How to Replace Razor MX650 Dirt Bike Batteries AND Save Money - DAD HACK

[@richktp1]

I got a free Razor 650 with dead batteries. I followed your video, and I bought the same batteries. It is working and my grandson is going to be delighted. Thank you !!!

[@MrGizmo211]

Awesome!! Happy to help

[@terrencesantiago9982]

I just finished my kids 650 following your video and the results were perfect. We tried to save money and get a used one, but the batteries would not keep the charge. I didn’t take off the seat, but I literally ordered everything from your links and you saved my investment. Thank you!

[@scotthuggins7151]

I know you made this a while ago, but we just discovered this. We got the mighty max batteries as you suggested. Your patience and detailed instructions were dead on! We did this on an MX650 model. It was a lot tougher and it took us a little longer, but it worked out and to see "the light come on" in my daughter's eyes was well worth it! To anyone that watches, follow his directions and r-wind many times if you have to...but stick to it, it will work for you just as it did for us. I can say that if I must do this again, it will go much quicker. I thumbs upped and subscribed. Thanks again!

[@MrGizmo211]

Congrats!! Getting it to work was rewarding to me as well! :)

[@bethanychase7539]

Our new batteries are getting delivered tomorrow and I am going to follow the instructions just like you did. I hope it works. Thanks for the great video.

[@choltzapple]

Really appreciate the link to these batteries. My kid's bike died recently and this way is so much better than paying the inflated price for Razor's replacement.

[@JoseMoreno-ti3ok]

You the man 👍🏼 you explain it way better then everyone else on KZbin

[@christinecotter5872]

love the no-solder approach, i was horrified when i saw the factory batteries! Very easy hack, great video, and simplistic! much appreciated fine sir!!!!

[@realgoodmind]

Thanks for making this for all of us dad's attempting to be heroes....!

[@iiBleedMusic]

Thank you sir, this was extremely useful. Your patience shows us you're a dad!

[@Chris-sl3ne]

This version of battery replacement for MX650 is by far the best one, it's the one I used!

[@rlmarketingfirm]

Well done. Perfect instructions. All the right details. Unbolting razor’s screws was the hardest part. Im not a “fixer” and I got it done. Thanks

[@AmenCornerRider]

Thank you for this! New Sub. Bought this same bike for my 5 year old granddaughter. She loves it. After 3 weeks, the bike just died but showed "full battery" green light. Had to call Razor support, take the bike apart to fix it. Made a great memory with my Granddaughters helping me put the bike back together. It wasn't easy 😛. But I will keep this Vid in mind when the battery starts to fail. Thanks again.

[@MrGizmo211]

Sounds good! Ty for subscribing!

[@jamesannuzzi198]

thanks for the link to the batteries. my little guy is going to be so happy. you rock brother 😎

[@MrGizmo211]

Awesome!

[@jazzymoe8300]

Thank you for the video. Just changed out my batteries and this video really helped. It took me 2 hours because of how hard it is to get to a couple of the screws but it worked great. Thanks again

[@vink6764]

Same ...what a pain in the a$$

[@yurrfaris]

Dude thank you so much I'm gonna convert my mx350 to 36v and I needed this video!!

[@vipertek2]

Sir ,you are the best. Thank you, now I can ride my dirt bike with out my battery dying fast.

[@MrGizmo211]

You are very welcome!

[@butterflytrickswithmichael2793]

Yo um just one question does this make faster or slower

[@AbominableGus]

How long does it last

[@themax4677]

Not 100% sure what that stuff is on the terminals, but if it is hot glue or similar, you could soak the glue in higher percentage rubbing alcohol, and it will soften up enough to just peel it away. If they happen to fit, might save you the trouble of clipping and crimping.

[@jggrimm101]

I tried to just remove the glue. Turns out the glue is only holding down the black insulation at the ends. The wires are soldered to the battery terminals underneath.

[@KaraHolland3]

Thank you so much. I hadn’t seen your video before I cut my batteries out and had my first time soldering them back in. I will definitely use the clips next time.

