    @papablueshirt Thank you for insights! If convenient, please share the dimensions of the factory/aftermarket batteries. Does the aftermarket battery fit in bike frame and OEM mounting bracket?

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it fits perfect on the OEM mounting bracket as they are the same bracket. So the bottom of the battery is the same size, I think it is like an inch taller, I will try to remember to measure when I ride tomorrow. Also, FYI I had to lower my bracket before I could get the OEM battery to install when my bike was new. It is real easy to do, just loosen the bolts a little and slide it down. So if it did not fit, you can lower it like I did mine and it will fit no problem. Hope that helps.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I took an extra battery in my rack bag, it worked, but this is so much better,
      Here are a few reasons:
      1. 2 batteries hooked together will go further than
      swapping as the bike sips juice from both which
      makes them run cooler so they go further.
      2. Since you have to carry the battery anyway, why not
      just have it hooked up?
      3. These big jumbo batteries are a pain to swap as they
      are so heavy and cumbersome.
      4. Hooking up the balancer is 3 plugs, if you can plug in
      a toaster you can do this mod.
      5. Ease of charging, I just come home from my ride and
      plug in both chargers and I am done.
      I swapped batteries on my Ecotric for almost 11k miles, I love this setup so much better. I always had to worry about my battery bouncing around in the bag, and this battery is way heavier.
      Either way, the extra juice is so much fun. I would skip the stock battery though, get this 24 ah that fits perfect and cost about 200 less ; )

    Problem i found with this setup is the controller in the pouch in the frame is for the front tire. When you connect everything together the back tire is the only tire being powere by the back battery. You have to wire the back battery to both contrllers like the OEM one is.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mine is wired to both. They both get their power from the same place. I wired it in to the same place as the old battery was and used a battery balancer. The balancer switches from one battery to the other as they run down, however the power is going to the same place as the original battery. It has worked great. I think I have over 10k miles on this setup. I just unplugged the original battery, plugged in the balancer and sent one wire out to each of the batteries.

      @papablueshirt  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      With the H8, the front tire does not spin unless you use the throttle. At least that is how mine works. It also works in cruise control mode. Did you use a balancer? If so, only one battery will be live at a time [the highest charged one]. Sounds like maybe you hooked up between the controllers somehow. Or They may have changed something on newer models. But all the bikes I add batteries to, I just unplug the old battery and put the balancer in between, then to each of the batteries. I have never had a problem like you describe so not sure what is going on.

    I saw in another comment but wanted to ask to make sure. You can put the stock battery and the new battery on the rack right? I think you said to loosen the rack and lower it. I wouldn’t have the same piece of wood as you but everything else would be the same features. Thanks I’m going to buy this bike today with most upgrades in your list

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, the batteries are interchangeable. The part you may have to lower is the stock cradle. When I got mine, the stock battery would not fit, so I had to loosen the bolts that hold the cradle and slide it down, then tighten them up again. It may have been that my bike the cradle was just installed too high. Once I did that my stock battery fit, and then the add on battery fit as well. Mounting the rear battery, you could do by just getting a pc of wood that fit the stock rack and mount it and then mount the battery cradle to that. I would suggest that you get the Velcro straps as well for extra insurance. It gives me peace of mind while riding. I just reach back and check the strap to make sure it is tight. They have never come loose, so it works well.
      You will enjoy the bike, it is a beast. And with the modifications I did it has crazy range. I am getting close to my 10k goal, so the bike has been a blast.

I'm 66 and wouldn't hesitate to do it again on my regular gravel bike today. My dad who was in his mid to late 70s at the time did the whole trail with me all 3 times, also on regular bikes. I don't think it would be an issue for you on PAS 3 if you can handle the time in the saddle that is. Pretty much flat, with only minor grades and lots of places to stop and eat or stay overnight. I'd recommend fall, or mid to late summer if you can handle the heat. Parts of the trail are frequently flooded in the spring.

