I solved the issue with the Ryobi 40v bms shutting off by putting two identical 40v batteries in parallel. That fixed it.

I never thanked you for this bit of information. After you told me this I used two 40 volt batteries in parallel on the MX650 and it worked great. I ended up making a video on that build too.

Did this upgrade to my grandsons quad. I use a 36 volt 20ah lithium battery for a e-bike and it runs forever plus the power is almost doubled. He loves it, charge it at night then run it all day.

Fantastic upgrade. I am actually looking to do the same on some scooters. I have a few already modified to run on 2 Ryobi 18V batteries in series. I designed and 3d printed my own battery caps. I then ordered the correct tabs and soldered up the replacement harness. All my Ryobi batteries (40V and 18V) are now charged in my shed which has solar input so it is free! So lithium batteries have to be balanced when charged unlike the NiCd batteries we grew up with in our remote controlled cars. The balancing is controlled by a battery management system (BMS). The BMS also helps regulate the amperage draw on the batteries in order to protect the pack. The newer 40V BMS is more advanced than the older ones. I don't like them because if they ever get severely discharged or get wet you cannot charge them ever again unless you tear them down and replace the BMS. I have not found an aftermarket BMS for these. My next step is to get a battery welder and order my own BMSs so I can build my own battery packs for toys. If you have any questions about lithium battery packs or need something 3D printed let me know. That $27 clip prob cost $3 in wire and connectors and 90 cents in filament to print.

Thanks man the throttle/brake mod is amazing

Did you need low voltage cutoff switch to prevent battery from over discharging?

Can you make a video driving the quad?

Can you share the link or details for adding a reverse? Thanks for this helpful video

That would require a new controller with reverse and throttle. It also depends on which model you have. The link below will have everything you need. I'd contact him so he can help you find the right parts. www.ebay.com/str/overvoltedscooters

Can you send a pic or video on how you mounted the battery and where? What did you make the base out of? Thanks

@@nickcosentino9476 there's a possibility of frying the controller. I've seen KZread videos of people putting 40 volt batteries into 12 volt power wheels. It goes like hell for a short period and then the controller fries and it stops working. You'd be taking that risk. But if you're thinking about upgrading those anyway it might not hurt to try it.

I have the 4 amp hour 40 volt batteries and I'd say they last about 30 minutes each. With three batteries and two chargers I can pretty much keep it going all day.

Is the dial called a potentiometer? Also, how did you fit 2 40v? Thanks

I only fit one 40v battery on the quad. I put two in the MX650 dirtbikes. I don't know what the dial is called. I bought it from the guy who makes the controller and I don't recall a word like that.

so, you mean if you another 12v battery they can handle it without making any other changes

If you run two of those in parallel, meaning voltage stays at 40v but MAH doubles, you shouldn't have the shutting down issue.
