    Today we go through building and installing a LiFePO4 battery as a drop-in replacement for any Razor electric vehicle. The battery made is 24v, but 36v just requires 4 extra cells and a 12s BMS rather than 8s.
    Cells:
    a.aliexpress.c...
    Smaller cells:
    a.aliexpress.c...
    BMS:
    a.aliexpress.c...
    Charger:

    INCREDIBLE! but for those of us who are not electrical engineers or Nikola Tesla types (or like me, cant figure how to use a multimeter), could you give detailed instructions on how to do this build? I would happily pay you for it

    I'm wanting to build a 12s version of this for my scooter. would it be possible to shoot me a link to the bms and plastic cell holders you used?? I can't seem to find those. I found the cells but I'm worried I'll need to order 18 or so to make sure I get 12 good cells.
    thanks

    Great Video - I'm going to try it but I'm an English lit major with a desk job. Can I ask a question. I'm confused about what happened with the charger port. If you ended up bypassing it what does the charger plug into? Is it the old one (female end) and then wired right to the BMS?

    HE's back at it!!!!💪Hey stop making me wanting to upgrade the battery in my electric moped 😆... serious question, what gauge of wire are you using to connect each of the cells to each other.

    • @LordCurt
      @LordCurt  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Do it! That one was 14 gauge since it was only pulling 7 amps. I’m using 8 gauge for the larger builds and some proper busbars

    Hi, if I put a lithium battery directly into my scooter and plug it in exactly into the original wiring, why can't I just use the original charger?

    • @LordCurt
      @LordCurt  ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s a vary slightly different voltage, but it should be safe to do if you’re looking to simplify

  • @abrahamhudson198
    @abrahamhudson198 ปีที่แล้ว

    My son has an E300 and I’m assuming it would be the same process. Why can’t you use the original 24v charger? Will it not charge a lithium battery? Thanks

    • @LordCurt
      @LordCurt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same process! The original charger is just a fraction of a volt different than the new batteries can handle, but as long as the original charger is lower voltage than the new charger would be it is safe to use. That should be the case, so totally fine!

    HEY Lord Curt 🖐
    Are the 33140 Lifepo4 cells able to be spotwelded with Nickel strip ?
    I noticed you also used them for E-motobike, another Great build by the way.
    Are you happy - long term with these type of cells ? Im guessing they Capacity tested close their 15Ah rating ? 🤔
    Only asking as I may buy a few for my own projects. They look promising & "SAFE" 👌👍

    • @LordCurt
      @LordCurt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sadly, they can’t be spot welded with nickel unless you get one that has nicker strips laser welded on top. Some listings come with those. These have copper terminals, so without something on top it doesn’t make enough heat to spot weld.
      You get a few duds that self discharge, but if you voltage test them you can filter those out.
      Capacity tested well! Long term they’ve been working out well also.

      @@LordCurt cheers, yeah have noticed an option for pre-laser welded nickel strip's on both sides of these cells. They seem to have pretty good capacity vs their physical size, especially in Lifepo4 Chemistry hey. Thanks Kurt 👍
