@DudeDad I have been looking for a video or website that literally explains step-by-step how to do this, and I FINALLY found your video! It made me chuckle for a couple of reasons🤣 One being that I am laughing at myself now for not thinking of your TH-cam page SOONER!🤦🏻♀️🤣 I have been a fan for a few years now, and I chuckled when I seen that this video was FIVE years old!!

Can't wait to see where the next 5 years takes you!
I did this with a 18v makita battery, thanks for rhe vid. One note too add though is although we added a 30amp fuse , the voltage controller came with a 15amp fuse inside, that poped pretty fast so i replaced it with a 30amp fuse. Just a tip for anyone looking to do the same
@BrandonT i have it before, (30amp) but it was the smaller 15amp inside the speed controller that blew, I put a 30 in and it has been running great since kids love it. Plus I added a led spotlight with light switch too
@BrandonT it shouldn't matter if the regulator has its own 30amp fuse. It will protect it. If its anything smaller it will blow before the other 30amp fuse. Depending on draw of power ie: weight and speed, uphill etc. If it dosent have a fuse built in the regulator I would put it before and that will blow before the regulator.
@@Stealydan10304 yo I’m tryn do this confused tho so on the voltage controller it connects to the battery - & + and what is that white wire in video on the voltage controller?
One thing to note with this set up. Be sure to take your battery out when you aren't using it or else the battery will continue to drain while the car sits and it will kill your battery completely.
As soon as we bought one for the kids this was my first thought. Our one already had variable speed so I just mounted the battery slot on the side and I take a couple of batteries with me when we take it to the park. Never needed the second yet thankfully. I was so worried I would ruin the thing but it’s easier than it seems.
Does your have a control box? The stock circuit board thing? Do I bypass that? Mine has high and low speed stock and don’t know if I’d lose that feature
I would consider wither putting a lock on the hood of the vehicle or putting the voltage controller inside some kind of lockable container where the kids can't just crank it up to the full 18v and hurt themselves. Other than that, what a great idea and video. I will be doing the same thing for grandchildren one day!
Yeah, thank you times a million! I just got a 1991 Suzuki quad off the side of the road and i need to rewire it to a different battery since the wires are toast. I ordered a conversion kit and was scared to put my 16 month old on a fast quad since almost every drill battery is 18v or 20v . Now that i know theres a such thing as a motor speed control it will be delivered on Saturday 😂 I cant wait to order the battery and see if it works! If not onto the next problem! But i cant complain since it was FREE, and its vintage!
You're going to want to add a low voltage cutoff, while the Milwaukee battery knows when it gets too low it sends that signal to the tool to cut power. The battery itself will not cut its power, and you'll over discharge and ruin the battery. Edit, I suppose it's possible the USB charger you have has a cutoff built in, but if so I would find it unlikely it's rated for 30 amps.
Great tips and the links in the description for the gear I’ll need was incredibly helpful! I’ll be using this concept to power the LED lighting for my beach cruiser bicycle lighting array.
upgraded my son's as well but after a while riding it the gear motors started getting to hot , so definitely have to upgrade the wheels motors at some point as well.
To fancy... Growing up my dad just ripped out the old battery and thew in a led acid car battery... Did I get burnes yes. But it was the 90s so that's how it goes.
Of course not, that’s why we modify it. The extra power will wear out gears and everything else faster compared to OEM. Just the fact that you need to add an extra fuse should let you know that you might be strapping your kid up to a fire rocket… AWESOME!!! lol
So my husband and I are literally going to follow your video step by step next weekend can you tell me exact name of the USB adapter so I can order it on Amazon and exact name and place for the fuse??? Please
Love your videos! I'd like to do the same to both of my kids' power wheels. As well as the 36v minimoto electric pocket bike I recently have acquired. But the bike is more for me until they get older. 😂 but I know NOTHING when it comes to electricity so I don't even know if it's possible to wire a couple 18v lithium ion batteries together. 🤷♂️ or fuse sizes to use.
Quick question, can the motor control go any lower than 12 V? I’m trying to swap this into a device that doesn’t need to move fast. Basically walking pace but I have no experience with electronics.
Hello. I have a Power Wheels Suzuki 94 model 86570 ATV. I purchased used at a garage sale and after contacting Mattel I found out that it has been discontinued. I purchased a 12 volt sealed battery and used some 10 gauge wire with quick disconnect spade connectors and was able to get it running. My grandkids were happy. I connected the two red wires from each motor together with the white positive wire and the two blue wires from each motor together with the black negative wire, but after a few minutes of use it blows the 30 amp fuse that I installed inline on the positive wire. Hopefully you can add some insite so this will work. Do I need to install a 30 amp fuse per motor? Thanks in advance
That's what I'm thinking. These things have some tolerance in regards to voltage, but not 50% higher that rated. It would be different if the speed controller was a buck converter that actually dropped the voltage. But its not.. Its a pwm. The way it works is to turn the full voltage on (in this case 18v) for a fraction of a second, and then turn it completely off for the rest of the second, and repeat that. If the 18v is on for 2/3 of a second, and then its 0v for 1/3 a second, it averages out to 12v, which is why the multimeter reads it as 12v, but its not really 12v. I think this project is a case of "It works as long as it continues to work"
