This is a project any parent can do! Make your kids old power wheels fun again by swapping out the stock lead acid battery for any lithium-ion tool battery! 40v down to 12v, any voltage will work fine! I will show you how easy it is during this video. All the parts I used for this project are listed below:
PWM Motor Speed Controller with adjustment knob and display:
amzn.to/2HwBR45
Battery Adapter for Ryobi 40v Battery:
amzn.to/35Fkvdd
Check out other types of battery adapters here:

**UPDATE: Putting a higher voltage into your power wheels could damage other electronics onboard (Radio, lights and so forth). If you plan on doing these modifications, UNPLUG those electronics before applying higher voltages. You will not be able to use those electronics while running over 14volts. The motors can handle the extra load BUT lights and radios could be damaged since they are only designed for 12 volts. ** Also, this modification works very well with 20v tool batteries as well, no need to go out and purchase a Ryobi 40volt battery if you don't have one.

For other ride-ons that have a circuit board (music, steering motor, R/C etc) can you install this as a "Boost" to the motors between the circuit board and the motors? You keep the original battery connected that way the board does not get damage with the increase in voltage?. Just an idea, I'm toying with this..im not an engineer

@@FernandoLarez I had a friend with a car that used a circuit board. He found a replacement one online that supported up to 24volts and then used a 20v tool battery to boost his speed. It worked really well. Just see if you can get one that supports 24v instead of 12v.

The pwm controller is only there to adjust the speed. If you want it to run max speed all the time your option works great! As for the battery running down too low. Some tools have low voltage battery protection in the tool, and some have low voltage protection in the battery, you can Google that to verify with your specific battery!

so if you're using 18v batteries, could you turn the controller up to 100? figuring 55% @ 40V = 22V so probably a bit overkill to use 40V batteries if you have some extra 18v laying around. My son's car has a toggle for high speed and low speed, but it also has a remote that has high, medium, and low. Since he's too young to steer and such right now I'm looking to upgrade as the low and medium are painfully slow for when he gets older.

@Jasonoid 3 жыл бұрын

That should work, BUT the benefit of the PWM controller is to be able to control the max speed for your kid. So if they are learning you can turn down the speed by dropping the voltage, if they have practice you can turn it up to a higher voltage/speed. Voltage controls the speed of the motors, amperage isn't that big to worry about. The PWM controller I used in the video is listed in the video description, I can't remember the exact specs for it.

You could run your torex off 20v lithium tool batteries. You would just need to double the current AmpHours available in your battery setup now. I would recommend purchasing a large 5/6 amp hour tool battery (or a few of them) and just hot swap them as needed. You can find adapters on amazon and ebay for many tool batteries. I'm not sure how 40v would work on that model, it may fry electronics that aren't good for 40v input.

You'd be safe using these same components with a 18v tool battery. I used the Ryobi 40v because that's what I already had for my electric scooter project. It's been holding up fine, I never go above 55%, nothing burning yet

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have a 48V lithium battery I used in my electric bike. The controller on your link says it can handle up to 55V yet your video description says 40V to12V. Is it safe to assume your recommended controller can handle my 48V lithium battery with a Max of around 50% ?

Should be fine! Enjoy the project!

@jeremykreusel1319 3 жыл бұрын

So if you are running a 40v battery at 55% then you are only pushing 24v to the Car. The stock motors only like around 18v max 20v peak load. So if you use a 18 or 20v battery you can run the controller from 50%-100# also note the motors don’t like running on under 10v. So no need to buy a 40v unless you already have it. Great video is just bought though that same style controller and adapter for a 20v

@Jasonoid 3 жыл бұрын

@@jeremykreusel1319you are correct. 20v will work great! The only benefit of running the 40v is that I get a longer run time because I'm running the pwm controller at half speed. So if there was a 20v 2ah battery vs the 40v 2ah battery the 40v would last longer. I already had these 40v batteries laying around so I didn't have to spend money. I'd recommend anyone find an adapter for the tool batteries that they already have. Thanks for watching!

@Jasonoid 3 жыл бұрын

Just make sure their isn't a radio or anything that will burn up from the higher voltage. My car was older and didn't have those fancy features. You should be able to run yours higher than 55% because yours is a 24v design, just set it higher and test it each time. 55% is stock for your machine.

@bartbarnett2811 2 жыл бұрын

So in my experience or lack of I find them able to put way more voltage to them if I wire the motors in series instead of parallel and for the brake put in some kind of resistance so that it doesn't just immediately try to stop using the break to try to stop it at 15 miles an hour seems to tear up the engines. Also I've had zero survive at 48 volts with car batteries but 36 V wired in series seems to be okay also 44 V using two car batteries and 1 20 volt drill battery. 😀 My ultimate goal is 30 mph so far all I can get is about 22. I'm going to put in a voltage resistor and slowly ramp in the 48 volts and see if I can get it up to 30mph.

@georgechurma7795 2 жыл бұрын

When you have the two motors in series you are dividing the voltage effectively in half to each motor. Additionally in series the resistances of the motors will be greater and reduce the current flow. Hooked up in parallel each motor will see 40V and resistances will be lower resulting in more current to each motor. In general, the lower current will result in lower speed output of the motor. Overall getting less out of the motor compared to 40V but it's also preventing the motors from getting destroyed.

So do you only need the pwm speed controller for brushless motors

@Jasonoid 2 жыл бұрын

The pwm controller controls the rpms of the motors. Without the pwm controller it would be 100% speed all the time. My motors are brushed so youd need a special motor controller for brushless motors, kinda like a rc brushless esc.
