Converting Power Wheels to Run on 18v Lithium Tool Batteries

I\'m going to change the battery for an electric wheel today. powered ride-
From 12 v sealed lead power supply to toys with 18 v lithium ion power supply.
This is a relatively simple mod that can increase your child\'s BPRO speed by 50%.
Here is an overview of the toolset needed to complete such a project.
I don\'t always use all the tools, but some of the most convenient things are: tools: soldering iron, mini screw set, wire stripping pliers, curlers, mini pliers, magnetic part plates, multi fuse holders (absolutely critical), 30 a ATC fuses, 10ga wires, radiators (optional, but it helps to keep the motor cooler longer in service life), 18 v batteries (although you \'d better have extra batteries if you\'re doing this mod), or a bad tool, or an extra battery charger to save the battery outlet.
Very important: no matter what battery mods you ride on your child-
You need an online fuse.
Don\'t skip the fuse.
Whenever you add after-sales batteries to BPRO, you need a fuse.
There is a hot fuse inside the battery in stock, so replacing the battery requires adding an online fuse holder.
Don\'t do this if you\'re not sure about any of this.
Secondary warning: sad on the components of the stock drive system.
When you apply the extra voltage, expect the gearbox and the opportunity to wear out faster.
Reduce this by keeping the total rider weight as low as possible (don\'t let the three kids sit on this thing), don\'t move the direction quickly in motion, allow the cooling-off period between battery replacements to just relax and it will last longer.
This is the vehicle I am going to modify today.
The yard costs $17.
KFX electric wheel Kawasaki.
12 v pedal with Twisted Grip turbo throttle.
Children like the turbo function, which runs the motor in series at normal speed and runs in parallel on the turbo.
The donation section you need is also shown in the figure.
A sacrifice power tool that fits your brand battery (in my case, a bad Milwaukee flashlight, but an old charger base works as well ).
You need one more.
Use 18 v lithium battery tool battery or three.
This 9ah battery will run about 40-
Throttle time 50 minutes
Most standard packages are 2-
4 Ah, so you have to replace the battery more often.
Because I use them a lot every day, I like the Milwaukee M18 tool.
However, the likes of liyoubi, de Walte, and rigidity will also work.
Any 18 v and lithium will be a substantial upgrade.
Use the maximum capacity (ah) battery you can spare.
The smaller components you need are fuse holders, wires, welding, curling-on terminals.
First, I split the tool into two halves by removing the screws in the chassis.
Torx T10 screw.
The case is easy to open once the screws come out.
I align the socket terminals with the battery to check the polarity again.
Yellow is hot and black is neutral.
The standard 12 v color is red, the neutral color of black, but it is yellow for whatever reason.
Then use the soldering iron and pliers to remove the stock wire from the terminal.
The 16ga wire is OK for a flashlight, but if you try to run a strong motor on it, it melts and causes major problems.
Ready to cut the donated flashlight.
I picked my position right above the screw joint.
Cut it off with a saw.
The Chop saw cuts very smoothly if you walk slowly.
Emphasize slowly.
Cut too fast, it will hurt the workpiece at most, and it will hurt you at worst.
Drill a hole in the box to make the new wire fit.
I ended up using 5/16 bits, cutting/breaking more interior bits with mini pliers, making room for all new lines.
I noticed the polarity of the wire when I de-
The original connection was welded.
I then connect my 12ga 30 fuse holder to the positive side and my 10ga stranded copper lead to the negative side.
I prefer to run at 10ga, but 12ga is the best I can find locally.
Ordered 10 packs of 10ga fuse holders from Amazon for the same price as one from the auto parts store. I\'ll re-
When my Amazon order arrives here, do positive leadership with 10ga.
When I weld, I keep the workpiece stable with a vise clip.
10ga twisted copper wire is very thick welding material, so I used my big iron from pre-
Color the wires
Then, before welding, I carefully arranged the direction in which the wire needs to run because the 10ga wire is not easy to bend.
After cooling for a while, I started installing it into the modified flashlight handle.
I reassembled the battery socket, put the new wires in it, and screwed the box back together.
I then curled up some male spade quick connection accessories on the donation flashlight socket to match the factory wiring.
Now, KFX can run on this 18 v lithium battery pack or stock 12 v on the same vehicle line.
I can also move this battery to other vehicles with a female shovel quick attach fitting.
All that\'s left now is to put the battery in the battery box, connect the wires and test the function.
Everything seems to be fine on this building.
Get my little pilot ready and let him do it.
He stood up and tilted forward in an attempt to reverse the back end.
He just started to break it sideways on the grass, and it might drift on the sidewalk like crazy.
He is very excited, much better than the stock!
