Just bought your kit, hoping this helps my voltage drain/% left to be somewhat more accurate and of course the longer range. I do get freaked out when the voltage drops super fast when it starts to get low. Thank you again for the product and video will report back! When I saw your kit and the battery for $260 total, it beats the pants off the $500 replacement battery cost!
If you have two motors, like the one I just ordered has two bafang 1000w and 2 52v batteries 22ah each. I notice from a review of someone else that it does not have this dual battery equilizer but instead the front battery drives the front wheel and the back drives the display and back wheel. do you think this would work on this set up to fix it so you can use one battery at a time for either hub or even both? I have 50 more days to figure it out before it arrives lol.. help if you can it would be appreciated.
A couple of questions - - How easy is it to remove the second battery to charge it? I assume you'd have to unplug the connector and undo the straps to get the battery out? Will doing that repeatedly loosen the connector? - Will the mod affect the waterproofing of the bike at all? I usually ride without fear in a light drizzle, would i need to be more cautious after installing this kit? - Will I need to keep both batteries charged up? The current range of my aventure is good enough for my daily commute, but I'm looking to extend the range for the weekend rides. Would it be safe to keep the second battery plugged in while discharged and only charge up the main battery? Thanks in advance!
The bag has a zipper that allows the removal without undoing the straps. The mods should be ok in a light drizzle but not any kind of significant rain. The balancer makes it possible to allow a charged and uncharged battery to be hooked up without worry. The recommended battery comes with a charger and both batteries will need to be charged independently. The connectors are robust and should remain durable
So with bike rack can you do a factory 15amp hour on front a 10 amp on top and a 20 amp hour on rack? Or not enough space? If it did fit what would the range be more or less? Very exciting!

