Upgrade for Power Wheels kids riding toy cars/trucks to use Dewalt or Milwaukee batteries. Makes them really fast.What is a power wheels adapter? I like it.
What is a power wheels adapter? I like it.
Looks like pretty much every brand battery is available. I have mostly Rigid. It's available for those tooUpgrade for Power Wheels kids riding toy cars/trucks to use Dewalt or Milwaukee batteries. Makes them really fast.
If you have a kid or grand kid that rides a power wheels type toy its a great upgrade makes it faster and the battery recharges are much faster. Plenty of videos on youtube how to do it and also gets you thinking about other projects like this one the op posted and how to do those.Upgrade for Power Wheels kids riding toy cars/trucks to use Dewalt or Milwaukee batteries.

You just responded to the OP lol And said the same thing about them being faster with it.If you have a kid or grand kid that rides a power wheels type toy its a great upgrade makes it faster and the battery recharges are much faster.

This is a really cool idea!
I had never heard of these adaptors before, and thank you to @1075tech for the link - only 13 bucks? I may snag one soon...just because.
I guess wiring is pretty simple? What's in the box (in my best Brad Pitt voice)?
Super cool idea to get some power without a generator.
I also second the idea for solar panels, I had bought some for my enclosed trailer, never installed, and once the series I raced with shut their doors I ended up selling the panels. But I didnt give up on the idea, one day I'll do it

Wiring is easy. Youtube university can help. What kind of projects you got in mind?If someone were new (like, REAL new) to wiring, how hard would this be to complete?
Ive soldered some wires and capacitors before, but not much wiring stuff at all

I was thinking something like this. 12v deep cycle battery, a couple of solar panels on the roof. GTG.
Amazon.com : power wheels adapter

Google Power wheels adapter for (your type of battery)
That is exactly what I did.I was thinking something like this. 12v deep cycle battery, a couple of solar panels on the roof. GTG.
Me too, except in a shed not a trailer.That is exactly what I did.
Waking this thread up...
I find I am in need of some lighting in a storage area w/no 110v nearby. This design has appeal!
I looked up the things on your parts list (thank you) and saw this, regarding your low voltage disconnects:
It can only work with a single battery, not work well with the battery in parallel(battery pack). Most big batteries are made of many small batteries inside, such as Mil-waukee/ De-walt battery. So we don't recommend you to use it with these batteries.
I'm green at sparky-stuff, so I have a few questions if you don't mind:
Have you had or do you anticipate any cordless-tool battery-protection issues related to the above?
Are you running 12v-rated LEDs on 20v Dewalt batteries w/o a converter/controller or some way to step down the voltage? I'll be using Milwaukee 18v, so similar situation will apply.
Any advice (on topic, that is!) appreciated.
EDIT: Was looking at this or somthing similar:
These separate each light so I can only have 1 light on at a time. If I have all the lights on at the same time the draw from the battery is more ,so the battery will go dead faster.What are these 3 gray/red/blue things that are circled in blue? Like what do they do?

Wire connectors.
@DangerRuss EDIT: meant to quote OP's parts list:
Lever wire connectors
GKEEMARS 10 Pcs Lever Wire Connectors, Quick Wiring Cable Connector Push-in Conductor Terminal Block (2 in 6 Out) https://a.co/d/8jmjUmY
These separate each light so I can only have 1 light on at a time. If I have all the lights on at the same time the draw from the battery is more ,so the battery will go dead faster.
These lever style connectors are nice . The only tool you need is the wire stripper. You can also add more lights later to that individual switch.
The lights have a working voltage range 12v-36v or 48v.Waking this thread up...

Yes you can do this without the separate switches/circuits . Totally depends on your application.Could you eliminate them in your current design? Like aren’t they just a pass-thru in the way you are using them?
Is the reason you included them, to allow for future expansion, like if you wanted to run additional lights off of one of your 3 switches?
But what I mean is, couldn’t you keep the switches, but remove the lever junction blocks? If you didn’t want to allow for future expansion, Isn’t each junction block really just giving you a way to splice in common ground for all your circuits? so instead you could run a single junction block just for the common ground, or tap the ground 3 times off the main ground with no junction block?Yes you can do this without the separate switches/circuits . Totally depends on your application.
I may add lights on the rear of the trailer for loading and unloading.
