Tesla Batteries in an Electric Skateboard!

Jun 04, 2021
Nick, remember yesterday I had to take that Uber to work? Because my car won't start! I almost didn't make it to work and almost had to take another uber! So this is a booster skate, it's a great thing. You might remember the Mario Skate we filmed a few years ago. And if I started working with this instead of this car, my problem is that this one takes me 5 kilometers and I live 15 kilometers... I saw videos where people improved their scooter by adding another battery. You want to choose the best battery, but the first choice is the lithium polymer battery.

The ones known as Lipo tyhlensty are famously used in Rc drones, just rc things that exist today. But what caught my attention was this Panasonic 18650 battery, what makes it special is that it is the same battery that is used in the most powerful cars in the stores. Yes, what was the name of your car? Geoffrey Geoffrey?! Ha ha! the only true king!!! So you have a p85d that still has 7100

batteries

inside it, which means you have 16 modules of 444

batteries

inside it. Oh! For a non-aging person, it's amazing that the batteries in this car are designed to store a lot of energy, but not very fast energy.

Ok, imagine that this glass of water represents a Boosted Board battery which is a lithium iron phosphate battery and that this bottle of water represents the Panasonic batteries found in Tesla cars which is an aluminum oxide battery, cobalt, nickel and lithium with water inside both to represent

electric

al energy. , for example, can pour out all the water very, very quickly. Oh, but look, now the glass of water is empty. No more water, and this one, even though it has a lot more water, it takes a lot longer than we put it all in because it can't do it fast enough to have this anxiety.

If I wanted it to pour water faster. As? I do it well? The answer is to add another water bottle to parallel mode. So what happens is you have double the water production with both pours at the same time. So much water now! Why use less water when you can have lots of water and produce it just as fast? If these batteries can really power this huge car so fast. Surely a couple of parallel packs on my upgraded board will be able to supply the power I need over a long lifespan. To get to work. Will you drive to work?

Hey, it's like 15 meters away... oh God. Hopefully, that works. My plan is to make a battery that matches the voltage of the booster plate, which is about 40 volts. You need to take all of these 10 and connect them end to end and then take the other 10 and connect them end to end. . that gives me two 10 battery packs that will each be connected in parallel to double the output speed and capacity. Here we have the battery and we have the control panel. This is where all the circuits go and when I pull them up, I see exactly what I'm talking about, so what I'm going to do is connect the batteries directly to the wires where they are located on the control panel.
Well I have to connect the cables directly to the board. You could destroy this $1500 device and I don't think the warranty covers this. What I'm doing here is making my own connectors that I can connect to the board itself. I made two connectors on one cable. This board replicates those connectors and I cut a hole across it so I can take these connectors that connect to the battery and come out of it And then I'll get the length right And then I'll break them off here and connect them to the control board which is going to be great and be able to pull this.
Look at it here, they are the two cables that worry the most. In fact, I'm going to cut a little hole to expose this wire and expose this wire from here. I'll be able to take them and solder them directly to the wire. This is actually the part I'm most nervous about simply because I'm officially voiding the warranty and hoping this thing doesn't break. I think it works, you think they're stuck there. . They do not come. There are no exposed connectors, so I'll cover it with liquid tape which is basically

