This upgrade is definitely worth while. Let's upgrade this power wheels ride on toy to convert it to use a Milwaukee lithium battery. Links for a bunch of other brands are below as well.
Wiring Diagram: drive.google.com/file/d/1wEMQ...
If you just want to use the tool battery and not overvolt anything this is what you need:
Milwaukee - amzn.to/49ywJDT
DeWalt - amzn.to/4bB9s67
If you want to do what I did:
Milwaukee - amzn.to/49s9bAh
or DeWalt - amzn.to/3OCMnWG
AND
Voltage Step Down - amzn.to/3Su9ALQ
Relay - amzn.to/499La1k
Wiring - amzn.to/42C30r9
Electrical Connectors - amzn.to/49pcDfL
Note * if your application has reverse you might want to use something like this for the motor controller and wire the switch up to the stock in car forward/reverse switch to retain that functionality.

Adapters for other brands:
Ryobi - amzn.to/3HWjeSs
Ridgid - amzn.to/4bwPOrE
Kobalt - amzn.to/49vmIY4
Worx - amzn.to/3HWjpgA
Makita - amzn.to/3HWkpl8

Is there any video that walks you through how to wire this kit not just show what you did after it was installed?

@overvolted 14 күн бұрын

I guess i should make one. i have the wiring diagram in the description if it helps.

That would really help… this video doesn’t show anything useful other than the semi decent wiring diagram… there are multiple ports on some components, but in the diagram it’s just going to the components… doesn’t explain which port the wires should go into

Sorry about that. I did this for a friend and I am getting it back here next week so that I can do an overview

@WarMachine550 2 ай бұрын

So, if your car does not have a remote control, but DOES have lights, the on/off switch and hi speed/low speed shifter like your jeep, do you still need to do the dual 12v/18v setup like youve done here? Or can you get away with just wiring in the "WUMZIJ " kit you linked here?

@overvolted 2 ай бұрын

You'll probably bypass that high and low and use the knob on the speed controller for higher speed. I think if I didn't have the remote and mp3 and things then I'd just wire it in. The lights are really the only question on if they would run on the 18 volt directly. You could always step down to 12 just for those if you wanted. Buuuut if you don't mind some trial and error then you can give it a shot directly wiring it in

If i use your set up will i destroy my 12v circut board for my electronics like, reverse, forward and light system?

@overvolted Ай бұрын

You can choose what you want to have on the 12v circuit. I kept my remote and MP3 player and lights and stuff on the 12v and just put the motors on the higher voltage...so the motors are the only things at risk in that set-up.

@bigworm1978 Ай бұрын

Ended up picking up a motor controller with reverse and forward. There’s a switch on it for that however I haven’t tried it yet but will my remote work if not, is there something I can do in the wiring to make it work? Thank you for answering all my questions.

@bigworm1978 Ай бұрын

I got the new motor controller on. I have reverse now and forward I had to wire it into the switch for the factory harness But the only thing on my remote works steering

@overvolted Ай бұрын

The remote doesn't go forward? I'm trying to think of a simple way to get reverse working from the controller. It just reversed the polarity coming out of the factory controller so I guess if you had another relay with a normally open and normally closed side then you could basically operate the physically forward and reverse switch with the relay.

@overvolted Ай бұрын

But if you aren't going forward either you might want to check to see if you're getting voltage out of the stock controller when pressed. Also sometimes those controllers are funny there is a s button or something in the middle that you have to press before it will engage one of the functions

@plusdaddyyt Ай бұрын

So if u don’t want it to go faster just use first link ? That’s a 18v to 12v but will it still Protect My battery from Low voltage ?

@overvolted Ай бұрын

You would probably want to put a low voltage cutoff in line right after the battery adapter and before the voltage step down box.

@user-eq2ug6qt6t 3 ай бұрын

This doesn’t hurt the motors for the wheels right? Running on 18 volt?

@overvolted 3 ай бұрын

The speed controller is variable so you don't actually have to run it at full chooch. But that being said, technically overvolting anything is going to add some heat and potentially reduce the lifespan. Go too high and you can definitely hurt the motors. In this case, the 18 volts going between two motors keeps everything in check even when I have the controller cranked all the way up.

you listed a voltage step down. is that still needed with the $35 milwaukee kit

@overvolted Ай бұрын

Hello! You really wouldn't need it unless you had some more finicky 12-volt accessories that you want to run. Otherwise you can just go straight with the Milwaukee kit

@bigworm1978 Ай бұрын

Finally got it done, but I lost reversed. There’s no reverse now. Is that normal?

@overvolted Ай бұрын

Depending on your vehicle most of them just invert the polarity of the current going to the motor. If that is how your reverse setup works, it would not trigger the relay. BUT you could switch out your motor controller to one that supports an external reverse switch for less than 20 and wire it in to the in vehicle forward/reverse switch. I just put a link to it in the description.

No. You can just set the low voltage cutoff to stop pulling power once the battery voltage drops below a threshold. It doesn't lower the voltage itself

@@bigworm1978 oh that's true. I guess I forgot to add that to the diagram. Technically not necessary as long as you don't run the battery down.

@overvolted 2 ай бұрын

Oh dang! Sometimes if the voltage cut off isn't set right you can lower the voltage so much that the stock charger won't charge the batteries. You can generally recover the batteries from there by connecting The positives and negatives together from a working battery to one that has low voltage. Normally just for 10 minutes or so and the charger will recognize it again and charge it back to normal capacity.

Did everything as the diagram but for some reason everything works except reverse , what do I do ? @Overvolted

@overvolted 17 күн бұрын

Take a look in the description of the video I put a controller to use. If you want to retain reverse functionality. It has an external switch for forward or reverse that you can wire into the switch that's on the car. This will give you reverse through whoever is driving it, but depending on if the remote triggers that specific switch or not, you might not have reverse on the remote.
