Hi! that 67% increase in capacity, what means in terms of durability of the battery in one charge? I mean, at what mile range could last that battery? Will be more than 2o miles running distance?
What size is the battery ? L+H+W ?
Which battery is it on the link it shows 2 not sure which one I need to buy
@@dan9283I would also like to know the size/dimensions of the battery please
The cut when you started talking about the honeymoon analogy was gold lol.
Truly lol
I chuckled when I see these at my local Costco. Now you have me thinking about getting one and modding it. Totally your fault.
Perhaps it is insecurity that made you laugh. That changes with experience.
if you're old like me, you dont have to mod it, it's quite an adventurous bike and takes some time to tame before you go that route. The younger gen is more accustomed to this stuff, but with the speed hack, I dont really want to go much faster, I cant take a fall very well I imagine.
It's a great starter e-bike. I bought it because it's one of the few that can handle a taller heavier rider.
I'm just outside the weight limit of most of the less expensive bikes. Im considering a few mod options like getting a dual battery connector so I'd have even greater range(need it to compensate for weight drawing on the battery). Eventually I plan on getting something with a Bosh cargo motor, but they're pricey.
Had mine 4 mos and battery won’t charge. They are sending me a whole new bike so I figured I’ll just replace the battery like you show here. Thanks!!!
Been using CAOMM batteries in all my ebikes for four years now. they're good batteries
Yes, I like your presentation style also. I'm in the process of this upgrade. The links were extremely helpful in that aspect. Not a cheap upgrade but it will hopefully allow for those more ambitious rides without worry. The extra battery could be used for a second Bolt with a 12 Amp, Dual battery setup. Hmm ... Thank you, a lot! 🙂
Fantastic, thank you! I just did this upgrade, but I like your tip to reuse the factory charging port. Wish I'd seen your video first! I also liked how you weighed both batteries to show the weight difference.
Like your hosting personality. Keep the great content coming. AWESOME 👍🏼
Your videos are awesome. Very informational and easy to follow.
Wow, that’s great.
Thanks for sharing links to where ya got the battery, oh right, ya didn’t.
What was the before and after range?
We really need to figure out a new 3D printed battery and component housing upgrade.
Hi there mate finely a proper vid i have a windgoo and wonted 2 no if dyu and jetson bolt are all the same aprat from jetson bolt has 14inch wheels and 250 watt moter mine has 12 inch 350 watt moter standead no body got link for ppl who could make me a battry same size of original but higher voltage and ah i wona upgrade and go big or no point but wona keep it all clean and tidy tho like yours mate
A great video. These bikes are so moddable lol 🤣 new subscriber here 🙏🏻
I love the channel so much
I’ve been watching all you’re videos and really enjoy your work! I’m researching a upgrade for my new Dyu d3f (idk if it’s exactly the same or not) but I want to upgrade from the stock 36v 10ah to a 48v 12ah and what I think I learned is this; the engine is not a problem it can handle it, and the stock controller should be able to handle it as long as it says eg 36-48v or something similar.. is it something else I need to research before I move on and do the upgrade? Thanks!
Where can I get those wires for the charger repairs and connectors?
Very well done video. I wonder if the same could be done to the Lectric Lite e bike, nice bike but sorely lacking in the battery dept.
I will go beyond Jetson one day and lectric lite is a target, not enough study of the bike
@@YouTruther It'd like putting an electric motor and battery on a BMX bike is the way i would describe it.
@@pedrofernandez8729 sounds awesome, and I'm not quite use to these smaller bikes, I'm more accustomed to full size ebikes, use to use them to commute in 2008? been a while 😁😁
@@YouTruther yes, please do, my next bike consideration is the Lectric XP Lite!
Great vid, would you be willing to sell that cable you made? I want my bike to look stock but to be secretly upgraded
Id like to use the factory battery in parallel with the new one. Maybe mount the factory battery on a rear rack and connect it with a wye cord?
