**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.

@FernandoLarez 2 года назад

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

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

@@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.

I tend to like the Ryobi One+ batteries, because they lift straight out. If you have room for them, you can mount them permanently, and they won't need to be removed, to slide the battery out. The current model adapter even has its own power switch.

@paulboutilier4928 2 года назад

My boy has a bigger power wheels jeep two person. All I did was cut off the wires from the jeep plug stick on some adapter plugs and plug it into my 5amp hour, 20volt dewalt straight. His jeep will hit 13km with him on it. He now loves it. You do have to watch that the battery does not run down too far, or the battery is ruined! I let him drive around 20 minutes or so then check the battery and charge as needed.

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

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!

@relentless944 3 года назад

I pushed 40v in my daughters Vette and I blew both motors in 4 seconds. Cheap to replace, lesson learned. No way the 550 motors can take 40v EVER! Maybe a 750 could take a few minutes but the best is using a dewalt 20v and its solid, cannot beat it.

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

@lovenfutball 3 года назад

Have you had any issues with your speed controller burning up. I have had 2 burn up and haven't pushed pass 40% power. Also have you had issues with the ryobi battery shutting down from to much power being pulled at once. I'm thinking about adding a accelerator pedal so that power is gradually increased. Thanks for the info

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

The Ryobi batteries do shut down if there are too many amps pulled. Happens all the time when I am edging my sidewalk with my edger attachment. I have seen it happen with my power wheel if I have it turned up past 50 and it has lots of weight in there, two large kiddos. Still on my first pwm controller no issues with mine. Not sure why yours have failed.

@malcolm3.0 2 года назад

Battery keeps shutting down did you find remedy

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

That means the battery has too many amps being pulled and it's shutting off from over current protection. Maybe the motors are bigger than mine and pulling too many amps from the battery.

The gauge wire is 10 coming out of the ryobi adapter and 12 going to vehicle motor. I also have a 30 amp inline fuse I am adding to the positive from the battery going into the the speed controller which is also 12 gauge. Do you think there will be any issue going from the 10 gauge in and 12 gauge out from the speed controller? Thanks

Both 10 and 12 gauge wire should be fine to carry the amps from the motors.

@p.emerson0864 2 года назад

Nice work and tutorial. 👍 In my case, I am about to purchase the Peg Perego 12v John Deere tractor for my grandson. It has the other electronic features....radio etc.... If I was only looking to increase the usage time, couldn't I just upgrade the 12v battery to an increased amps per hour rating? Like from a 8 ah to like a 36 ah without the possibility of damaging anything? Of course a longer run time would increase the heat on the motors. Any thoughts on that? Thanks.

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Running a larger 12v lead acid battery would allow for much longer run times. If the tractor has space for a larger battery I would do that! No damage to the radio lights and other accessories.

I been thinking on do battery upgrade but this seems more beneficial, idk what motors this torex have, all i know is that is 4x4 and runs about 10 mph, again im not looking for more power or speed, i just want more time, do you think doing what you did would give more runtime? Thank you in advance!

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

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.

@timdastis 3 года назад

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.

@jeremykreusel1319 3 года назад

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 года назад

@@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.

The Ryobi 40v batteries have a built in fuse and protection so I didn't use a fuse with my setup, I guess it depends on which battery you go with. Just remember any electronics, radios or lights built into the power wheels won't be able to handle higher voltage upgrade so you may want to unplug those to avoid damage. I usually run my power wheels at 24v or about 55% on the pwm controller. If you use a 20v tool battery you can run the pwm controller at 100% just fine.

@ajlinztaylor8331 2 года назад

@@Jasonoid Thank you for such a speedy response. I am using the 18v Ryobi batteries, which I'm pretty sure they do not have built in fuses. So do you think I should install the inline fuses or breakers?

@Jasonoid Sorry... Hopefully these will be my last questions. I should only need one breaker per system right? And should I install it on the positive line? And should it be between the motor and circuit? Or between the battery and the circuit? Thanks again for the help!

@dtredinnick5897 3 года назад

so we have the 40v kobalt jeep. this definitely goes faster. anything you suggest?

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

Turning it up high gives it an electronic burning smell, I'd keep it under 55% on the knob. I'm sure you can do this same pwm controller with your jeep and it would behave similar. My barbie mustang has 2 motors, does your jeep?

@CoolEditz Год назад

Well, how long did the motors last? Did you burn up any of the controls?

@Jasonoid Год назад

I run this at 45% to 55% on the PWM controller and it's still going strong. It's nice to be able to adjust the output for little kids (25%) and then turn it up with older kids (50% or so). No issues with the motors yet.

Hey there. I tired this and my control board popped. What board do you have or what board upgrade did you do? Thanks!

@Jasonoid 10 месяцев назад

My power wheels was an old fashioned model with nothing but a gas pedal and forward and reverse switch. No radio, no lights, no controller. If you have those fancy features they probably require a lower voltage and won't work with a higher voltage like this.

@nemanuel571 2 года назад

does it have to be ryobi? I am having a hard time justifying the 100+ battery. lol no off brand or is that gonna just turn it into an expensive fireball?

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Use any 20v battery and run it at 100%, it will go just as fast! Adapters are available on eBay for lots of 20v tool battery brands

@carb0nfiberkid 3 года назад

What about using a DC 48V Step Down to 24V 30A 720W Voltage Reducer Converter. The issue I am having is the PWM only controls voltage when under load.

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

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.

Stock gearboxes, mine has twin motors so less stress on each motor/gearbox. If yours has one motor just mod it an 18volt battery or 24 volt battery max.

@dustinwalker7471 3 года назад

So im goingbto do this mod but my son's utv is a 24v system and I. Going to Switch it to the 40v ryobi battery. Can I run it at 55% or can I run it higher. It has 2 12v battery in it now and has 4 Motors. The car you tested was only 12v correct?

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

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.

@rece_edstrom4050 2 года назад

What kind of gearbox did you use. Because I know if you use a 24v gearbox overtime you can blow them up. If you use a higher voltage battery.

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Everything is stock except the battery and pwm controller. Running at 55% or lower works fine, so a 24v battery would perform the same. No damage to my gearboxes yet and it's been going for over a year weekly.

I've noticed the Ryobi batteries have a built in surge limit, kinda like a temporary circuit breaker. If I ride on my kids power wheel (lots more weight than my kids) my battery cuts power for 30 seconds or something. The battery also cuts out if I'm edging my lawn and the blade gets stuck, seems to be a similar issue. How much weight is in the dune rider? Two kids or one kid? Does it do it with less weight?