[@loofab]

I didn't see this video... but I used these exact same batteries and they work great! My son loves it and it is a lot faster than the razor go-kart.

[@DillingerLost]

Thanks! Instructions worked great. Took longer than I expected. Fighting with getting the bolts off seat and battery bracket using the allen wrenches was the worse. Feel bad for anyone with fat suage fingers. ... I was able to easily peal off the glue and rubber housing to cut right at the terminal to save wire length.

[@MrGizmo211]

Nice! Congrats on the success!

[@Aimon30boy]

exactly it was so hard

[@idunnoiguess1]

Excellent video. Thank you so much!

[@ktsjourney8405]

Thanks so much u made it so easy 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mgamga9476]

Plugs only fit one way. No need to mark with tape. Great video.. Those Mighty Max batteries are great. We also used them in a electric wheelchair. Better than originals. Personally I do not like crimping wires. They tend to pull out sometime. Soldering is much better connection. You will see in time how you get rot and dirt in your crimp connections

[@alienproductions9948]

Done. It worked for us. Thank you!

[@greybush804]

you kick ass good job. learned plenty.

[@mattcaldarale8789]

Great explanation, I’d say the hardest part of the whole thing was the battery bracket screws with the Allen key and all. But I do have one concern, I noticed that the mileage on one charge has dropped quite a bit than how it was when I first purchased the bike. Just wondering if anybody else has the same issue?

[@tommywilson5449]

Thank you I just got mine going I thought you had to sotter them you’re the man

[@MrGizmo211]

Congrats! Pretty cool that now replacing the batteries should be easy!

[@ronaldfkoreck7502]

Will the battery hold charge over cold winter

[@MrGizmo211]

So far mine have!!

[@oscarcervantes6225]

Thanks Mr Gizmo I just scored a MX650 for $40 same color as yours and the batteries are trashed I came across your video I’m ordering this batteries right away I will keep you posted. New subscriber. Thanks again.

[@tacostwowheels4934]

Loving the content so far!

Excellent excellent instructional video. Thanks!

That was so easy to do thank you so much👍

[@Salvadoreño-s5w]

Hey body just watching your video just bought the batteries 🔋 Just quick question how did you know that that battery was the problem my bike has little click when I push the troaddlor but I think it doesn’t have enough power that’s why I’m getting new batteries

[@northsbeer]

Very helpful! Thanks for the video

[@Ketchup_Packet91]

This is amazing. Recently got one for free because the battery is shot. Thank you so much for the info!

[@rcdriver9895]

How did you guys unbolt bottom battery bracket? I may need to get a L-sahped allen wrench. What size is it? Thanks for the video.

[@braydenlejeune1811]

Is the battery in the link compatible with the mx350

[@sethpate8126]

Thx so much! I was getting pissed just looking at that thing 😂

[@rhasbani4055]

Hi, I watched your video to replace my batteries. I put in brand new batteries, the bike worked. Now they won't charge. Any idea why? I also replaced the charging port.

[@quiksilverss-qs5mg]

I'm confused did you connect a black terminal to a red terminal and that's ok? Seems to be working fine I just didn't know you could do that without causing a short?

[@MrGizmo211]

I just did one at a time to make sure I matched what I was taking off :)

[@Chadman333]

That's how you connect batteries "in series".

[@imsraxyt8122]

Do batteries in the description come with three right?

[@spencerherring3287]

Yeah

[@angelaewing5961]

Great video! I was able to put the batteries in just like you did, even got the same brand. Downside is, still no lights when I turn the switch on. I checked the fuses, and they were fine too. Any recommendations what else to check?

[@abuzzmender3021]

What's the top speed on the new battery 🔋?

