problem related to that is that my shifter sometimes jumps between 6 & 7. Need to tweak my derailleur I believe.
