    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  3 роки тому +1

      I have not done that mainly because it simply doesn't have enough power. For a 48V system, when you first accelerate from zero, the controller easily pull 25-30 Amps from the battery. That's about 1500 Watts. That buck converter will have a hard time keeping up with that.

    Hey. your video is great. It helped me solve some problems with the additional battery mounting. I have a question, I have a 350w electric scooter with 600w max power. I have a 36v -48v - 350w and 18amp controller. Currently I have two 36v 10 amp batteries in series, which still gives me 36v but 20 amp. The question is. Can i connect the third one of this same power? 36v - 10amp. ? So I will have one large 36v battery but almost 30amp. Do you think it will drive safely? will not burn the engine or controller?
    Thank you for your help :)

    Hi Vuaeco, I love your channel and your videos are cool too. I have a question though, I have a Shark ion multi flex IF281 which is a cordless stick vacuum, but the battery life is not good. I would really like to take one of my dewalt 60v or even 20v batteries and somehow get that to work on the vacuum so that it will last way longer. Any suggestion? Thanks

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  4 роки тому +3

      How many volts is your Shark battery? I have a Dyson cordless vacuum and it's a 24V (6 cells) battery. I use my Kobalt 24V power tool battery on it and it works fine. So I reckon you could probably do the same thing for your Shark vacuum. Just use the same voltage battery and it should work.

      @vuaeco  4 роки тому +1

      @@scottkasprzak4042 That's an odd number. I think it's 25.2V, not 25.5V. That's because 4.2V x6 = 25.2V. So your battery might be 6 cells. Open it up and double check just to be sure. But you can definitely run a Kobalt 24V power tool battery on it. A Dewalt 20V battery might work if there's no controller. If there's a controller, you will need to run close to 25V and a Kobalt 24V battery is best for it.

    Hello, great video. I noticed you made a series connection for the 2 24v battery packs. What if you made a parallel connection for the controller and connect both batteries in parallel. This way you don’t have to stop and plug in. I think the sparks would be avoided from plugging in the controller to the battery.

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  4 роки тому

      The reason why I connect 2x 24V batteries in series is because the controller requires more than 36V to run. Putting 2x 24V in parallel will not power on the controller.

    Hi, do you have the issue when the external battery disables the internal battery when they are parallel?
    I have a 36v scooter with an internal battery of 36v10.4Ah and an external battery of 36v13Ah. After having both batteries connect for half a year with little weekly usage. I found out that sometimes the internal battery will no longer "connect" to the scooter, there is no power output, and charging it will always show green light on the charger.
    Do you have a similar issue with your build? Do you have any suggestions on what is happening? The scooter is pretty new with light weekly use.
    Thanks.

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  2 роки тому +1

      It's not a good idea to connect in parallel 2 batteries with different capacity. One of them will empty out first and the other one will become a charger for the less capacity battery. It's a fire hazard. It might damage both batteries in the long run. Check both your pack. Maybe one of them is already damaged.

      The other prongs on the 4-prong tools are for security purpose. They do it to prevent you from using other batteries on their tools. Only Ryobi and older tools (including Dewalt) use 2 prongs. Newer tools have at least 3 prongs nowadays.

      He can still get it up to 40 mph. He has an upgraded controller 72v the original controller is 32v. The controller is the brain of the scooter.

      if you leave your scooter out in the rain all day all night, then yes, everything would be ruined in the rain, not just this.

      @@vuaeco what about riding it in the rain? Wouldn't some of the exposed wires cause malfunction? Don't get me wrong, I liked your video and found it very useful. I just wonder if there's a way to waterproof all of the additional components..
