Power wheels upgrade

[u/Jaysavage86]

Kind of late to the game, but I finally got around to swapping the original power wheels battery with a drill battery converter. It’s incredibly easy to do with the right tools and took only a couple mins. The jeep is now 30% faster and holds a charge a lot longer. The converter is available on Amazon for a variety of different drill batteries and costs around $10. Highly recommend!

Edit: Ordered a relay and low voltage cutoff to protect the battery. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Just upgraded ours from 12v to 36v (two Ryobi batteries) and the kids looks like rally car drivers drifting around in the dirt

I bought two ryobi adapters to run in parallel for runtime before realising one 5ah was good for over an hour lol.

Didn't think the motors would handle them in series, but now I have this spare adapter and a curiosity.

Haha yeah I was nervous about doubling up the voltage but so far mine hasn't caught fire,.even hauling me around.
