Great narration, instructions, layout and video quality. The information and the testing is the missing info I needed to finish my project! Thank you!

You Guys Make the Beat Power Wheel Upgrade Videos!🥰👍

Dude, your a genius for even attempting this!

Just found part 2 great vid, will do this to my daughter 90s Vet

Fantastic. I had already purchased the speed controller and had wondered about the lithium ions being over discharged. Glad you made this video!

I just completed this upgrade and my twin 4 year old boys love it - especially the "Don't tell Mom setting". Thanks!

It must be really cool for her to have fun like that with her dad! Hopefully those positive memories will last a lifetime!

Thank you for this info. Just finished tonight with a pair of ridgid lithium ions. Great idea with the discharge circuit. It works great!

#1 DIYer & Dad of the year! Awesome vid with explanations without useless babble. Keep the ideas and vids coming!

Thanks for the solid info! My daytime job is teaching and I can tell you know how to explain stuff so people without much electronical knowledge, like me, understand. Also, tell your daughter she plays her part just as well!

Outstanding videos! Professional, fun, and most importantly educational!. Thank you for your hardwork on these videos and the professionalism in work and editing. I can not wait to duplicate this on my childs first power wheel! Hats off to you bud!

I just watched this and when I get a chance I’ll retrofit my granddaughter’s Jeep but she’s only 3 so, I’ll wait several more years. In 1714 John Harrison invented the H2 Clock and it exponentially changed our world. You and the other engineers that have preformed this retrofit are in his league. Tinkering with stuff like this keeps us Dads and Gramps young. Thanks. I’ll definitely wait till she understands how to use the controls and I believe the retrofit will be too powerful for the remote. Your video and others I noticed that the tires are well seasoned and have advanced inner wear. This is very informative to tell me that you all have also waited several years before popping the hood open. Thanks

Your vids are great. I know you haven't posted in a long time but hope to see more. these 2 really helped me and your presentation is great.

That's amazing how long they lasted...the batteries AND your daughter. She was a trooper.

And LMFAO, was about to say it had no load on it. Lol, can not make everyone happy. Always going to be someone smarter and they not only want you to be wrong but them to be right. I just love that your spending time with your daughter and actively showing her that any problem has a solution. With dedication and hard work any thing is possible. Stay safe brother.

Wholesome. Thanks for the breakdown! I’ll have to pick up one of those low voltage cutoffs for my build

This is awesome! I finally got all my parts in this week and was able to get it built today. I appreciate the tip to add the voltage shutoff to save the battery. I installed just one M18 5.0 and am amazed how long it ran.

I set the left controller button to 16.5. the right controller button goes to a Max of 10 and that's the one that I set to 1. I've triple checked all the wiring I'm using the exact same parts he used but I'm getting no juice to the wheels. The speed controller switch is set furthest away from the controller. I'm at a loss was hoping you might remember your install and have any tips for where I might go from here

Love your work! Great job! Clean install. Would love to see a runtime down to 13.5 volts so we can gauge the risk vs benefits.

Dammit lol I almost purchased the voltage cutoff module when I got everything else. Should have just got it. Thanks for the video.

Like the KMFDM sticker on the car 🤘

Great video. If you are not already invested in batteries, Ridgid and Ryobi batteries have built in cutoff protection making it easier to adapt them to the vehicle I run a pair of Ridgid 4aH at full chooch and get great runtime. I also have a setup with a 12v 12aH + 6V 12aH SLA batteries. Takes longer to charge, but much cheaper cells. I should compare runtime on the 12aH SLA vs the 8aH Li-ion Ridgid packs.

Amazing video really appreciate this. I installed a m18 on my sons lightning McQueen directly onto a speed controller without the low voltage cut off and now will be adding the module. Luckily my batteries are safe 😅

Been looking for just this info - or close. Thanks, and nice keep!

I just did this modification to my kids peg Perego gator and it worked really well. I am very new to anything electric and the video made it very easy. It was definitely way faster, way more powerful and the battery lasted very long. My question is do both batteries run down at the same time or does one run down and when that one is dead the other one runs down? Thanks to havocware for making this video and future thanks to anyone who can answer my question.

Man, she's a trooper for doing that endurance test!

Very cool. Thanks

Thanks for this video, I was able to upgrade my kids car to 18V safely. I had to use a 2 channel relay optocoupler since her car has led lights and a music player with a display that works on 12V. I had Ryoby battery packs but it's basically the same thing. Great Video!!!