Two videos from now 😄
I'm going to put one of them cao mm Batterys in mine except I'm going to fit a 48v 14ah.
I want that I don’t need to cut any wire to change the battery..plug n play.
I love your style. Subscribed easily. What are you doing with the old original battery?
Thanks! Is there some trick to getting the battery brackets back on? I used the first method the easy method so the battery is backwards. And I pointed the cables up. The brackets didn't fit back on even though I noted their position when I removed them. I just screwed the cover back on because everything seemed tight. Just took my first chili ride of 2023 today, looking forward to many more with 10 amps of confidence. 🙂
Hi Yuthrtgher, great resource and video. Thanks for it! I try the link for the 36 10ah, but does not seem to ve available anywhere. Can i get the 48v 10 ah instead? I think the size kf battery is the same right?
Thank you for good vibes but i have question how many mails will gv with this new battery 🔋 and did the speed will different
Is there any reason you can't cut off both connectors and splice the battery to the charging port?
Working on adding a second battery with diode parallel connection to supplement the stock battery.
I have a video on that :) ruclips.net/video/eSXm1P-g0Ug/видео.html
Used A123 LifePO4 cells, 14s for 46 nominal and 49 full. Only need a 10a BMS because 46 x 10 is obviously way more than a 250w motor. The results? Less CAPACITY. Half of the stock, which is a big cost, but...since I built the whole battery, there is less than 3% voltage drop on full power and I unlocked the speed with Arduino code.
Why am I posting this? Because on stock when I unlocked, it still sucked going up hills. Also max speed was 18 mph. I am not sure if it has to do with the thicker gauge wiring i used for the whole battery and the lack of voltage drop, but the thing goes 22 mph on the upgraded LifePO4 battery and the 250w motor doesn't struggle as much. For some reason on stock batteries there is a voltage drop of up to 10% which obviously isn't that good on full power.
that and I can recharge the sucker thousands of times. Good for a 3 mile work/3 mile home commute. Also these cells can be charged quickly so I have it wired up to quick charge and still will get >1000 cycles at 95% DoD. 8 amps in = 20 minute from dead to full charge.
Ordino hack working in the haze ?
How many miles can you get on that new battery
I weigh 230 pounds and my pro only went about 8 miles total before dying with 2 uphill roads *bridges* and I want to try this upgrade but what will I expect for the new mileage? 6 more miles or so? And with it being 48V will the bike go faster? Or just end up discharging at the same rate as the old one anyway?
5-6 miles more is about right. 48v battery has even higher capacity, but you'll end up going faster and that drains faster, so it evens out. if you want a boat load of range, check out the double battery video, and then get one gigantic battery to mount outside and you can triple your range easily, or more.
I like your presentation
can you send me more specific information about the size or battery model?
it's a cao mm 36v 10ah on eBay, link should be in the description
Would it be better to mount the new battery on a rear rack? That way you can bring it somewhere to charge where bikes aren't allowed.
certainly possible, however I like using the rear rack as for passengers/cargo.
Where did you buy the battery and the connector?
So this battery will ultimately. Get me more range from the original one or will it still discharge at the same rate cause of the increased V? I just need to get like 5 more miles out of this thing
Haha...i like your style man 🤣🤟 niiiice and Thiiiiigt 😎
lets say the battery dies mid trip home. how difficult is it to pedal with just leg power. thanks
if you've got this thing tuned ok, then it's like a normal small tire bike, not going to be fast, but sure beats walking. With some experience, you know when the bike is going to die and at that point, you pedal assist all the way back, and that is a breeze, lasts a lot longer when you're helping the motor.
@@YouTrutherit would be interesting if its possible to mount the battery externally via cargo rack, and easily swap out the battery with the oem one so it can still be used while the other one is charging. Or you could bring along both and have more range.
