You can get some rubber calk or just a weather seal for the gap. Pretty sketchy to have it open. Thanks for the vid though. It's been a pain finding information on battery blenders.
Grind out a small "u" shape in the cover install a round rubber gasket around the cable and it will fit inside the cover. If you do it just right it will be a perfect fit. Nice install though.
Hi, did you ever find out an answer to this question? I orderd two ebikes that come next month and I dont think they have a blender or equalizer switch so the same question sorta. Can you use one of these with two 1000 w motors and two 52v samsung batteries?
I will, been planning for a long ride but the weather here’s been less than ideal. Everything has been reliable - I get about 40 to 50 miles on a regular. I think the best thing is I rarely get the battery dropping two bars to zero, which happened on the single battery. I definitely recommend it.
@@antoniosadventures1844 I bought the battery blender, when I install my 2nd battery, the screen doesn't work. But the bike still runs. Any solution ??
Maybe another controller. Convert this thing to AWD lol. Just kidding. It was actually left empty on the wiring diagrams at biggamebikes.com They have a version that has a charge function I think that slot was reserved for that.
@@antoniosadventures1844 hi! Brief update: I installed the second battery on my X-class 52v, and I am getting an amazing range. Thanks for your well put together videos on installing a second battery. Highly appreciated!
There's holes where you can run the wires for the 2nd battery into the wire panel. Why would you leave the panel open like that only screwing in 2 screws? Watch "Rider X" TH-cam channel on how to install 2nd battery for Ariel Rider X Class 52v. smh
Yeah. I think with a parallel connector. Thought there’s a risk in doing this. There’s actually some diy’ers who even connected a switch for both batteries - so you actually pick what battery to run. You can say I took the easiest route. 😊
@@antoniosadventures1844 i just got a triangle battery and i disconnected my ariel rider battery and just plugged in the triangle battery to the charge controller no battery blender and it worked fine. i think you only need a battery blender if u want 2 plugged in at the same time if you dont mind stoping to unplug one and plugging in the other then you may be good ps hows the heat on the blender for where u put it spark recommend that u have airflow for anything over 30 amp controller ?
@@MegaRancore haven’t really checked on the heat but I’ll do that next time I do a long ride. I honestly want a plug in and forget about it setup hence the battery blender but I’m sure the plug and unplug the 2nd battery will work just fine.
@@antoniosadventures1844 i hear yea im also investing in the blender as well im to lazy to get off the bike undo the cover plate unplug 1 battery and plug in the next lol just gonna blend them up :P
Thanks for these videos. They are helping me find the right stuff to order to get the max out of my v52
Why didnt you feed the battery wire through the hole on the lower backside instead of through the open cover?
Qhat amperage did ypu select for 52v

It's pretty simple so not sure what trouble you're having.
what amperage did you select on website for 52v battery blend
Update video please !!
I’m in the IB area if your down to ride on weekends
Def I’ll let you know! I’ve only seen a couple of AR’s around town.
@@antoniosadventures1844 doing a ride this weekend starting around rad bikes.. 11am sat.. sun probably 10am if your down
@@Whisperangeye thanks man. I’m doing volunteering on Sunday but I’ll try Saturday.
@@Whisperangeye I ended up doing some work at my parents house. Let me know again next time you guys go ride. Thanks.

Might actually do this with the good old Dremel. Thanks!
Do you have a pic of what you are talking about? i need a visual, lol.
@@Catamount19 No, but just buy a round rubber gasket of the size of the wire that you need to route and make the hole 1/2 that size.
If the other slot is for another controller does that mean you can run dual motors through the blender

