What a cracker of a video!! I'm close to buying a GT and having the chance to look under the deck is priceless!! That simple fuse change/upgrade will potentially help many Wolves out there :) Would also like to see inside the controller box!! Keep up the fantastic work Ginger!

That’s called a HRC (high rupture capacity) fuse. The powder in it is sand, and it’s designed to extinguish very high power arcs, the powder in it is sand, and it helps extinguish the arc by melting and getting insulating the arc flash. They’re using those types of fuses in that scooter due to the power levels involved with that huge battery. Also just as a side note they advertise a 6.5A charger for that scooter when there is only a 6.3A fuse on the charge port. These companies need to learn their damn products! Good thing I saw this before buying one.

You must change fuse with the exact value for safety. Value of the fuses and type are electrically calculated along with the supplied circuit. Changing fuse with higher value is a mistake. Fuses is a last line of defence in a electrical circuit if they don’t blow fast enough when there’s a electrical fault 2 things can happen 1st more electrical components will get damaged or 2nd fire hazard can happen.

Always have an emergency contingency plan when working on your scooter. Shorts can lead to catastrophic battery fires. There was a post on the electric scooter forum where a guy was messing with a water damaged battery pack and started a fire. He burned his feet and threw the battery into his bathtub where it became a toxic sludge. Just food for thought

If you were only ever using the stock 2amp chargers then chances are that your fuses are fine. One thing that did happen to my Wolf King GT though that I didn't make a video of, the wires inside the deck that we're going from the charge port to the fuse actually came detached from the charge port because the battery was pressing on them so hard. One of the downsides of having such a tight fitting battery.

I like your super charger! I purchased a similar looking charger which has two dials, one dial allows voltage adjustment, up to around 125 or so volts, and the second dial (potentiometer) allows amperage adjustments, i think up to 15 amps or so. this charger was made by someone that rides and is a part of the electric unicycle community. Great video! The wolf king gt pro is presently my favorite scooter. I love the stability of the ride at high speeds. i traded my nami burn e viper for the wolf king gt pro and i am very happy with the scooter. i may buy a new wolf king gt pro, or possibly wait for the wolf king gtr to come out, which appears to have even more improvements, to the front and rear suspension. i hope the wolf king gtr comes with self sealing/self healing tires, and a thumb throttle! and i would really like to see at least a 45 amp hour capacity battery in the wolf king gtr. or even 50 amp hour would be even better. the range would be very close to infinity :)

The charger you have is called a Roger charger. It's literally the exact same charger except he employed the factory to add a second dial to it. After he did that then the factory started selling it as the standard format. 99% chance we have a charger from the same factory. 🙂 I agree 100% about your Kaabo feelings. I really wish they'd tried to fit a 40, or even 45ah battery in there.

Ceramic fuses are actually FAST BLOW fuses. The sand is there to help prevent deposits from forming, and helps the fuse resist heat. They are mainly for high heat applications.
@GingerOnWheels
@GingerOnWheels 2 жыл бұрын
We'll now I've got conflicting information. This is from an electricians site - "The sand acts as a thermal mass, to absorb some of the heat of the overloaded fusible link and slow down the melting. It allows transient overcurrents to be carried without instantly blowing the fuse, hence why they're known as “slow blow” devices."

First off, WOW! There's like NO freaking room in that deck for anything else, it's a giant battery holder! Double WOW, that frayed cable, YIKES. Good thing that fuse blew or you'd probably have a fried scooter or worse. I'm going to watch how well that uber fast charger works out for you. My battery is 52v 23.4Ah (Nanrobot D4+ 3.0) so that charger should work once its dialed in. I'm especially excited by using 1 charger with a single split cable and splitting the amps between the the 2 charge ports, awesome sauce!
@GingerOnWheels
@GingerOnWheels 2 жыл бұрын
The most I would charge on your scooter is 9amps. You've got a 14S9P battery. 9 parallel strands each capable of of about 1.3 amps max safe charge. Dial that back by 30% for safety and you're looking at about 9 amps, between the two ports. I don't recommend more than 7 per port.

The reason you're not heating up at 14A is by providing two charging paths, you've created a current divider. You're only pushing 7A per path. The pack can easily take this with zero damage, as a total of 14-15A is less than 0.5C. You could probably push 3C (105A) or better without seeing any effects on the pack.