    Ty in advance and love your videos.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว

      The balancer I think would fit no problem, so that may be an option. I have not looked at the wiring on the upper to see, so I am not sure. They may have both going to a splitter or something in the lower controller box. I will try to remember to look today when I ride.
      You could install like I did, and just put the splitter in with the upper controller. but all the wires would have to make it up there. But if you install with the upper, then all the wires have to come out anyway, so either way there will be wires going out or in.
      I think I have about 6500 miles on mine, I was going to install a little box, but never got around to it LOL. It is mostly all black, so I hardly think about it anymore. : ) Thanks for the comment, I will try to remember to look today.

    • @papablueshirt

    @BlueVsYou2 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It would be a really good idea to do a step by step setup video. I would love to have a visual reference as I'm not as confident as you when it comes to selecting the wires that need cutting. Another project I was considering was to put a switch on the bike that switches between batteries rather than having one potentially be under powered and drawing from the parallel battery

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, it was extremely hot the day I did this, so I did most on timelapse as it was just too intense.
      The mod is plug and play, so there is no cutting of wires. The balancer balances between the batteries so there is no problem with one be underpowered.
      I did the same to my Hanevear, this video is more of a step by step video. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/hloSGWomWSQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mGqRX74D7IZKFZvv
      Basically there is only 3 plugs to mess with. You find the wire that comes out of your battery. This plug goes to your controller. You unplug that plug, and plug in the balancer. Then the other two plugs go to your two batteries. The plugs only go one way, so it is very hard [if not impossible ] to mess up. : )

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว

      The bike has 2 controllers. One is low on the frame behind the front fender in that box. The other is in the triangle bag by the battery. I hooked mine up from below. I just basically unplugged the stock battery cradle and plugged in the balancer. Then the other two wires go to each of the batteries.
      You may be able to use the top controller instead, but I have not tried it. They both go to the battery, so I do not see why it would not work that way, then the balancer could go in the triangle bag on top with the controller. I do have a balancer on order for my other bike. I may try to hook it up that way before I install on my other bike as I would kind of like to know if it will work that way. : ) I am glad you like the videos. I have a few more upgrades coming soon. Thanks for watching.

    So Papa Blue Shirt. I’m checking out your battery list. Looks like the one from Panda is the same base as the battery on my H8. Is that right and which discharge converter do you recommend? Thanks for your reply and keep on riding!

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, unless they changed something the Panda Cycle 24 ah battery should fit. I put the 100 amp converter on my Philodo, and it is way more than needed. If I remember right the controllers said 20 amp plus or minus 1. So the most it should ever draw would be 42 amps. I am thinking a 40 amp controller would work and it would make it much easier [40 amp has xt60 plugs vs xt90's so no adaptors are needed] I put a 40 amp on my Hanevear, I was going to try it on my Philodo and forgot LOL If it was not buried in my Hanevear I would give it a try, but it was a tight fit and I don't want to go through that again. : )
      If I was going to do it over again, I would probably go with the 40 amp as it is very doubtful that both controllers would ever be over 40 amps and then you would not have to use adapters. I had an adapter go bad on me the other day, so it would be nice not to have to mess with that. If you go over 40 amp, they all ship from China and take forever to arrive. But I have not tried the 40 amp on the Philodo, so you will have to use your own judgement there.
      Here is the link to my Hanevear dual battery video, you can see the one I used for that. I also compare the size difference between the two. The link for that one is in the description of that video as well as the Hanevear list on Amazon.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it goes to both wheels. What I did is I disconnected the stock battery from where it was plugged in. Then I plugged in the splitter [single wire] where the battery was plugged into. Then the two wires went one to each battery. I believe each controller have a shared battery connection point so that is how each controller gets power.
      There is a controller in the triangle bag above the battery. I am not sure, but In theory you should be able to connect there since both controllers go to the battery. I have a new splitter coming for my other ebike. I may try to hook it up that way and see how it goes as that would be a much cleaner install as the splitter should fit in the bag.

