Well unless Swytch supply an 'extra battery' pack I would imagiine modifying the Switch Max\Controller to accept dual batteries, would void any warrenty.
Last time I looked, it was a standard controller, so you can connect any battery you want of the correct voltage. best way to do it is to put a nice easy connector between the Swytch battery and the controller, then put the same connector on your replacement/extension battery, so you can switch them over whenever you want.
Thanks for the reply.
I have the latest version of Swytch kit. The battery is wrapped in tough plastic and is then secured to a unit which I assume has all the gubbins in it.
On the latest Swytch kit, is not the battery and controller all connected together and sealed in the case that mounts on the handlebar connector ?
It is. Somebody needs to open one so that we can see where to tap in. Also, tell us how many electrical connection points on the battery. It looks like two, but I can't find any clear photos. People always ask us for stuff, but they never give anything.
I'm wondering if the pins are for pre-charging because without pre-charge, you'd get a frightning zap noise and spark when connecting the battery to the controller. On a normal battery, you don't notice it because the connection point is well-shrouded at the point of connection and it's away from your hands, but not on the Swytch. I also thought about a remote switch, like you get on some bikes, but then the charging wouldn't work with only two pins, so that can't be it.
Hi John Bucklebury, I am trying to do the same thing. Did you get to any conclusion? I will try to purchase the XT60 or XT30 connectors and adapt them to check if they fit
