This is a great video! I've been working on the upgrade and was curious if there was a reason you didn't just mount the battery mounts on the bottom yellow tray. You might have to bend the lip down but that shouldn't be to hard. This way we could fit bigger batteries in and the mounts are attached to something even more sturdy. Thanks for your thoughts!

@showandtelltechnology

The reason was for access to the buttons on the bottom of the batteries. If you mount it flat to anything you can't get at those.

Now this is how these should be made. If you need new batteries just buy and slide them in. No tools needed.

I watched your video on the Razor Quad 500 as well. So, do you think the controller needs to be replaced, if I convert it to two Ryobi 40v batteries or will the stock controller/throttle work? Thank you in advance

The 36 volt ones don't need their controllers upgraded. I ran my 24 volt quad on one 40 volt ryobi battery for a little while and it seemed to work just fine. I upgraded the controller to 36 volt just to be safe and so I could add some features.

Great video! I just had a question, do you need to match the volts of the batteries to the volts of the motor/controller? I see you are running 40v batteries while the motor and motor controller are only 36v. Will adding more volts make it last longer? Currently I have two 18v Makita batteries on my setup but I'm wondering if adding more will make it last longer? I'm assuming it would make it last longer but the motor won't go any faster than 36v.

@showandtelltechnology

I have heard that the controllers can handle much more than 36 volts. I've been running 40 volts for a long time with no issues. But if you do run much higher voltages you do run the risk of burning out your controller. If you want the battery to last longer you need more amp hours. The way to get amp hours is to wire your batteries in parallel. That adds together the amp hours of both batteries and the voltage remains the same. However if you wire them in series you add together their voltages and the amp hours stay the same. If you wired them in series it would go faster but not longer.

I am worried about different batterie voltage depending on charge level. Do both batteries have to have the same charge level when you put them in? Definitely would put in 30A fuse between the two red wires to avoid any damage to the batteries due to voltage imbalance.

I've had no issues with voltages. Typically I put in two fully charged batteries. But they don't have to be.

So does it just stop working when you run out of batteries? Because I thought it can drain your battery so much that the battery will not charge anymore? The reason why I ask is I did a power wheels mod with drill batteries and I needed to get a voltage cutoff switch to prevent the battery from going down lower than a certain amount of volts.

@showandtelltechnology

I am not aware of any damage being done to the batteries. My guess is that the bike will stop moving before the batteries are fully discharged. I've been using the same batteries for several years now and none of them have stopped charging.

So i just added 1 40v battery to my kids razor 500 quad thats 36v, BUT it keeps shutting off on full throttle....so are you saying by just adding another battery....it will stop doing this???? Wonder if i could add an 18v ryobi with the 40v ??

@showandtelltechnology

Yes. Two batteries in parallel fixes the shutting off problem. If you really only want one battery you can also use a speed control knob. I show this in another video where I'm working on a razor quad. But iI think the two batteries is a better solution if you have the room for it.

I bet you could add a car audio Capacitor used with subwoofer amps. That will probably stop the single battery cutting out.

I would also suggest soldering your battery wire connections and use some shrink tube over the connections. It will lower the resistance and also protect from anything possibly shorting out if one of those wire nuts popped off. Lipo fires go up really fast if something shorts out and hate to see your little one get hurt or burnt.

What's the run time with this setup? How will it hold up if ridden through a puddle do you think?

@showandtelltechnology

The runtime will be slightly shorter than the stock batteries. In my case I'm going from stock 36 volt 12 amp hour battery to 40 volt 8 amp hour battery. My small boys can ride about 40 minutes on a set of batteries. The real benefit is that you can just swap the batteries out and keep it running all day. We've ridden in the mud a bit and not had any problems. All the electrical connections are still well covered.
