Thanks for this video Randy! Being a FB member, I'm sure you're familiar with my new T42. Sorry if I can't shutup about it, lol. Your video is going to help a lot on my rackbag battery after my wty runs out...
I'm wondering if there's a way to use only one battery pack at a time. Can this be done with a toggle switch rather than the DATEx2? If so, I'd love to see a video of how to hook up an external battery to my electric kick scooter
Great video Randy. Thank you for sharing. On your Eggrider, change the capacity to reflect that you're running two batteries. For example, 14ah + 14ah = 28Ah. That will help the eggrider calculate your estimated range 😎 I can email you screen shots if needed
I just installed a second battery 48v 20ah to my rideal. Combined with the stock battery 14.5ah, I now have just over 34ah. I’m using the eggrider v2 - do you have suggestions on how to get the most power/range/performance on the eggrider?
I hooked up dual 20ah 52v batteries to my bbshd. The difference in power is amazing. Two batteries can deliver twice the range or twice the power of a single battery.
He neglected to mention the original voltage and what the controller is capable of handling. Maybe a couple of m'ph and a bit more range, but a noticeable increase in torque.
Would having the same volt and aH battery be ideal when blending batteries? If I’d buy a small and large aH battery at the same voltage. Would the larger aH battery be used more , hence aging faster unequal then the smaller battery?
And, does the continuous amp out stack up with each added pack? Ie: 2 x 52v packs each at 20amps continuos output. Would that now be 40amps continuous output?
Great video, very informative. I do have a question regarding battery charging. The one device you said was able to charge, what about the charge connectors on the two batteries? Do they have to be connected or does it charge through the power outage cables? Thank you for your time great video.
I would love to be able to run a second battery on my opeak folding bike but I don't know anything about those connectors and whatnot. The wire coming from the motor has a black connector with 3 pins. I haven't seen anything with that yellow connector on my opeak
Nice informative video Randy. I've been looking at ways to add a 2nd battery to my Emove Roadrunner scooter (it has 2 controllers, so this device looks to be the simplest way of doing it).
I purchased affordable hoverboard batteries equipped with built-in Battery Management Systems (BMS) that match the voltage of the original battery, almost a fraction of the stock battery's cost. When the main battery's charge depletes, I switch off the main battery and connect my secondary battery. This method effectively doubles the travel distance. I've been utilizing both batteries for over 1000 miles without any issues. Therefore, I don't understand the need to consider a battery with a different voltage. Additionally, using a blender doesn't seem like a practical option, as it would be challenging to monitor both batteries while pedaling.
Great video! My question is, if I have 3 batteries each have 20A output, will I get 60A output? Because most say it will lean on one battery until they are all equal, then they run together. I understand that the AH's are combined, but I am also in need of the total Amp continuous out and multiplied. Thanks for the help.
@Randy Rides Yeah I was thinking that. But, my question still is will this combine all 60 amps out. You see, if I build one big battery 52v, 14s, 6p, then I get all the continuous output amps. But with 3 x 52v, 14s, 2p each pack has 20 amps continuous out. See what I mean. I just want to make sure I still get my 60 amps out continuous.
@@ytnaxmy guess with how the device works is NO you will not get the paralleled amperage output of both batteries while one is higher. To me it sounds like this is using diodes in a way to prevent the lower one from being charged by the higher battery. So I can’t see how the lower battery would be providing any output current if there is something isolating the lower voltage battery I don’t really understand the purpose of this device. How many people are deciding halfway through a charge they want to add a full battery? Why not just charge up your 50% battery and parallel them at 100% like any normal person would? Most batteries can be charged at 0.5C no problem ie 2 hours or so. If you’re at 50% then you should have no problem charging to 100% in under 2 hours (probably 1.5 hours since CC CV dictates the last 10% or 20% of charging slows down) If you’re in a rush use a power resistor or series some automotive bulbs to discharge your full battery while charging your 50% battery. Your discharger probably won’t be as powerful as your charger but you could still likely equalize them within an hour easily if there’s a time crunch. If you’re paralleling batteries you really shouldn’t be randomly pulling them apart and using them as a single battery while one sits. Ideally you’d like to keep their charge cycles identical so that degradation is the same. Paralleling batteries with different cells is also not a good practice unless they happen to be identical specs like LG MJ1 and Sanyo NCR18650GA or LG MH1 paired with another 3200mAh 10A cell like the Panasonic 18650BD. You want IR and capacity to be the same so there is an equal draw from each pack and you want them to degrade at the same rate. Pairing a high IR pack with a low IR pack means the low IR pack will provide more of the current but the batteries are in parallel so they will balance each other out at the same voltage. In my mind I think that’s going to cause issues when you are on the throttle vs off the throttle. This difference in IR could also exist in the build quality. Identical cells in each pack but one uses pure nickel and the other uses nickel plated steel. The pack made with pure nickel strips is going to have significantly lower IR, the same would happen if one had a series connection for every cell in parallel but the other pack had 1 series connection for every 2 cells in parallel. One pack using multiple 10AWG wires soldered to a beefed up main positive and negative is going to have much lower IR than a pack that just has 1 12AWG wire soldered to the main pos and neg without any additional beefing up of the nickel on those terminals. There’s so many variables that could cause problems down the road. Paralleling batteries is something that shouldn’t be done unless you do it from day 1 and use two identical batteries. These seat of your pants style mods are likely the reason why so many e-bike batteries end up in the second life storage market. These mods cause uneven wear on batteries and eventually a couple groups go wildly out of balance and the user has no clue why their battery now dies after 3 miles without even checking the voltages of each group. In a way this device encourages a bad practice instead of helping people understand why you should parallel batteries that are new and identical if you want to get a full life out of them.