    Love your Philodo H8 videos! I have a question for you. I was looking at your dual batteries on your Amazon list. I have a question about them? Do either of your batteries you are recommending fit the original battery mount on the H8? I note that you switched positions of your batteries due to weight considerations. But did you have to switch the mounting racks for the batteries themselves? TY and keep up the good work. Will buy off your Amazon links when I have the information.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, they both fit. I think the one listing has several different batteries, just be sure the one you get has the 5 pin base. The 24 ah battery I bought to put on the back, but was pleasantly surprised that it fit in the front. It has worked flawlessly for me. I just come home from my ride, and plug in both batteries. I set my WIFI outlets to come on in 2 hrs so the batteries have time to cool. Then they are both charged for the next day. I have crazy range now. I can ride for 75-80 miles on PAS 5 before it starts to fade a little. I am sure I could ride 150-175 miles on PAS 3. It has been great.
      Please note: When I first bought my bike, I had to loosen the cradle bolts that held my battery as I could not get the stock battery to fit as it was mounted too high. So if you find that the big battery is too tight to fit, you may have to do that. It is really simple. Just loosen the bolts that hold the cradle and push it down a little and retighten the bolts.
      I hope that helps, thank you so much for watching.

      It stays in the top speed range longer, I don't think there is any change in the top speed as the controller cuts it off at the same time as usual. But as you probably know as the battery wears down, it will start cutting back on the power available. Doing this will keep you in the top range longer.

    Hey I have a question for you. We have chatted before and I have the Philodo AWD just like yours . When you installed an extra battery did you connect them to one controller.
    I was curious if those controllers were connected together so you only needed to wire to one of them , ie the larger controller on the bottom of Ebike .
    I'm getting ready to order an extra battery or two and I'm going to use a Polar Bear battery Combiner if your familiar with those. Anyway if you have any input let me know. Thanks Randy

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Randy,
      They are both connected together, however the connection we want is the battery. Basically all you do is follow the cable that comes out of the stock battery cradle. Unplug it. The combiner will have one that goes out to controller, and two that go to each of the batteries. You plug the out to the controller into the plug where the old cradle was plugged into and plug the old cradle into one side of the combiner that is to the battery. Your new one goes to the other side. The plugs are male and female, so they will only go one way. So basically it is plug and play. It is a real easy thing to do.
      You will enjoy the extra range, I hope that helps : )

    Is there any reason you didn't go with a 50a balancer?

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Mine has two 21 amp controllers +or - 1. 40 amp controllers were all over the place when I ordered mine, but 50 amp would have to be ordered direct from China. I did not want to wait a month for it to arrive, so I went with one that was in stock. The later models of the H8 had bigger controllers, I am not sure what they were so you might want to check that to make sure they are not over 25. If not, a 50 amp should work fine. They also have 60 amp now, so you could size up a little to be sure. The one I put on was way oversized, but it has worked with no problems.
      I did put a 40 amp on my Hanevear as the controllers were less than 20 each. You can see a size comparison between the 40 and the 100, as there is quite a size difference. The 50 amp should be somewhere in-between th-cam.com/video/hloSGWomWSQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bBINT8Prm41LwuqV&t=149

      @@papablueshirt Thanks, I ordered a Zeegr S1 which according to the review video, it has two controllers rated at 21amps. I am already looking into the dual battery setup due to hearing reports of short battery life due to the two 1k watt motors. So I am looking to do exactly what you're doing to extend range/power. Right around the 1:15 mark, he talks about the controllers. Is there any benefits to going with a larger amp balancer? Meaning, if I upgrade both batteries down the road? Here is the bike I ordered.

      Nice bike, looks very similar to my H8, only with rear suspension
      : ) There is really no reason to go bigger than the controllers are as it will never pull more than that.
      A couple of considerations: Putting my big battery on the back rack did introduce a slight death wobble in the front wheel. It was not bad, but I had to be careful riding no handed as I could only do that for a short time as it would wobble. Funny thing, when I put the Heb alscape tires on the bike the wobble went away. I think the extra weight of the tire spinning solved the problem. It looks like there might be room on the top tube, if so I would put it there especially if it will be a big 22 ah battery as it works better to have the weight in the middle. I put an extra battery on my Jumbo on the top tube. I know, kind of crazy to have 3 batteries, but I always want to go further. It handles great, just have to be a little careful when I stop and lean as it is a little top heavy.
      I may experiment with a 4th on the rack and see how it handles. I can never have enough LOL