@@brian3136 yes, one of the methods in a future video, probably next week
@@brian3136 I have two 10 amp batteries in a bag on a Schwinn seatpost rack, and a third battery in a bag attached to the handlebar. All 36 volt batteries. Next Spring I will upgrade to 48 volt batteries.
You can, but it's a slog. Mostly because you're fighting a bit of motor friction, doesn't just start freewheeling when the battery goes.
I have a swagtron envy electric bike that battery was only a 4.4 amp I got a 14 amp battery for it it is 36 volts too but I was having problems with it I think it’s to much for the motor controller at first it was doing good then it was keeping cutting off malfunction and the motor controller was warm or hot but I was only getting about 11 or so miles I should be getting more then that
Upgraded only the Battery to 48v - about 21 mph based on 180lbs weight. Is there anything else I can upgrade to increase at least up to 30mph. Thanks YouThruther. Old man but wants a little speed. 😂
LoL!..yes buy a bigger motor.😂
Awesome to hear, and 20 is my limit with these bikes. It will be hard to achieve those speeds, likely 60volts, new controller and motor. Maybe one day I’ll go all out on a Jetson, for now, I got all sorts of family obligations, and little time for mods outside some smaller jobs I have planned.
How much extra range you get?
Nice!!
More info on where u buy it from battery
Any ideas why my jetson wont xharge at all
Howmany miles and how long the battery last until it 0% dead
Does it use the same charger if you do the easy way or do you have to buy a new charger
Same charger either way
@@YouTruther Thankyou
Know anybody in California who could do the upgrade for me? I live in Chico, California; and can drive to Torrance, if you would do the work. I will pay what you require. Anyway, let me know ... Going longer distances is more important than going faster. Battery upgrade over new controller?
can you show how to install the AlveyTech throttle replacement
I need help like right now drop a video plzzz
Would you sell the cord the connect your battery to the original charging port so I do not have to make one?
I'll consider a giveway, whatever I have, in a future video (keep a spare for myself too), havent got the time to do much on this channel right now, lunar new year is around the corner, a lot to do family wise.
@@YouTruther would you consider making a guide of how you make it ?
Do I have to do any modification to the original case of the bike to get this new battery to fit?
Nope, no cutting involved
@@YouTruther I weigh 230 pounds and my pro only went about 8 miles total before dying with 2 uphill roads *bridges* and I want to try this upgrade but what will I expect for the new mileage? 6 more miles or so? And with it being 48V will the bike go faster? Or just end up discharging at the same rate as the old one anyway?
And for the jetson haze?
Where can I get this battery in NY?
Can you use the stock jetson charger on any aftermarket 36v battery?
Mostly, all the caomm batteries have the same charging port, as long as voltage matches, you are fine. I mix and match all the time.
Do you have a discord or email where I can contact with more questions about this? I don’t want to flood the comments lol
Since it is the same 36V can you run both in parallel?
If both batteries have the same specs(ah)Yes you can , if they have different specs(ah), No you can't.
does the original charger work for this battery?
Yes
@@YouTruther ty very much
What is battery sag?
Basically a dip in power under load
@@YouTruther ok how noticable is it with the upgrade compared to the original battery?
The blue battery r totally shite
Uu
У меня на kugoo v1 установлена батарея LiFePo4 20s 3p 32700.

I really wish people would STOP tampering with the batteries on E vehicles in a dangerous attempt to increase speed or range. Each product is SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND INTENDED by the manufacturer to use a specific battery type and number for safety purposes related to the specific vehicle in question and according to the owners manual the FCC actually has the authority to take away the end user's legal right to operate the vehicle if they make unauthorized modifications of any kind.
If range and speed are a problem then perhaps you should consider driving a regular internal cumbustion engine powered vehicle or a bicycle instead? These electric powered vehicles (razor scooters,electric go karts etc.) were NEVER intended to be used as an alternative to a pedal powered bicycle as an alternate means of transportation....they were designed to be relatively affordable riding toys for older kids and younger light weight adults.