Hey Randy! I just ordered datex2 to run my hailong g70 batteries in parallel 48v 15ah and 17.5ah.

@@RandyRides its why i am asking if there will be in the future a adapter that will? Cuz if there is one right now for a 30a why cant there be one for a 50a
Randy buddy! Big question,... So, if you have a DATE Dx2C and are running say a 48v 10AH battery and a 52v 14AH battery. When charging with the port, must you use a specific charger being one battery is 48v 10AH and the other is a 52v 14AH battery? Little confused because I thought you need to use the specific charger for the specific battery voltage and AH? Hopefully you understand my question. Thanks!
Response from Gareth: Inside the battery is a BMS, battery management system. You can charge a 48v battery with a 52v charger and when that battery is full it will simply stop taking a charge. So when you charge two batteries, 48v and 52v then when the 48v reaches 54.5v it will stop charging but the 52v will continue charging until its full at 58v. Ah is full tank size. 14Ah for example is 5 gallon fuel tank. 35 Ah is 15 gallon fuel tank.

Seems like a hassle and more complications to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe this will give you any more power (torque) or top speed. Wouldn't it be simpler if you just carried the 2nd battery with you and swap batteries when the first one died?
Not if you want to add a bigger battery than the style that comes on your bike. It’s also more efficient in the way that it works. You can pretty much have any sized battery you want with this setup. Of course it’s “easier” to just swap batteries, but this has a different purpose, especially if you want to add more than 2. Plus people like options. You can do it the way you want, but someone else might be interested in this way. I wouldn’t make the video if it was just a waste of money.
@@RandyRides Your point is understood but in my case the main reason I would like to be able to have an extra battery would be to get me back to my point of origin if I went so far as to deplete one battery completely. Even though these eBikes can be operated as typical manual bicycles, very often the geometry and additional weight of an eBike make pedaling more difficult than a regular bike. Three batteries to me would serve no purpose. A typical eBike battery weighs in the range of 10 lbs and to have 30 lbs of batteries isn't something I'd like to carry around with me.

When I did the PAS2 test on the Rideal, that’s what happened to me. Once I hit about 50 miles, I had to pedal manually, just because at the end of my ride I went to PAS5 to get home faster.

The beauty of the Rideal is that it is a simple but efficient e-bike. And I love that it has mechanical brakes too! I own 2 othe ebikes, a mid drive mtb with full suspension, and a yamaha civante road bike.

Right now I'm waiting on delivery of the battery blender and the adapter cables to go from the Himiway type connections to the battery blender and new battery's XT60 connections. Hopefully this will cure me of my "range anxiety".....lol.....🤣
That Data x2 is costly ! $163 US!
The only thing the rideal lacks is suspension.
The beauty of the Rideal is that it is a simple but efficient e-bike. And I love that it has mechanical brakes too! I own 2 othe ebikes, a mid drive mtb with full suspension, and a yamaha civante road bike. The Rideal will be the perfect addition for errands, rails to trails, and just leisurely rides using the throttle. For when i don't want a workout or sweating.
I don’t find it uncomfortable at all without suspension. I don’t ride off-road though, just gravel and concrete trails.
Wow, that’s great but overpriced.
We use genuine, certified parts made in the USA.
1.5mΩ internal resistance, 1.35 watts dissipated as heat
That is we don't need a heatsink !
250w motor dose support 52v battery?
