Excellent! I installed two Milwaukee 12 AH batteries today and went for a test drive. After about 16 kilometers (10 miles) of driving on a dirt road, the batteries still had three lights left! The only drawback is that the batteries almost could not fit in the housing intended for them.

4 12ah batteries get you just 40 miles range?
@dickdickling938926 күн бұрын
@@chrischung23651x 12ah is 216wh making for a total of 864wh. Roughly means he got 43 miles best case scenario, most say round 20wh per mile. 40 miles for a bike is plenty, if you need more, then take a bus or car especially in america. For me in europe its 5x morning commutes to work. Big reason why bikes are popular here.

Not how voltage/watt hours work... Wiring in series, your "90 watt hours" will remain 90 watt hours. Series only doubles voltage, parallel doubles amp/watt hours.

I'm doing a similar setup with two 8.0 High Output M18s in a 36 Volt configuration for a scooter, however I'm noticing that the batteries are going in what Milwaukee calls shutdown mode( single flashing led) if, I suspect, pull more than ~12- 20 amps. The batteries still have plenty of voltage left , but if they were in a normal tool, The tool would be told not to turn on by the battery, but because we are using direct power taps, the batteries still output the power. Putting the batteries into the charger "Resets" the mode and it's a fully functional battery again. I wonder @14:10 even though you ran the batteries low the battery status was similar to my situation

Excellent video! I am thinking of trying this as well, but I have all Ryobi batteries so the mount is a little more of a challenge but I think it’s doable.
@toptiergarage73782 жыл бұрын
100% doable. The stems make it a little bit more bulky. Plus the ryobi batteries have a voltage cut off in the batteries themselves so you can't over discharge them.
@nathangant76369 ай бұрын
For a 36v motor, I'd just go for a Ryobi 40v 12aH battery, or the smaller 8aH / 6aH sizes and avoid a 2s battery setup. For connectors, I went from XT60 to the Anderson powerpoles. The newer Bafang motors use 45 amp Anderson connectors instead of XT60s. . Much improved contacts, although an Anderson crimping tool is best for completing the wires.

I have acquired 6 pieces, very cheap (10-20% of the new price) almost new 12Ah/18V Milwaukee batteries and I want to install them in the E-bike. The problem is the adapter is made of cheap plastic, most likely ABS, not polycarbonate (PC). or fiberglass nylon How did you ensure that the batteries do not discharge below 2.5V per cell and thus destroy them? Another problem, how to secure batteries against theft??? Greetings from Switzerland

When you said nine mile range, is that with both batteries at the same time or nine mile range with one battery? And what app did you use on your phone to get those ride statistics? Also at the end when you show the ah with wh. How you list 2ah and 6ah, is that 2x batteries at 2ah is 4.27 miles? Or is that with 1x battery? Then how you list 6ah, is that with two 6ah batteries?

Why can't you just wire the battery straight to the motor? Did you do the power wheels adapter just because it's easier?
@farmerchad62 Жыл бұрын
The power wheels adapters just make it super easy to remove and replace the batteries for charging. This way, you can use the Milwaukee charger that comes with your tools, even keep spare batteries in a backpack with you. You really wouldn't want to do this any other way.

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzbin.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