I've melted the fuze holders with only 5amps on the Wolf Warrior 11+, it was pretty funny to watch to be honest. The fuze got so damn hot that it wrecked the holder before even getting close to blowing. If I had my way, the charge leads would be one gauge higher and use much cooler fuses that are rated up to the batteries true maximum charge rate. *This melting happened on a Wolf Warrior 11+ that had a dual battery install, there was no real loss as they were completely paralleled after this event so that everything happens all at once to both batteries at the same time and each esc too* *also the fuses used here are ceramic 240v AC rated, running them with DC they will have a slightly different rating, throw the model number of one into google and look around for a data sheet to see how they perform under certain circumstances*✌

HEY Announcement: August 01 2022 Since its release, some Kaabo Wolf King GT electric scooters have experienced serious battery-related incidents. Considering more recent cases resulting in fires, the manufacturer conducted a study. For a batch of 300 units of Wolf King GT scooters, Kaabo concluded that short circuits in the motor controllers cause the battery to fail, and installing additional fuses, replacing the stock chargers and discontinuing use of fast chargers would prevent these incidents from occurring. Would you still fast charge bro and what do you think about this?

Its right at the max allowable charge rate. 6amps for a few hours might even blow the fuse. I'd stick to 5 per port unless you've upgraded the fuses.

@GingerOnWheels

Honestly it sounds like you have a battery issue. Or BMS perhaps. If your fuse was bad then it would be an open loop which would turn the charger green. You can try unplugging and reconnecting the XT connectors from the battery to the controller to reset it perhaps, but it sounds to me like you might have a dead cell in your battery somewhere. Id contact your point of purchase for support first, if you mess with the fuses you might void the warranty.

Used the 6.5a charger from fluidfreeride on my king gt pro and it blew a fuse in the front port I believe :l Question ginger: I see people commenting saying you shouldn’t increase the fuse amps… I mean if I put these 8a ones in my scooter and then just use it on 5 or 6.5a it should be absolutely fine no…? I ordered the fuses great video man thanks

Check out PEVoutlet.com. It's my scooter accessory shop and I sell chargers that will work on your scooter with a splitter that run at 9-10 amps. Despite what you hear online that's a completely safe rate to charge your scooter at. Most lithium sells can charge at one C which for your scooter would be 35 amps. The wolf warrior 11 plus has 5 amp fuses for each charge port though so you can run 5 amps into each port safely.

Approx 0%. 'Fast chargers' do charge quicker than stock, but it's not anywhere near what an actual lithium fast charge is. A 35ah battery can fast charge at up to 35amps safely, but scooters and eucs consider 5amps a 'fast charge'. It's not fast compared to what the battery can handle, it's fast compared to stock.
@jaycarl1562
@jaycarl1562 Жыл бұрын
The faster you charge the shorter life of the battery. Charging up to 100%, or 84 volts is also something that would shorten the life of the battery. I only charge 79.5 volts or 80% most of the time. I give it a full charge when I know I need it. Also make sure that you never leave it fully charged for more than 24 hours and do not let it discharge under 25%. Store your scooter between 60 and 75%. Taking care of your battery in this way will get you over 1000 power cycles easily, not doing this and following gingers advice you would get around 300 cycles. The price we paid for this scooter, it's in our best interest to take care of it the best we can. Ginger could care less about how long your scooter lasts he just wants to be right about everything and will never accept or admit when he's wrong.

@jaycarl1562
@jaycarl1562 Жыл бұрын
Error 30 - communications/controller error. Most likely a display problem, a wiring harness or the controller. If possible troubleshoot with another display (if you have access to one) ..... Check your wiring harness for damage or bent pins. Pay close attention to the wiring as it leaves the controller going to the wiring harness, making sure no part of the wiring has been smashed by motor flex or random debris Check if you have extensions for the brake levers, throttle or gear sensor. Unplug everything before testing, then test by plugging each component individually in and power cycling the system. Check that you are not pinching the wiring leaving the controller, or the installation is causing the wiring to be pulling out of the wiring exiting the controller. Unplug all plugs in the controller as shown here, then plug them back in. Click here and follow step 2 for bypassing the LCD I'd unplug everything except the display and see if it changes the trouble code. Even to the point of disconnecting the controller from the motor (hall and phase wires) as I think if the 5vdc regulated power supply is being shorted by something, loss of communication will occur. EDIT: May want to check for 5vdc at an easy location like the brake connector (see wiring pin-out below) to check if it's lost or weak first...
