How to run two batteries on the Backfire Zealot.
Рет қаралды 10,236
4 жыл бұрынI've run multiple batteries on a lot of my boards. The Zealot is the newest in the collection and I had to do it!
Here's the link for the style of cable you need to do this - www.amazon.com/OliYin-1-Femal...
Doesn't have to be that specific brand but you get the idea..
If you're interested in the Zealot you can purchase here bitl.y/Backfireboards and use JHZEALOT for $205 off.

Is there a way to maybe run a switch rather than running the batteries in parallel? I read somewhere that running them this way shortens the battery life.
@sottosotto4056 4 жыл бұрын
I currently have a backfire zealot and while it performs really well, I do find that the 96mm wheels are lacking when it comes to certain trails. I want to add 105mm cloud wheels but I know that this will limit the range. In order to counteract this, I want to add a second 311 backfire zealot battery. I have a question. Can you charge both batteries at once?

@onel0wcubn 2 жыл бұрын
Just have to take your time and try to organize all those cables as best you can. It's a very tight fit, but it fits depending on the size of your splitter cable. I also used a dremel to make a small hole for the cable to come out of then used some rubber sealant to keep it water tight.

You should tell the people that this is not safe.. running different batterys with different capacity in parralel may damage them. If you connect them when they dont have the EXACT same voltage (like for example one is full and one only half) then one destroys the other one and it might start a fire
@jonathanknight4107 3 жыл бұрын
I actually do this with my rc cars. Long as the batteries are the same it don't matter if with is full or not nothing is going to happen. I have 10 years with rc cars building and wiring.

How? It's not like you run them in series, the voltage is the same. They're in parallel so it should be better for the BMS's, they'll see less Amps.

odge balownee no. The batteries are both 50.4 volts. The batteries in parallel still are 50.4v that’s doesn’t change. Just the number of cells in the configuration. 48 cells instead of 24. 12s4p.
