Strange wire connection, I recon the efficiency should be like 60-70%. Would it be better to connect the extra battery to the main battery in parallel?
hi, I have a twizy 80, I am aware that a twizy on the move consumes more than the 2kW that you can load with your wonderful range extender, but I still wanted to ask you a question: have you tried driving the twizy with the range extender on? Is it possible to turn it on, go to "Go" and drive without problems? Sorry for the strange question but I'm curious ;) thanks
Amazing video my friend. Can you use extension lead cable for charging the twizy ? My socket is a bit far in my building and I suffer to charge it. If yes, what is the best specs , like 16 or 13 amp ?
not full on, but halfway on then yes. if the twizy is ready to drive than it won't work. just like when you normal charge. you other comment, i dont think this wil work. how can it see break input when you are giving gas? and also, it wil try to put energy back in the spare batteries, and they cant handle more than 15a charge current.
@@bentwizy7208 Maybe ! I'm still looking for a range extender for my Twizy (but DC to AC and AC to DC, it's clearly not the best solution but it's one solution)
@@bentwizy7208 That is actually not correct, you cant charge it on the move cause the sevcon denies it, but you can dc charge while driving to the rekuporation.
sure, but the batterys cost me 360 euro totaal. and the inverter was 300 euro. so a lot cheaper. i made this video but lost my twizy ben acount by mistake... f me right
@@bentwizy7208 - I don't know. I saw a movie on TH-cam and a few different fora had questions and discussions about it. Thought the panel could provide the extra power drawn by (some of) the mods, - the GPS, power for the phone and tablet, heaters, sound...
because, 1 there is no room for that. 2, you need the same battery as already in the twizy. 3, you need to be really smart in electronics to trick the twizy and still have the BMS work.
@@bentwizy7208 you can parallel in a DC/DC converter that delivers 57V to the speed controller . So you do not connect a battery in there directly. Quite like what you've done but with a 57V dc output to the controller instead. It will treat this charge as regen.
yes this could work. but you need 2000watt output power, then you will be fine. nut gas is 2 euro a liter. the only reason i buy a twizy is for the cheap running cost. i use solar to charge my twizy and my extra battery. works great.
If this is the newest model then they still haven't upgraded very well. After so many critics they still haven't made proper windows. They will keep playing with this selfishness behavior!
Renault has definitely neglected the Twizy and it is infuriating. But it's also infuriating that a 2012 EV microcar is still competitive compared to other new microcars like the Citroen Ami. Honestly, all these heavy quadricycles can't compare to what China has in store.

Perfect idea Ben, congratulation. Hope more people will watch this.
That is obvius ! Very convenient action of yours
Bonjour ,jai une question comment charger vous les 2 batterie. Je le vois pas dans la video
저도 보조충전지 대용량 6~8kw정도 주행중 충전이 가능헸으면 해서 찾고 있었는데 대단하네요^^
Do you have list for the parts ?
Can you drive and charge at the same time?
Hi! Thank you for your video and sharing your idea! Can I ask you exactly the details of the batteries are you using? Thank you!
لو كانت هذه بدون محرك فقط بالقدمين مثل الدراجة الهوائية حتى تكون رياضية وصحية... ♥️
Can you drive it while charging? Also put a link of extra battery please, I need it for my twizy.
hello, can you please provide a list of parts, a wiring diagram, I would like to make this modification according to you, thank you 👍

Hi, NO that is not possible at all. and it wil never be sadly.
Amazing video my friend. Can you use extension lead cable for charging the twizy ? My socket is a bit far in my building and I suffer to charge it. If yes, what is the best specs , like 16 or 13 amp ?
Hi, will it charge the main battery if the charge lid is closed and the ignition is on???
not full on, but halfway on then yes. if the twizy is ready to drive than it won't work. just like when you normal charge. you other comment, i dont think this wil work. how can it see break input when you are giving gas? and also, it wil try to put energy back in the spare batteries, and they cant handle more than 15a charge current.

Hello
Can the vehicle be charged while travelling?
no
Great idea ! I've a Twizy 80 Cargo and I'm very interested by your range extender.
are you going to build one for yourself?
@@bentwizy7208 Maybe ! I'm still looking for a range extender for my Twizy (but DC to AC and AC to DC, it's clearly not the best solution but it's one solution)
@@MarcPaal sadly its to only solution in case of the twizy.

Small generator? On petrol..
Honda inverter can be good to with exaust
How much.is the price?
This is more a mobile, built-in, charger than a range extender, but still cool nonetheless.
Would it be easier to add a bluetti battery?
sure, but the batterys cost me 360 euro totaal. and the inverter was 300 euro. so a lot cheaper. i made this video but lost my twizy ben acount by mistake... f me right
This looks like a Cargo Edition.
Very cool mod!
BTW, - ever thought about a solar panel on the roof? It has been done by several owners.
hi, yes thought about it but it makes no sense monney-wise. and where do you connect it to?
@@bentwizy7208 - I don't know. I saw a movie on TH-cam and a few different fora had questions and discussions about it.

@@acresir yeah you can use the solar pannel for the 12v battery mayby. but i dont see the point.
Why you just donc plug a second battery in parallel to the genuine battery?
because, 1 there is no room for that. 2, you need the same battery as already in the twizy. 3, you need to be really smart in electronics to trick the twizy and still have the BMS work.

@@bjrngutubakken53 That was really smart. Have U done this mod to your own Twizy?
Am interested
WOW thnxs!! amazing idea
Can you charge it while driving it
nope
Yes, just tow a coal fired power station.
Real daily range?
driving around 50kmh its about 80km in normal wheater. driver 80 makes a close to 45/50 km.
@@bentwizy7208 thanks for answer 👍
Hola me puedes explicar cómo es este sistema y como funciona, muchas gracias si tienes los planos para el montaje
How much charge % do you gain?
about 38 percent
How much
Hi mate, can I ask you whats the system you have at the door locks? It looks like very nice :)
Why not put a generator instead? Looks like there is enough room to fit one of little honda's.
yes this could work. but you need 2000watt output power, then you will be fine. nut gas is 2 euro a liter. the only reason i buy a twizy is for the cheap running cost. i use solar to charge my twizy and my extra battery. works great.
I want to purchase this
Kll lile to see a solution where the auxiliary battery directly powers the car instead of charging it!
If this is the newest model then they still haven't upgraded very well. After so many critics they still haven't made proper windows. They will keep playing with this selfishness behavior!

It all m🎉 birthday

very smart.... i like lol
لا إله إلا اللّٰه.🤍
There are many. Google it.
Flying spaghetti monster is my GOD
You are wrong, there are more gods than your god of explosions and terrorist acts.
Or just don't buy one because the range is crap.
