Children's electric car - 50% more SPEED in 5 minutes

12volts seems to be a pretty common setup for little electric kids cars, comprising in this case, of 2 x 6v batteries.
In a DC electric motor, the speed is directly linked to the volts, so a third battery in series gives us 18v, and a theoretical 50% increase in motor speed.
I added this 3rd battery for a bit of speed boost with minimal effort (truly minimal as you'll see in the video.)
I haven't gotten the motor out to look at it's actual capacity, but it hasn't blown up yet.
If you blow yours up doing this. It's not my fault.

Did you change your controller

[@mattyg7143]

Have you tried running it on 18v when using the remote control? Mine seems to power the rear wheels ok at 18v on remote but steering wont work

[@rossj5347]

I don't have a remote sorry mate.

[@kikomi888]

How's your 12v controller on 18v battery

[@rossj5347]

So far so good. 24v was too much though.

What is the output voltage on the charger ? Ted

[@rossj5347]

It's got a 6v mode. I use that and charge them one at a time.

[@garyramsay2925]

Can you link me to the battery connector lead please

[@rossj5347]

Hi Gary. It's just two female spade crimp terminals and some automotive wire. There's already a jumper between the two batteries, you just need to make another one to go between the 2nd and 3rd battery.

[@crackmando62]

😂 if you need a link to a piece of wire ? probly best you dont tamper with the car at all 🤪

What speed did the car have before and after? Speed by the manual not by aproximation

[@rossj5347]

I didn't measure it that accurately. Went from a medium walk to a fast walk?

[@naushin178]

I have a 12v battery car. It runs for 10 seconds and there is a power cut, after 20 secs it starts on its own. It's a new car. Please help. (My son who is riding is just 10kg)

[@rossj5347]

Mate, that's a bit hard for me to solve remotely, and might be outside my area of expertise anyway, sorry.

[@jusmirkrantz8083]

I have the same problem ☹️

[@alyaktk2334]

No its rong tha circuit is 12v we give 18 v tha circuit is born
