Stacyc Battery Adapter Upgrade

- Purchasing a large OEM Stacyc battery will cost $200, plus you'll have to lug the extra battery along on longer rides. If you already have tool batteries all you need is the battery adapter, a switch, and wire connectors. All this cost me $15 and I don't have to take an extra battery in a backpack on our longer rides. This upgrade was a win-win for us.

It would be awesome to see the inside wiring
That looks nice! I got that the positive goes to the switch. How about the negative? Where did you connect it? Thanks!
I split the negative into 2 wires and ran one to each battery.
I’ve got a couple craftsman adapters for power wheels.
What gauge wire should I look for on the adapter I get for the stacyc?
I don't know. I've got a wire bin that just has old wires from other things I've taken apart. I just tried to match the same size wire that the Stacyc had. As long as it's close I don't think it matters too much. I've had it set up this way for a year now and my son uses it a couple times a week and it's holding up well.
Nice layout..you ran all 4 wires to that one switch you added?
No it's a three prong switch.
@@Adventure72Awaits appreciate the response I'm I'm going to copy what you did
@@Adventure72Awaits is it a 3 or 6 prong
Hi, how does it get battery in ne neutral Position? You stick all black together? Can you discripe ehe wiriring a Little Bit More please? How is it working with a stop at low battery damage with the second one?
I spliced a wire into the negative wire for the original battery and ran the spliced wire to my added battery. I pulled the power wire running to the original battery and ran the power to the switch on the middle terminal and then ran a wire from the switch to both batteries.
@@Adventure72Awaits ok and in the neutral position it gets the power from the blue or green wire? This doesn't wort without the original battery in front right?
@@Mo-Moto it works without the original battery because both batteries have power and ground running to them.
@@Adventure72Awaits I watched the video again and then you said it again. in the neutral its not on. I thought the beeb of the throttle was in the Off Position. now its clear thanks.
I ran a similar set up on my sons and it pops the fuse when i turn it on. Power to power ground to group. I did not use a switch just planned to run one battery at a time. Any thoughts as to why it pops the fuse?
Hi mate can you tell me what the green and blue wires are for
Would have been better if you showed us step by step instead of pointing and talking
Next time...