electric

al tape but liquid. The last step of this mod is to make these small Y connectors with small splitters that connect the batteries to each other and to the support plate as a single power source.
What's going on? We have a problem that I probably should have looked at first. I also like the boosted bit board. Lower power consumption and then I leave it there for months. Over time, the battery lost its charge and now the battery charge has increased too much. I put the powered boards to even turn them on and if I connect them to the green one, the light turns red. Now it is flashing And there is a way to fix this dead battery problem. We need to rent a car. I stop behind Nick's car. I convert the motors into generators that supply enough power to the battery to revive itself and allow it to recharge.
Oh Lord. AH AH I'll try it Yes, it turned on!!!!!! The board has been charging for the last half hour. Now the moment of truth is to see if it turns on Hey, okay, it's green, green, that means it's on, will it connect? YEAH!!!!!! works! just do it. Now I have light. We fixed it Nick! Dude, I have some incredibly strong Velcro here. I just grabbed it. We have this guy, these two batteries are connected to each other and on the reinforcement plate. We're fine, it looks like we're working. How can you know the scope? Is that a little problem?
There is no way to know the range, the only way to know is to try your luck in every way and that's where I start. It's very close to Griffith Park in the Burbank Glendale area and I'm going to ride this bike path right next to the Los Angeles River. Now I'm going down I-5 and look at the traffic. I'm going the same way. speed!!! somehow I'm about two or three miles from where I normally start and I'll be in the middle of charging the onboard battery, even though it says I'm basically dead. This is by far the scariest part of this mod.
I have no idea about actively monitoring what batteries are, so it's a little scary. That's all. If I do one more step, I'll be actively monitoring which batteries are, so it'll be a little scary. That's all. If I take one more step. Come on Sam, remember what Bilbo said. A good half of this entire trip is along this river. I'm going to keep driving down the river as far as I can. So that's stupid. I should say I'm rocking it and we'll get through it. There is a worker. He could have stopped me. I think I'm fast enough to be able to get around them.
Just keep going. I think I'm fine. What a pity. The gentleman basically just told me that I can't go down this road because of all the flooding there is. All those things are what you have to cut, right? Yeah, he has a GoPro on him, so... Unfortunately I have to turn around and go back. I don't know how far. How far away are you referring? half a mile half a mile? And what happens if I decide to ignore it and move on? I'd call the police right now. Yeah, I thought you were having a good day, thanks bro, huh, that's unfortunate, I hope it doesn't add too much time to my trip.
It's a big detour. I don't know how much more distance this will add to my trip. But now that I say that, I have to figure out how to navigate the streets of Los Angeles, well, well, I have about nine miles to go and I'm going up a hill because the reinforced plate can't hold up with me. A simple hill that has enough load goes on for a few miles but I don't think it can have that much torque. I needed what I expected. I need more batteries and in parallel for it to work correctly. This is what I don't have.
I'm actually getting pretty good multimeter readings 35.6 and then 36 even for the correct battery. That means all the batteries are the same voltage and I still have enough charge. So why can't I? I get the current draw I want. Do I still have a few more miles left? I hope to get there. I'm about three and a half miles from the studio. But it's killing me. I think I was averaging three miles an hour, look at that, I'm so close to getting into the studio. I'm less than two miles away and I'm actually potentially causing damage if I keep driving, but I'll keep going just fine.
It's official. I'm on Hunter Street on the last leg of a 14-mile trip. It wasn't enough, but we still did it. We did it. Hey! You're late... Dude, it's okay. So I left around 9:30. Now I know it's like 1. In my defense, I had to fly the drone and check the battery. Basically, the second half of the trip I couldn't go more than five kilometers per hour, the last two kilometers I had to pedal like a normal person. skid this means I can't, I can't depend on it to remember for work the water analogy, these two represent the battery packs and this represents the power board battery.
The way batteries work is that they start at a certain voltage and then drop. in voltage until they reach a point where they can go no further, they fall into the reinforced battery plate. That's about thirty-three and a half volts, so once the battery reaches that voltage. Unfortunately they no longer work, two batteries I made. You can continue working up to thirty volts once we reach the end of this battery. We can't use any more power from these batteries, so I have this power that I can't use yet. So I need your help, I need to do this somehow so that I can use all the power in a smaller voltage range, is this possible?
I don't know if this is possible. What if I use some kind of converter to increase the battery voltage over time? Maybe we can find a way to make this battery system work. Thank you for your time. I'll be reading all the comments and trying to find a better way to make this reinforced plate. Or I would just find a way to do it with a wheel, is that possible?