Yeah, but the fuse gives you safety, such as if a wire shorts out or the motor does burn up, it will blow the fuse long before it starts a fire under your kids seat. @@TheJoeMoneyShow
Hi. Thanks for the great video .I’m trying to update my boy’s car. Do I need to keep the old controller or I just leave the new speed controller? Thank you
Dont cut it. Get a old charger phone plug. Cut of the prongs, or what ever its called the metal that goes into the wall. And Soder them on to the battery wires. And they will fit tight and perfect into the powerwheel battery plug. Or even drill into the slots with a small screw and leave them half way in. It will be so tight they will not budge. And for a little added Security just rap a little electric tape. So that the wires dont move around and cause the car to sputter!
@@chunkybones668 That sounds normal. There is no way the other guy is getting 4 hours out of 1 battery. You can’t even run a drill for 4 hours straight, let alone a power wheel weighed down with a kid or two.
@@StarFox31 mmm im a roof plummber i use 6amp drill milwauuke lasts atleast 6 hours of constant screwing in screws.so im sure a 10amp or even 9 amp would last easy 4 hours
We use a m18 8.0 hd battery and we get about 50 minutes steadily driving full speed with both kids in it. That is at the full 18 volts. I got a voltage regulator that I’m going to add so the motors don’t burn up from over working. That should also extend the drive time significantly
Nice video and thank you for the advice! I just got a really nice ride for my daughter and I'm going to order these parts.. just have a question. How do you charge the battery? Do you charge it directly in the car or do you just take it home? What is the most appropriate way of charging one of these? Being a 18v battery, should it be how many amps? 4A is enough?
The drill battery you will ultimately be using has a charger or should, you can purchase one and they are made to slide right on and charge up Quick. You aren’t altering the battery at all just the USB adapter
I did this with DeWalt battery. It runs, seems a little faster but doesn't have anywhere near the power yours has, just a minor change. Wonder what i need to do different
I blew the 12v RX11 control board on my sons car. It’s a regular 12v weelye. Should I replace it with the same thing or go for a 24v panel? I only blew it because I didn’t have to control Module and fuse in (ordered them both!) thanks for the advice!
I got my kid a jeep with a remote control because he is only 1. The battery burned out so I did everything like the video says but can’t get any control through the controller? Help!
It should still work if you can find a battery holder like this guy had with his Milwaukee battery. The only difference is that the Li Ion batteries will typically have longer battery life/better depth of battery discharge. But they'll still operate the same as they're both 18V batteries.
I did the same thing with a 20v dewalt but caught the wires on fire for the motor. No I have to rewire everything for the power, forward, natural, and im going to upgrade the motors.
I did this on my kids dune racer, and just like it was doing with the origybattery it's doing with this mod too, it will go for barely one minute and stop and not work for a month or maybe it will in a minute. I don't know what to do to fix it.
How did the 12v motors last against the 18v? I just did this but used a voltage regulator and turned it down to 12 volts. Burned up my regulator immediately. Now I just wanna throw 18v right at it
Yo dude dad i got a question bro hopefully you can help me out I upgrade my sons 12v car to the Milwaukee m18 battery the fist time i burned out the mother bored by connecting the Bluetooth control and it burned out the second time I connected my phone to play music and it burned this time the kids where playing with the car and all of a sudden it doesn’t turn nothing burned out in the mother bored the fuse is fine but the motors or not working I think I blow the motor
Yes. Many drill batteries claim to have over discharge protection however I understand that the tool itself in most cases regulates this and not the battery. I try to periodically check the voltage to avoid over discharging and usually when the car slows down from a full charge that is a pretty good indication to charge it. I wouldn’t recommend running it totally dead if possible. There may be a way to get a speed controller with a low voltage cut off I haven’t really researched that far.
Dude Dad ? Do you have a wire diagram I could look at? I bought the same setup but can’t get the throttle button to work on my kids 6 volt atv power wheel. any help would be great full

Did you find this out the hard way?
You can save it by using a good milwaukee battery most of the time

How long do the batteries last va the originals?
Bro is it any toy car I upgrade to 18v shud be OK right? Won't fry the motor or chip?😊
You don’t need a fuse just do direct connection to the battery
This is so awesome thank you so much I just installed this in my kids power wheel. I didn’t think that it was so easy.
My only question is
Doesn’t it overvolt the lights and media etc if your cranking the volts up
Did you get an answer to this? Want to know before I convert mine
Wonder how long it lasted??
I did this with DeWalt battery. It runs, seems a little faster but doesn't have anywhere near the power yours has, just a minor change. Wonder what i need to do different
Could you use a 48v and do the same thing?
We have a sky5506. It has head lights and an fm radio. Will this upgrade effect anything with those considered?
I recon yes cause your overvolting the lights and media etc
This is awesome 👌
Can you charge it with the wheel or you have to take out the battery to charge separately?
Where’d you get that usb dock for battery
Gonna do this for mine when he turns 3. Already got a helmet.