Great video!! 👌📹

Just bought my daughter a 12v Mercedes AMG that has 4 motors (one for each wheel) from bigtoys green country. Definitely going to do this instead of buying a secondary battery.

I did the same setup but without the speed controller since the kids would never go back to 12V once they try 20V. However the cutoff board relay is made for 20A and this cars go over 30A when you press the gas. I recommend using a bigger relay.

You the man!

Thank you kind Sir for this information. Great to know

Well done sir... 👏

😂 Love all the potential criticism that would be made by Sabis, Great job on the full video explanation.

How did you set the controller voltage? Great build btw 😎😎

Low voltage cutoff board, other channels recommend a 24 volt relay in the wiring to prevent the burning up of that low voltage board. As others stated that they went through a few boards. Has anyone done this or had any problems with this low voltage board, thanks. Dad Hacks channel gives you credit for the build with the addition of the 24 volt relay to protect the low voltage board.

Awesome. Doing this with my Ego 56v batteries. Don’t think I’ll be able to go much more than 24v on the speed controller or I’ll blow the little motors.

@0:16 I was thinking the same thing But it's not an insult on my eyes but more of a complement 👍

Nice dude you get a sub!

I’ve seen other guys add relays to this set up. Are relays needed?!? I appreciate the videos and the electrical drawings. Has been a big help!

Awesome. Thanks for the info. The voltage drop limit is exactly what I was concerned about. The batteries are expensive and I'll still need them for my tools. But now I can justify picking up a few more for my tools. I'm thinking a flexvolt battery.

Don't think my kid has ever driven his car that long anyway, but I'll add one to my build this weekend.

Great video... You should do voice-overs

Hey nice upgrade and clean work...Would upgradeing to this battery affect anything if my ride on has remote control and led screen on it and lights ..?

Great videos! Got a used Peg Perego JD side-by-side and doing this conversion right now. What amp fuse did you use? Thanks!

Thank u I just this this exact same 2 my daughters daughter's power wheel with ure help can u please put video on how to ad lights

Hello, I'm new to wiring. What AWG are you using throughout this project? I believe the PW wires are 12 AWG. Molex connectors accommodate 14-20 AWG. Terminal block is 14-22 AWG. Ferules are 7-28 AWG. Help is appreciated.

Awesome....I have the milwaukee tools, and 3 power wheels....I always wondered the difference. I wonder how long the 9 amp would last?

great video I converted my daughter's Cadillac Escalade the same as the video and she loves it . I'm having trouble with the volt meter switch overheating do you have any suggestions thankyou in advance

I appreciate the detail. I did the same mod to my kid's Power Wheels and thought the low voltage cutoff module would allow me to safely keep the battery in the vehicle overnight...wrong. It must still draw some current even after it cuts off at 16.5 volts. It ended up killing a $90 battery. Do you remove the battery after each use?

Hi! Great video! I was allways concerned about connecting two batteries in parallel due to mutual chargings, but I see that you have done it without any hasitation. Have you noticed any issue with such parrallel connection later on ? Thank!

Hey man great work. I watched your video a few times then I decided to go for it. I have a older peg perego Polaris rzr 12 volt that the batteries quit charging on. I ordered the 2 Milwaukee 18 volt adaptors , voltage regulator, and voltage cut off relay off amazon and installed it like you did in the video. I’m running 2 18 volt 5 amp hour batteries. I got about 10 minutes of run time before it quit working. Not sure if I burnt up the motors or something else. I was thinking about ordering the 24 volt 550 motors on amazon. I was wanting to know what you thought about those motors. Also I was wondering if you upgraded any thing else in your set up. Thank you and any advice would be great.

Awsome video. Curious what the amp draw is under a heavy load. Such as off road up hill? Want to make sure i build everything to handle load. I assume based on your build its under 10a?

The battery hook up I will be using is from 2 busted rigid drills I got for a local repair shop that were just going into the recycler. Since I am using a stock rigid battery hook up and battery, do you think that it will have the over discharge protection built in or will still need to discharge monitor installed? Is that circuitry protection in that part of the drill or farther up the handle that will be chopped of?

Have you seen any of these power wheels blowing out the battery monitor? I saw someone that blew one, and i'm wondering if running on a standard 12v Power Wheels chassis with 18-20v could pull enough juice to blow the monitor out? The Amazon ones I've seen are rated at 20a. Just looking for your thoughts :)
