I just added a 3rd battery to my bike. Simple and easy. Increased my speed and distance. Top speed with throttle only 39.3 mph. Distance set on 3 out of 5 170+ miles. At 170 I still had 1 bar. I'm loving it!
My bike had some confusing messy wiring with no official connectors. Just finished up my first soldering job and my batteries are working in parallel perfectly.
I have 2 batteries. On a long ride I carry the spare in a luggage rack. I get your customer wanting 3 batteries. If my manufacturer offered my bike in a 2 battery version that could charge on 1 port I'd sell my bike and buy the 2 battery version Some of us really want the range. Thanks for the video.
I have a Radrover and bought your triangle battery 52v 20ah along with motor and controller. Couldn’t be happier with the combo! Glad you’re feeling better 😊
Yes, you can put three batteries on a Ebike, but I got 50ah of battery with two and I never worry about running out of battery! I have a Himiway Zebra step-thru that comes with a 48V 20ah 21700 5000mah cells. So, I got a second 48V 30ah 21700 5000mah cell that is 13lbs in the rear rack bag. I put the 40a balancer in the frame near the controller, so I have just the lead wire going up to the rear rack battery. Very clean setup and it works great! I been using it for six months and many miles. Love it! Also, the Zebra has 400lbs capacity so 13lbs is nothing.
He will love his Spectre. I was one of the first people to get the 2023 and I love it. Even with the two batteries I've been able to go for full day long Adventures. The only week went on that bike that I have found is the pawls in the freehub. I have broken two sets in the last 3 months.
Looks very similar to my Biktrix FS Pro 3, which is a dual-battery full-suspension mid-drive bike. I've ridden with three batteries multiple times, but one is a cold spare in my trunk bag that I swap in when needed. I've done multiple 80+ mile events, including one 100+ mile ride, which would have been doable on two batteries if not for the elevation gain. All of these rides had 8000+ feet of elevation gain so the third battery was absolutely necessary. I've got a couple videos on my channel showing highlights from those rides.
I like your videos 👍Now that you mentioned it. I work in a scrapyard, and a new college just started, he was told to take the batteries out of a backup rack, i saw a huge flame when he cut both wires at the same time, he`s pliers had melted, and were no good anymore. He was ok, but shocked.
I put together a nice second-hand Cannondale Treadwell neo 2 ebike i bought in pieces at a swapmeet. It had no battery and trying to purchase a battery controller charger from Cannondale was not an option. I bought new 18650 cells and nickel tabs and made a replacement battery that fits inside the frame tube. it is a 10 amp hour battery,10S 2P. Then i built another 10S 4P battery with 20 amp hours. I made an aluminum housing for it and insulated it well and mounted it on a rear mounting rack and soldered and fused everything. It has a 250-watt motor and bought a throttle, display, and 750-watt 12 MOSFET hall sensor controller and mounter controller outside the frame where the water bottle goes. I also filled the motor with Statoraid, a liquid that keeps the motor cooler since I've overvolved it! Besides seeing the controller it looks great and rides nice. I have triple the battery and a throttle instead of a Candis peddle assist which I prefer. I havnt tested my total distance range I could go yet, but I weigh over 200 lbs and am thinking with lots of throttle usage I should easily make 25 miles with battery left . I'm not $500 into this project and I have an exceptional bike. I had lots of fun wiring, and soldering everything nice and clean like I wanted it.
i have 2x 52v 25 Ah on my bike.. thats enough for me... charge is done also in parallel... main thing is both packs need to be as identical as possible .. means if one has a diode in charge port.. other pack also has to have one added to keep both voltages the same
More than one (maybe two in some conditions) is all you need. My wife and I have a folding bike with a single 750 watt motor. We live in a very developed suburb and a 10.6 amp battery gets us wherever we need to go. Save your money!
I have an Orbea vibe which has a battery in the frame and a rack for a second battery which only drip feeds the the main battery, it doesn’t affect the speed because it’s limited in the U.K. just allows you to go further.
Hey Mate! I just wanted to reach out after responding to another one of your specter videos. I had a long think about the frame flexing I mentioned. After taking apart the rear triangle three or four times from just wanting to know. I learned that the bold holding the front of the chainstay on was never long enough and over time would wallow out. I'm not sure if that's always been a problem or maybe a problem on the first specters that came out. I added longer bolts in and the flex is gone. Big thanks for making me think about it and tear the bike apart multiple times. I feel much safer recommending this bike to my customers or pointing them in your direction if they wish to buy online.
I have 2:20 amp hour and to 13.5 48 volt batteries and I would have more except the one I paid the most for I was charging it with a cheap charger and it burned up the DMs I think what a waste I got to take it apart
thank you for this video. i'm litterally days away from modding my heybike mars to multiple batts. i had been wondering if you could daisy chain a doubler into another one. now i know.
I have 3 batteries that are the same voltage but different amp hours. My question is would I be able to use a y splitter to parallel to batteries, then connect the 3rd battery to the 2nd lead on the balancer ?
@@Area13ebikes nice, though i checked their price on your site, 60 dollars a pop is kinda high, but if the quality is there i guess it would make sense.
I also have 3 bat. on mine that i store 2 on the back of the bike and when the main one gets empty i replace one by one....lol ....easy way !!!! ...33 mph top speed and +150 miles life !!!...lol
Next I'll wonder how to attach an outlet to plug in appliances so the ebike can be used as a true work vehicle for running power tools from; and have spare capacity to get back home after.
I have engwe x26 dual battery.. I would really like to get better pick up. Possible to add battery in series plus different controller for 60v output? The stock rear motor is rated 1000 1200 max motor. My goal is performance closer to the wired freedom… thanks
I already have a stock dual battery set up on my ecells super Monarch 1500. I would like to add a third battery as well. My question is on the second parallel connector: the controller plug on the new parallel connector plugs into one of the original battery port on the stock parallel connecters that comes with the bike and in my original second battery in my new third battery plug into the battery ports on my second parallel connector ports, correct?
With 2 parallel connectors you should not connect one into another , YOU SHOULD MAKE CABLE OUT FROM EACH BALANCER SHOULD BE JOINED INTO CONNECTOR WHICH GOES INTO CONTROLLER. I SEE SOME heatsink what means your circuits have voltage drops could be 0.3 to 0.5 V , if there is no voltage drop no heat. So two balancer with outputs connected together into controller can connect 3 or 4 batteries in parallel with only one voltage drop , by connecting balancer into balancer 2nd and 3rd battery will have voltage drop doubled, still few times less than only single batery.