      I have gotten some that I thought run down faster than others, but it could be me. My original battery, in the dark I tried to put the key in the charging slot. That lit up my life LOL. Blew the fuse inside, so I may do a video on how to change the fuse in the future. I have noticed that sometimes I would buy a 48v battery and later go back to the same listing and they changed the listing to a 52v. I think the 52v will work as long as it is not charged all the way. I think sometimes people buy the 52v thinking it is 48 and have problems. That is the only issues I can think of.

    Any problems using that 120 amp balancer and did you notice the amps of those controllers in your bike?

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, it has worked flawlessly. I just ride, then come home and plug each battery into a charger. Then I go out the next day. So no problems.
      The controller said 21 amps plus or minus 1. I probably could have made it by with a smaller balancer, but I was in a hurry and wanted to have at least 60 amp balancer because of the dual motors. I could not find one that would be shipped in time, so I settled on the one I got. A smaller one may fit in the box, but it is pretty crowded in there.

    Pappa Blue Shirt why did you not buy the exact same battery from Philodo? I have the same second battery and if one is almost empty I exchange them.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A couple of reasons, but the main one was price. The original battery was 600, I got this one for much less. I also did not want to have to swap the batteries, you can go further with 2 batteries installed than you can when you swap. Plus you have to swap somewhere, If you carry the extra battery along, it is just dead weight if it is not hooked up. A bonus, is that it is a bigger battery at 24 ah, and this fits in the standard position just like the original battery. So I get the best of both worlds. A bigger battery at a price 200 dollars cheaper. If you want to check out the battery you can see it at: www.amazon.com/shop/papablueshirt

      You are right, it would be better balanced there. I may keep the one in the rear and mount another on top of the bar, as you can never have enough LOL I did that with my Jumbo and it has worked great. I even have room for a 5th battery, Crazy I know ; )

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, that is where I have mine. The 24 ah battery is bigger than the original, but it fits the cradle fine. I did move my cradle down a little when I first got my bike as it was mounted too high and I could not get the original battery to fit. So I just loosened the bolts and slid it down. So if you have a problem fitting under the bar, you may have to do that. But the base is the same as the original.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am not familiar with your bike, however the process is to get a battery balancer. The balancer will only have one battery on at a time. It will use from one battery, then switch to the other as it wears down a little, then back and forth until both batteries are depleted. So usually no changes are made to the stock controller. You just unplug your current battery and put the balancer in-between your controller, then to your two batteries. It works out great.

    • @papablueshirt
      @papablueshirt  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can turn off either battery if the battery has an on off switch. or you can just leave one off if you like, it will work either way.
      The blender will keep both batteries pretty close to the same level by switching back and forth. Both batteries will never be on at the same time, it will switch from one to the other. However they will be very close to the same power wise. It will use one for a while then switch to the other and then back again. This is how you go further with two batteries blended vs stopping and switching. Both batteries will run cooler so more efficient. I have put over 20,000 miles on my bikes with the blender, it works great. You can get a one for quite a bit less than 100 dollars depending on what size you need. : ) I think I paid 60 for my last one.

      Do you know what size your controllers are? The main thing you have to do is make sure the blender is bigger than the max draw on your controllers. If it is AWD, you have to add them both together. I put a 100 amp on my H8, but you may not need one that big.

      @papablueshirt  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, that would be an option if I was riding twice a day like I was. But I wanted to ride 100 miles in one go, which is hard to do with one battery. So since I would need to bring the other battery along, it is better to just have it hooked up. Another reason is two batteries connected will go further than swapping them as it draws a little from each one and switches back and forth. And to be honest with you, I hated changing these monster batteries. The Ecotric batteries were small and no big deal to change, these would be a pain. Now , I just come back from a ride and plug in both batteries. I get the best of both worlds. Thanks for watching : )