The Abound has a direct connect to the plate pins for the battery and, at minimum, would require splicing. The same scenario exists for the Aventure V2
If I charge this battery while it is hooked up to the rest of the system, do you think it will charge the main battery also? I lost the charger block for my aventon aventure and I'm wondering if it will charge if I have this secondary battery charging while plugged into the bike
May I ask why you pulled @ 2:20 the guard cover off? There is no need to do so, the bottom battery plate will come right out regardless of this piece. Please tell people to reinstall it or risk damaging wires. Good kit!
My biggest concern is having both batteries plugged in at the same time and how that may effect the health/risk of the batteries. I also noticed you didn’t have both connected at the same time. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thank you for your help!
The balancer is meant to protect the batteries from what you describe. They were hooked up separately to show that they function independently and when both are plugged in.
We always recommend utilizing the same voltage batteries as the system specifications. We are aware of two customers installs with varied voltage (52V and 48V)
2 batteries now displayed overvoltage errors. Any ideas? Want to convert my Aventure soon. Had to get a Redshift seatpost, can't ride w/o 5000 miles now.
For the V2, Aventon made the controller to battery pin plate a single connection. There is no intersection. We are seeing a lot of this. Other companies are running battery signal wires through the controller forcing connection that requires more than pos (+) and neg (-) That being said, when you’re warranty is over we do know that cutting in the proper connections does work. We have had two customers solder seal in XT60 connections with success. Please bear in mind aventon will change internal components of single models without notification.
I just bought my aventon abound would this work on that model? I assume so as the battery's and components seem to be the same. Any thoughts would help! Thanks in advance!
We would suggest having a look at your controller to battery connection. aventon has moved to a single connection set up with no connector in between the battery and controller
will this kit work on the Aventon Adventure 2, is the wiring the same procedure on this video or do you have a another video that has directions for the AA2 . Im waiting to purchase if this kit works, please let me know thanks
Just to help me with following your directions when video is made can you possibly put more light to see what you are doing if you can , thanks for the videos.
So can you charge up both battery's with the standard charger with everything connected at once? Are you guys doing custom firmware's yet for this bike to unlock speeds yet?
Can both batteries be plugged in at the same time? Or is this battery only plugged in and used when the oem battery is depleted? As a backup back-up battery in other words. If they’re both being used in parallel at the same time and they’re both fully charged does the bike’s display show the combined capacity? E.g. 167%
@@ElectricAllWheel My son has a similar set-up on his Specialized E-bike but I think it’s proprietary to the brand. It reads 150% when fully charged. What percentage reading do you get on the Aventure’s display when both batteries are fully charged?
@@kev8839 100%. Is the second battery a higher rated voltage? If so the voltage reading would be greater than that of a normally charged 48V battery and this produce a higher percentage
The balancer just adds a layer of safety and convenience to hooking up another battery. As an example, If you add another battery with the same amp hour capacity, consider your range doubled.
Hey, I have an Aventon Level 2 with a 48v 14ah battery and a 48v controller. I want to add a 52v 20ah second battery. Would I need to change the controller to get this to work?
The controller power cables go straight to the battery pin connectors. We have not developed an adapter for this. We do not know the tolerance of the controller and it’s ability to handle a higher voltage (4V is minimal but it is higher) We would try it just for the knowledge, but to add an inline dual battery connection immediately would require cutting the power wires to make an appropriate connection for the balancer
I’m just wondering if the controller, which is paired with the 48 V battery would handle a 52 V second battery? I plan on using a Date X 2 blender so I don’t have to worry but all the cables or cutting any cables it should be plug and play with the XT 60 connectors. It should be the same controller that’s in the. Aventure no?
@@lawrencegoodwin2931 My Level.2 has xt60 connectors. But It was a display model. My buddies, fresh from best buy, level.2 did not have the xt60 connectros. The wires were directly soldered. He had no connectors to unplug in his bike. What made things worse, all the wires were black. So, we had to mark each wire before we cut them to add connectors to his bike. But for his bike, we just added and aux battery connector as he had the extra battery, but no longer had the bike that battery went to. So we added an aux battery connector to connect another battery when his main pack depleted. We dont hook them both up together tho. It is one at a time.
Hello, I have a problem with my aventon aventure 1,the display is working with some error, goin up to 20mph it it shows 3mph, do you know the posible causes of that problem and what to do to fix it? Thanks
This may be an issue with the hall sensor in the motor. Without general trouble shooting it is advised to unplug and the plug the motor cable to “reset” the connection.
$60. We have not done an official install on the aventure.2, but anticipate XT60 connectors at the controller as well. electricallwheel.com/dual-battery-discharge-balancer-kit-40a-aventon-fit/
The current limit is below 25A for a 48V system. We have specifically stayed within that realm to avoid any issues associated with high current high power e bikes.
@@ElectricAllWheel I'd say maybe cut. Mine, just purchased has connectors. It also has the controller connected to the top plate. You can barely get the plate out, maybe it out. You have enough room to get to the connector. There are the 3 screws, then two more on the frame bottom
The battery used in the video will add approximately 70% additional capacity. The range will depend on the usual factors, weight, terrain, riding characteristics etc.

I dont get it. If you're gonna carry 2 batteries anyways, why not just have another Aventon one and just swap it out. Why go through all this trouble that will most likely void your warranty?
The bike was not in warranty. Many people don’t want to have remove and replace. Two batteries in parallel carry a longer maximum sustained voltage rate “the sweet spot”
Because carrying a second battery is heavy. My level.2 batter is quite heavy and placing it in a backpack to carry around on a hot summer day is not comfortable. The aventon battery is also much bigger than the triangle pack he installed.
@@barrelracer318 Why would you carry it in a backpack, just get a pack for the rear rack to put it in. That's what we all do and it works fine. Plus you get more juice with a full sized battery.
@AnonyBass that's the thing. I have tried a few bags. The battery doesn't fit in the standard bags. Let alone allow room for other stuff. And those triangle packs are exactly the same as the stock packs except you can choose to have better amperage. I have a sfwt fleet that I am running a 20ah pack on.

Are the batteries hookup parallel? Wouldn’t it kill the oem faster since after market battery has less amp hours
It will uniformly draw the batteries down to the low voltage cutoff of the the controller. Think of it like a backflow preventer.
Will this fit the Aventon Level?
We have installed on a Level 1, but have not recorded it.
Are you charging the batteries separately using the aventon charger and then using the charger for the secondary 48v 10 ah battery?
The recommended battery comes with a charger. We charge separately.
