This module solves the two big problems people run into when they wire a lithium battery in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-voltage cutoff.\u003c\/strong\u003e Many tool batteries don't have one. If you over-discharge a lithium battery it won't charge again and may catch fire. At 15.5 volts the LED lights up and an alarm sounds. When the voltage drops below 15 volts for 60 seconds the power shuts off. Make sure this voltage minimum is within your battery manufacturer's guidelines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft start.\u003c\/strong\u003e The initial \"punch\" a lithium battery sends through the motors, gears and switches normally destroys them. The module gradually applies power to the wheels over a few seconds if it senses too much amperage surge. A regular voltage reducer won't stop the initial punch and it limits top speed. With this module you keep the same top speed, and the wheels can still spin on pavement. In high traction areas the module limits the initial amperage surge that does the damage, and that's where you'll see reduced wheel spin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I also need a speed controller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This module does the soft start and the low voltage cutoff. If your vehicle came with a speed controller you will continue to use it. Adding a speed controller to a car that doesn't use one is optional, only if you want a variable speed pedal and braking: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mltoys-ride-on-speed-brake-control-v2-0\"\u003eRide-On Speed\/Brake Control v2.0\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work with the Titan speed control?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

Any higher and it will fail. On a 24v car, stay with an 18-20v tool battery through this module (although the car will be slower with less voltage).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich battery brands does it work with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePick your adapter when you order: Black \u0026amp; Decker, DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee or Ryobi. If you use your own adapter it MUST have 14 gauge wire or larger. Smaller wire can lead to failure or fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you use lithium batteries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cheap or old battery may swell or even catch fire, with or without this module. A ride-on car has a high amperage demand, and the heavier the car or the tougher the terrain, the higher it gets. If the battery can't supply it, bad things can happen. This module won't prevent that.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou still need motors and gears capable of 18-20 volts of power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe soft start is not adjustable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning 2 lithium batteries in parallel may overpower the module from the increased discharge rating and is not warrantied. Do not use batteries with variable voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure the battery holder and the module to the car with double-sided tape, screws, hot glue or whatever works for you. Bouncing electronics is never a good idea. The larger the space, the better the module will cool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithium batteries usually have a much lower amperage rating than an SLA battery. Stock Power Wheels batteries are 9.5 amps. The lower the amperage, the less run time you'll get, and increasing voltage reduces run time too. We still prefer SLA batteries for kids to get the most fun out of ride-ons for this reason.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot waterproof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnplug when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/products\/brake-reduction-module\"\u003eBrake Reduction Module\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ride-on-led-lighting-kit-for-12v-18v-or-24v-models\"\u003eLighting Kit\u003c\/a\u003e, using our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/voltage-reducer-for-led-lights-on-18v-or-24v-vehicles\"\u003eVoltage Reduction Module\u003c\/a\u003e.