[@BrightspearConsult]

How do you troubleshoot to make sure that it is the batteries? Our Bike doesn’t even have the LEDs come on at all. No lights, no clicks no led at the throttle or on the power switch…. The charger light comes on and shows green (charges overnight) and still no lights whatsoever appear on the bike. Is that a battery issue or another type of issue? We checked all three fuses as per your guidance and they are all good. Please help…

[@Chadman333]

To make this job way easier you can order a new wire harness from amazon or other suppliers that have the slip on connectors for about $15 - $20.

[@p-funk2067]

Would this work with the mx350?

[@tamungas]

FYI you should remove the chip fuse before cutting and crimping, and use insulated female spade terminals. But great video.🤙

[@k24hatch]

@Miguel Aguilar 1:46 You can see the the small black fuse box on top of battery. If you take the fuse out of that box before doing any cutting it'll open the circuit and prevents short circuit while messing with the wires. Put it back last.

[@waynehardy1795]

Excellent! You rock!

[@JayL781]

So I'm getting ready to build my razor and I want to do the 72 volt system but I'm going to weld a tray right underneath the seat but above the back tire to hold two of those batteries and then I'm going to have four batteries where the batteries would normally go to make 72 volts are you aware of anyone trying this I know it's going to be heavy but I don't have the money for a lipo battery right now and I know I'm not going to go as far any reason why this wouldn't work that you can think of?

[@masin9660]

What is the range on the battery

[@AbominableGus]

How long do the original batteries last

[@MrGizmo211]

Really depends on how much you use them. My boys rode the daily for years. I would say they are good for 2 years with constant use.

[@Brian-fo8sh]

I am looking at this bike for my son. Have you had good luck with them? I know the video is a couple years old but I figured I’d ask. Great video by the way. Did you buy a warranty with this bike? Thx so much.

I don’t think so. The same as it was new

[@MotoX238]

I did it exactly as described and with the same replacement batteries off of Amazon. It worked great right away. For some reason the batteries won’t charge all the way despite the charger showing a green light stating ok charge. Any ideas/recommendation for why it may not be charging properly? Thanks and great video!

[@rebeccakoeper8134]

same issue here, video was so helpful to perform the wiring but once unplugged from the charger no lights are on even though it glows green with the charger plugged in

[@intensifier1346]

How much of a difference would 15AH make?

[@vanessacorp50]

why don`t you just disconnected the connectors out from old battery?

[@MrGizmo211]

I wish you could but they have a heavy glue on them.

[@chrisritman8704]

Changed to nee batteries a d it went perfect but im still having the same issues with the green light on the charger not turning red. Iv changed the charger, and iv changed the charger port and and all connections seem nice and snug. Someone please help

[@meukow90]

Question? I did installed the new batteries you showed in the video I went 12 v 15 amps , can I use the same original charger that came with the razor 650 ?

[@Chadman333]

Should be no problem. If you went to 15ah batteries over the stock 12ah, it just means the battery will supply current longer. It does not actually supply a higher current. May take a bit longer to charge, that's all.

[@lanceshields6746]

Good Video, thank you.

[@osvlogs4134]

I bought these batteries and did exactly what you did and made sure everything was wired perfectly but when I went to turn it on nothing happened. The power indicator near the throttle only lights up when I plug it in but as soon as I take the charger out the light goes out. Please help I don’t want to go through all of this for nothing.

[@bigdkobi712]

Same problem here ): we are trying to re clamp the wires right now

[@bigdkobi712]

Fixed! If you had sparks like we did when plugging the wires into the battery, it means you blew a fuse. We got a new one from ACE and now the bike works great

why do you have to cut off the connectors? won't they just slide off to accept new batteries? Surely razor doesn't expect you to have do to this if you buy their replacement batteries.

[@jdiii1413]

I installed my new batteries and when I turned the on button to on, the back tire started spinning like I had the throttle pulled to max speed. I don’t know if the throttle is bad, or that silver box (looks like a mini car amp for stereo) that the throttle runs into

This is NO commentary on this video - as it was helpful - in and of itself. But, this was one of the most infuriating projects that I have done in a long time.

Nearly impossible. Painstakingly awful. If you have a bad temper, prepare to be tempted to throw tools. 😅
