Hey all, I converted my kiddos Powerwheels Escalade to a ryobi 18v battery input. Havent put in a speed controller yet. I got like a premade ryobi adaptor on amazon with a 30a fuse inline. Im not an electrician, but the whole thing took like 10 mins to cut the wires and regigger them. I was under the impression that the 18v battery would not only produce more power but would also last longer than the old huge ass powerwheels battery! but that seems to not be the case. It def has more power but the kiddos can only drive the powerwheels car around for maybe 5 mins before it dies. I charge the battery and plug it back in and it starts going again and dies again after 5 mins! whats up with

Hey ppl, I've read alot about how you should only charge the Kona to 80% to extend the life of the battery and that if you plan to go on a long trip then you can doo 100%. My question is, what if I'm doing Uber and everyday I'm really using up all the km and getting it down to 10%? Did it make sense to charge it everyday to 100 in this case? Should I still just do it to 80 ?

My apologies if this had been posted before from an Uber perspective

... wondering if anyone has any experience with the grizzl-e charger? I believe my kona can only take 32a and the default on the charger is 40a. this should still work, right? I mean the car regulates how much amps its taking in, right?

also i read i can reduce the amps in the charger itself to 32a by using the dip switches. but what would be the benefit of this if the car regulates the amps going to the abttery? is this necessary at all?

Hello people. I am very close to buying a 2019 Kona EV Ultimate. I live in Canada (Waterloo specifically) and I am going to Toronto today to take a look at the car and if everything goes according to plan, probably sign some paper work too. I know this year of kona EV had a recall on the battery, but the guy at the used car lot says that he spoke to Hyundai and the agent told him that yes there were recalls, but they didn't apply to every unit and this specific unit was not affected. I asked him for the VIN number which he provided and i ran it through the hyundai recall website.

vin: KM8K33AG4KU046726

I have only had the machine a week, but I fell in love right away! lol! I've done some great prints then all of a sudden on day i wake up to half a print. ok probably nozzle is clogged, this has happened before, i unclog if with the tool and even use some filament to do a cold pull for good measure. I load filament and notice that when the filament comes out of the nozzle is it really thin. as it comes out there are moments or times where it bunches up and collects as you can see in the pictures. I tried to print the latter A for my kid, its a big block A and I have printed it out a couple of times now. This time however its only printing like a very think layer and it looks like it get