Kepler owners put 2 extra 30 ah 52 V batteries on. Usually 2-30 ah batteries in a box or bag on the rear rack. 80 ah available.

I was wondering how 3 battery setup would work with an equalizer, now I know!! Great info
What's an "equalizer"?
@@danimaybgoogle "ideal diode" battery OR circuit.

Just run all 3 batteries in parallel and forget about these boxes- just make sure they’re all the same battery (v/ah) and fully charged first.
Wouldn't it have effect on the controller
Worth mentioning xt90s has a spark suppressor built in to absorb the plug in surge to system
I have 2:20 amp hour and to 13.5 48 volt batteries and I would have more except the one I paid the most for I was charging it with a cheap charger and it burned up the DMs I think what a waste I got to take it apart
I'd really like to got the STD guitar so I never forget my first girlfriend LOL
can you do a review on Revv 1 from Ride 1 Up? or what do you think about it? i need a more honest review TBH

Awesome, is this sold on Amazon?if not then where can I find the ones you used? @@Area13ebikes
Nice, are these available?@@Area13ebikes
@@Area13ebikes nice, though i checked their price on your site, 60 dollars a pop is kinda high, but if the quality is there i guess it would make sense.
I literally want to do something like this since I hate short distance rides
My battery tests out at 54 volt. Will a 52 volt battery work with this balancer?
Will you be getting the existing model back in stock?
Is is possible, safe to connect dual block connectors into each of the blenders inports to run two sets of two batteries?
Yes you can.
does more batterys equal more power & torque?
AH equals range
voltage equals speed
works for most situation
Yes, to an extent. It reduces voltage sag, and maintains the current, so it's like your battery is nearly charged for much much longer.
Daisy chaining.....COOL
If you got batteries w/blender and charging over discharge port - Batteries BMS don't control charging? I'm missing something?
Holy 💩 won’t all those batteries add weight and reduce the mileage they are trying to add to bike 🤨
what kind of bike stand are U using?
I also have 3 bat. on mine that i store 2 on the back of the bike and when the main one gets empty i replace one by one....lol ....easy way !!!! ...33 mph top speed and +150 miles life !!!...lol
How many ah on each battery? 48v? Thanks!!!
@@A5h3n. 15 ah 48v
Can I connect two batteries without that device he is holding and would it affect the controller
We'll finally have the battery capacity to go a lot farther than we have time for. Or go on a weekend trip and back before recharging.
Next I'll wonder how to attach an outlet to plug in appliances so the ebike can be used as a true work vehicle for running power tools from; and have spare capacity to get back home after.
More batteries the better. Heisen-burgers theory of distance uncertainty principally states; where bigger isn’t better-more is required!
More the weight more the draining
