  • I like Ryobi ONE+ 18V power tools. I got a few 4Ahr Lithium batteries available. My old 12V GEL cell is dead. I'm unable to use it, so I think I can hack into the battery. It is a sample cheap conversion. You can buy DC to DC converter, power cable, and fuse holder from email. The rest I just utilize my existing Ryobi stuff. I wish you guys like it. Should you want to do it, please make sure safety first and expert. Cheers!

    I've seen a few videos on how to use the energy from ryobi batteries for DIY projects... But this video is by far my favorite, I'm going to follow this technique for my project as well. Thank you for making this.

    I have thought about running on Ryobi batts. I run my Watersnake on 16.8v from a Li-Ion DIY battery. No issues, but it does make the kayak go faster. I have seen others use the 20v tool batts on 12v Minnkota, no issues. They just go faster. You might not need that converter at all

      Any issues with them blowing up? Thats alot more power...

      @@okbis4941 I have not ever tried the Ryobi. But I have been running my 16.8v Li-Ion DIY batts for 18 months. Zero issues.

      I’m sure it would be fine

    I don't see the need for the converter. The motor will accept the 18v just fine.

    Good to know you are still kayaking and involved DIY projects. Well done mate.
    Anymore upload of fishing video from sydney locations.

    Thanks for the video! I got a nice 24V mink Kota trolling motor with a broken control box that I’ve been playing with but it’s so hard to find anyone else doing any tests like this with these batteries. I found I could get a 1 hour runtime with a 1aH battery on the 24V trolling motor when out of the water but there was so little current draw on the motor it didn’t tell me much. I wasn’t even sure the battery would be able to supply the amperage I needed until I saw your video. From what I understand the larger windings on my 24V motor should help provide more rotational power at the same levels of electrical power and ultimately be more efficient even though it weighs more.

    Seems good inside a tub of water but much less time when actually propelling kayak.

    Running late but was having same idea. does it run longer with converter or bare wire to battery?? was going to use two batteries 4ah one for fish finder and one for trolling motor. thanks for vid it can be done.

    Well done! This is brilliant! I have been wanting to do this. I was thinking of using a PWM instead of a converter. Anyone else have tried connecting 18v Ryobi PWM then to the trolling motor with out the converter?

  • @almighty3372

    Will this method drains too much juice from the battery and eventually shorten the life of the battery? There is no low voltage protection circuitry built in right?

  • @derekbturtlehuntin789

    The trolling motor I have uses reverse polarity for forward and reverse and I believe this happens in the switch. Would that have any effect on the dc converter being that it says never to reverse polarity in the specs, or does that mean just don't wire it wrong, and the the polarity reversal would only happen through the motors switch and not have anything to do with the converter?

    How hot did it get after running for so long?

    How do you find the BLE Battery monitor, do you use it on your car as well? Looks like a pretty good little unit.

  • @okbis4941
    @okbis4941 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    most of these 24v DCDC converters have an operating input voltage of 18v-35v.. are you sure running down to 12v isnt going to cause problems? I'm looking at getting one but can't find one with the right specs...

  • @BakedAndAwakePodcast

    I wonder if the motor wouldn’t work just fine at 18v…

      I took a break after I found skin cancer on my leg. It was an easy one, so no more problem now! I have been waiting for winter bream. Hopefully, I can post some videos soon!

    Thanks heaps for making this video, its actually what i was looking for. Have you tried it with an inverter to see if it can run higher voltage things?

    • @LoveUrLife365
      @LoveUrLife365 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would think putting it on a inverter on it would reduce your battery run time as inverters are will drawl power. You would would no be gain addition run time.

    Gday, I have same water snake, why I need the dc converter? What happen if I just connect motor to battery and use?

    • @cameranmanner4701

      Burn the motor. Ryobi voltage exceeds motor required voltage of 12v.

    Drop in a 18v weed whacker motor its a Johnson at. 18amps