I really want to do this to my 52v. Any problems yet. Would you recommend it. And will you do a follow up video. Please do
I will, been planning for a long ride but the weather here’s been less than ideal. Everything has been reliable - I get about 40 to 50 miles on a regular. I think the best thing is I rarely get the battery dropping two bars to zero, which happened on the single battery. I definitely recommend it.
@@antoniosadventures1844 nice. Plenty of room in the control panel for that blender or is it kinda tight
@@reyesfam619 not a whole lot specially if you’re using thicker gauge wires.
@@antoniosadventures1844 how many watts is your battery?
@@reyesfam619 40A BMS so up to 1500 watts.
the controller for x class is 35ah.would secondary battery be compatible if it is 52v 20ah?
I think that’s what I have.
@@antoniosadventures1844 I bought the battery blender, when I install my 2nd battery, the screen doesn't work. But the bike still runs. Any solution ??
@@juliuspresley9982 never had that problem. Are both batteries turned on? The triangle battery does have a switch.
@@juliuspresley9982 find a solution to the problem?
Is there an option for adding a third battery to the Grizzly?
I don’t have a Grizzly but I did see a version for 3 batteries on the adapter. It’s called DateX3 parallel battery adapter.
Hi Antonio. What about Speed, where you able to get some more juice out of it?
I’m still maxing at 36 on flat so I think it’s about the same.
any updates on the bike? how is the battery blender and everything else holding up?
Everything has been solid. Been busy so haven’t done any videos. But everything was plug play and forget.
What is the specs. of the triangle battery, would be interested in doing this also.
52v 20Ah with a 40a BMS. You can check it on my other video where I installed it with the seat. Thanks.
Any update on the performance?
Great video 🤙🏽. Some helpful tips.
What is the unused slot for on the blender??
Maybe another controller. Convert this thing to AWD lol. Just kidding. It was actually left empty on the wiring diagrams at biggamebikes.com They have a version that has a charge function I think that slot was reserved for that.
Did you need to get adapters to get the controller and stock battery to plug into the blender?
No. I actually bought some and ended up not using them.
Any update on your second battery? Are you getting a longer range?
I get 40 to 50 miles now. Initially I get 25 to 30 on the original battery.
@@antoniosadventures1844 that’s great! I’m adding a second battery to my X-class 52v. Thanks for your quick reply.

@@marcialever that’s awesome! I still didn’t get a chance to do a 100 - 0% run in my setup. I figured that’s a whole day thing.
@@marcialever what battery did you use?
What kind of battery blender did you get? 30 amp?60 or 90?
When I got it there was only one variant 30a.

Thank you for the video. Where did you get your hand grips?
Amazon lol. It’s a brand called letgoing. Just wanted something to complement the seat.
Can you use the 2nd battery even without the battery blender? Like connecting it directly to the controller?
Yeah. I think with a parallel connector. Thought there’s a risk in doing this. There’s actually some diy’ers who even connected a switch for both batteries - so you actually pick what battery to run. You can say I took the easiest route. 😊

Where can I get the exact battery any Amazon links or eBay?
🙏👍🙏👍🙏great video bro let us know the speed and range on the next vid
Yup. Time to put in some miles on this thing.
How much was the batter + the controller ? ... Great video BTW 👍
Price for the battery blender is $145. Battery price fluctuates in eBay it was $370 when I got it.
Should always power cycle your bike you're lucky you didn't blow all of it up
Any update with that battery blender, did you burn your batteries?
No thank god. Weather has been odd lately. Got about 40 miles on it with no charge. I’m on the last bar.
Do you unconnected the triangle battery when you are charging both batteries?
I was bold to charge both connected batteries at the same time. 😅
How much farther will you be able to go with the addition of another battery?
I’m running it to empty right now. I’ll talk about it on the next video. 10 miles right now still on full.
Awesome can’t wait
@@antoniosadventures1844 hey 👋 waiting on the update brother thanks 😊
@@mrnewyorkcity7 about 25 miles still 3 bars. That’s with tons of hills. This is taking longer than I expected lol.
@@antoniosadventures1844 👌 wow impressive....
How's the speed 🤔 do you get more speed or bout the same...
